Buying a PS5 to Play GTA6? Is It Still Worth It After the Price Hike?

Finally fired up the console on Saturday afternoon, hoping to relax a bit. But then I scrolled through the news on the subway, and my heart sank. Sony has raised the prices of the PS5 series again. The Pro version is now $899.99. That converts to over 6,200 RMB. With this money, I could order luxury takeout for so many meals. They just raised prices once before on August 21st last year. Back then, the starting price was said to be $749.99. This time, they directly added another 150 bucks. The kicker is it doesn't even come with a disc drive, which is a bit of a rip-off.

Speaking of which, who can handle this, bro? Consoles used to get cheaper the longer they were on the market. Now it's completely the opposite, which is really weird. Netizens in the comments section are saying it's simply outrageous. Everyone is worried about the future price of the PS6. I originally wanted to prepare for playing "GTA6". But now the entry barrier has jumped up significantly.

Office workers already have very little time as it is. Value for money is really the hard truth for us. At this price, it's better to save up some money and wait before buying. Or wait and see how the second-hand market looks. After all, we only have two days of free time on the weekend. I don't want to be broke for a long time just to buy hardware. How to put it, buying early means enjoying early, I guess. But buying late definitely means enjoying discounts, really. It's better for everyone to consume rationally. After all, games are for happiness, not for... ...blowing your whole salary on "faith". The saying "Those who wait always win" is spot on. Let's just hold onto our wallets tight and live our lives.
