    Why should the PC not have a blu-ray drive, it has all the freedom a console lacks. But I don’t remember the last time I needed one, because I can get just a few month old games for 5 bucks. So I didn’t even bother buying a drive. I buy games for 45 bucks while on console they cost 80 and more, on release day.

    Yeah add the cost for the week PC on top, another reason why PC is cheaper, as you’ll likely need a PC regardless.

    Not playing online would be the only reason why PS is cheaper and if you buy no games and only lend them from others. Price of PlayStation plus PS+ gets you a good PC if you use it for 5+ years, which most do.

      Maybe if you see it that way. But just thinking about how much you need to upgrade your PC or tinker with it for everything to work is too much for me.

      I already don’t like the fact that on ps5 you have to choose between performance and fidelity modes, so imagine if I had to choose settings on a pc.

      Also on consoles, you just know a game is gonna work perfectly, which is not always the case on pc.

      But PC is better for some players and console are better for some others.

      I sometimes consider jumping to PC gaming, but I see too many inconveniences for now.
