Your Palatable Console/PC Price? - Moonface - Sep 10th, 2024
Really struggled with what to name this one.
Anyway, with today's announcement of the PS5 Pro and its accompanying $700 price tag, it's not surprising to see a majority of comments saying that $700 is too steep of an asking price, whether it be for what the PS5 Pro offers or because that price is just too high for a gaming console. I myself didn't care to get a PS5 Pro no matter what the price, but if I had been considering one the $700 price would definitely turn me off.
So I'm curious what everyone else's limit is for what they would spend on a console or PC? Does your limit change depending on what's being offered to you, and do you have an absolute upper limit you won't spend more than regardless of what the console/PC offers?
For me I don't know what my absolute limit is, but I know anything over $500 for a console is very likely to make me really think about if I want to purchase it or not. For PC's, I know to get something suitable for what I want to do is going to cost me over $1000, but I probably wouldn't look for anything over $2000 unless none of the options available to me are less than that.
