    They each cost 80 dollars

    Plus 5 dollars a year subscription each. And you still have to pay the rest of the year for the game that Sony took away.

      But seriously, how hard is it just not to buy?
      It’s not like sony/or any company automatically takes it off from our credit card, though they would really like to.

        “Just don’t buy it” works great in a world where you dont have to pay for every meager comfort you can find.

      And there’s an optional battle pass on top of that, plus separate purchasable cosmetics like an $80 Horse armor…. Wait a minute…

    It’s 2026, I own a PC using parts up to a decade old. Its worth less than 2 weeks of minimum wage. All the games are digital, I just got 15 of them for under £80 and can backup the installer to an external drive.

    I can even get a refund a few weeks later if I don’t like one of the games.

      It’s 2017, I’m using a state-of-the-art PC with a Ryzen 1700X and DDR4 RAM.

      It’s 2025, I’m upgrading my obsolete PC to a Ryzen 5700X3D to get a little more life out of it on the cheap, sticking with DDR4 RAM instead of upgrading to DDR5.

      It’s 2033, I’m using my PC with a Ryzen 5700X3D and DRR4 RAM that is now much faster than anything that can be bought in the current market at anything approaching a reasonable price. I am desperately hoping the capacitors on my 16-year-old motherboard continue to hold out.

        please don’t give me new financial nightmares. I’m already poor.

    This is the bright future that we all always waited for. Now that it’s here, let us commemorate our meagre contributions towards appeasing shareholder value, that which cannot be appeased.

      The PS6 doesn’t take external power. It has a non-replaceable battery that can’t be recharged.

        I’m sure you can subscribe “recharge” which lets you recharge the battery by 25% per day for a mere $49.99 a month, “recharge++” which lets you recharge 50% per day for just $79.99, or “ultra charge” which costs $99.99 but lets you fully recharge the battery whenever you like, but the battery starts to lose charge capacity after approximately 100 full charges.
