So, I'm dropping ~$1K plus taxes. I have both preorders locked in. It was exciting and thrilling to try and get a piece of hardware. But now that both are on my credit card, it's becoming real. I can make legitimate arguments. That, hey, over time, both purchases will pay for themselves. I've purchased most every notable Sony exclusive: R&C, Bloodborne, every Uncharted, every TLOU, God of War, FF7R, GoT, Horizon, and Spiderman. I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I pretty much exclusively play Game Pass games now - recently fell in love with Yakuza. I play usually about like 2 hours a day between Xbox and PC, sometimes when I get more energetic I play much more, but I'm still way more tempered than when I was a kid. Part of that is the amount of content I have at my disposal at any given time. It's unreal.
I mostly want a PS5, despite it being my tertiary device, because I really liked Spiderman and Final Fantasy 7 remake. God of War was sensational (wanna play that in 4k) and I cannot believe they pulled that sequel off so quickly. Idk why I posted this. Probably because I wanted to convince myself I made a good decision, but yeah. I guess it's just weird that I can do this now. Never really thought if I should. I still think the value over time proposition makes sense. Like my ipad is a bad purchase day one, but by year 3 it's a pretty solid one. Same goes for my $1700 pc. It's value isn't there at the jump, but years down the road, absolutely. I'd probably buy it March 2021 anyway, at the same price after I receive my tax return, so why wait? There won't be any price changes until 2022 most likely. Eh, I'm hoping we get one more stimulus check, I'll be much more content if we did, but alas, even if not, I'm still within or over the budget I targeted at the start of 2020.
