please tell me how badly i've fucked up
>>745964862You probably could have got a new one for that much but what do you mean? You did not want a PS5?
no games
>>745964862If it's doing what you want and not fucking up your cost of living to get it: not at all. You could buy the Steam Machine with controller and format it to windows and wouldn't give a shit, your money, your time, and your experience.

>>745964862It's a paperweight m8
>>745964862Do whatever your heart desires, life is painfully short
>>745964862Only thing is that 1TB could be much much more smaller as SSDs deprecate.My PS5 iirc started at 825GB, not an actual 1TB because the OS and now it is down to like 600GB+
What games are you buying it for, OP?
>refurbished>digital onlysay wallahi bro
you better be really fuckin' excited to play gran turismo and gta 6.I was thinking about one but decided I can wait a couple years to play gta and I doubt gt7 is worth it
Pretty dumb. The next gen would only be a few years away. Should be more but probably less.And you wont use it.Getting stuff also weighs you down. Stops you from travelling. It's not a good idea to acquire anything you can't easily take with you.
>>745964954>You did not want a PS5?i did not.i've played every gta upon release since the first one, it came out when i was 10 years old.the ps5 library genuinely does not interest me at all since i have a pc and ps4 already. i have not played a ps4 game in like 6 years now.the pro ver does not seem to be worth the money.in fact spending anything extra on this dogshit console does not seem worth it. never going to pay for ps+, probably won't even buy any other games than gta6.i shotgunned this ps5 because i anticipated a shortage the closer to gta6 release gets. genuinely i've been getting a lot of anxiety about it, but i don't think i had enough reason to worry about that.>>745965337the bits to bytes meme is as old as timeand yeah i guess the OS will take some storage, i don't think it should be that much tho>>745965414it comes pre-installed with astro's playroom loli think i'll play that and then use the controller to hold down my pile of napkins so my fan doesn't blow them away
So far I've had 100% luck with refurbished tech, but I'd probably never gamble on a PS5.
NO GAMES!
>>745964862Congrats you bought a PlayStation at the exact time the gaming community is dropping it because Sony are irredeemable cunts
Sorry, but I can't justify double dipping for that game.I already wasted 400 dollars for the switch 2 and only turned it on a grand total of 10 times. The ps5 is literally the exact same fucking thing, just a glorified paper weight.I have nearly 2000 games on steam alone, not including my gog library. I'll be fine for another year. GTA games are only good modded any ways.
>>745965518>The next gen would only be a few years away.It won't be worth it. Look how shitty this gen has been and with estimated costs of PS6 being over $900 why would you want to do that to yourself?
>>745965636The whole Sony outrage makes no sense to me, if they are all mad about digital only, where are they going to go? PC? that ecosystem is nothing but digital. Console niggers really are the lowest forms of life on this planet.
>>745965556>the bits to bytes meme is as old as timeWhat?>i don't think it should be that much thoIt is.1TB isnt actually 1TB and the OS is of course huge, as well as it gets updated.https://www.gamesradar.com/ps5-storage-space-how-much-hard-drive-size/Issue with buying 2nd hand is you dont know how much the SSD has deprecated.
You could have bought a used on ebay for a lot less.
>>745965518>It's not a good idea to acquire anything you can't easily take with you.While I understand what you mean this is a childs way of thinking.When you are an adult you will want your own cooker, a washing machine, your own bed...your own house...
>>745965650>wasted 400 dollars for the switch 2I bought the switch 1 for TotK and Its about the same, i have turned it on like 10 times.Though i bought it second hand with games, have sold all the games and it is hackable.
>>745965834Sony is stripping away the good reasons to own a console one by one, without matching the benefits of a PC. So yeah, you might as well just get rid of your PlayStation and buy a PC
>>745964862honestly?no, if you only did it for GTA VI, I bet you could easily resell it for more than you paid once you finish the game.the systems are getting another price hike soon and everyone wants to play GTA
>>745965421Who gives a shit if it's digital only. The disc drive will be a paper with in a few years anyway, and if you really think you're going to give a shit about playing Astrobot off of a disc after WWIII destroys the Internet, then buddy, you should be buying canned food and shelf stable diapers instead of videogames.
>>745965676the ps4 was released in 2013 i didn't buy one until 2018, when it finally had some fucking gamesonce i bought said games, they swiftly ported those to PC within the same month>>7459659211000tb is simply 931gb formattedit's not a false advertisement it's just a different method of measuring thingsi heard that the ps5 comes 825gbi would assume that's not only the OS but also a recovery partition for the OS>deprecatedthat is not what that word means. that would mean i bought the SSD then the company swiftly released SSD 2.0 and stopped supporting SSD 1i know what you mean but NVME SSD storage controllers, even SATA ones, know when their bits are worn out, and reallocate them. it happens when you have trillions of bits understandably, but it's not like the entire thing wears down in a consistent linear fashion. perchance.
>>745965834It's just people trolling, typical communists wanting to tear down another institution, stupid Euros have fallen for it because they're online 24/7 and do anything an E-Celeb tells them, but actual PS gamers haven't dropped PlayStation.

>>745964862>please tell me how badly i've fucked upBadly. I have had one of these for years, and there is literally NOTHING to play on it besides the Demon's Souls remake.

>>745964862Refurbished for 500 dollars? Isn't that kinda...too much?
>>745966673Newer 5's have 825 GB, older ones have 1 TB, Pros have 2TB, and they have a port for standard SSDs if you want to expand memory or you use and basic External HDD for extra storage, PS5 games can't played of an HDD, but can be stored on one but PS4 games can.And if you have PS4 with an external HDD, You can just plug it in to the PS5 and start playing, no additional formatting required, same with the SSD if you're going from Base to Pro model.
>>745966673>deprecatedI used a D instead of an S.You must be a retard an a phone fag to not understand a typo and infer correctly>To mark (a component of a software standard) as obsolete to warn against its use in the future so that it may be phased out.SSDs depricate.Meaning every time you write or delete data from an SSD it loses ability to write data on it again.If the PS5 is 6 years old and the owner was writing and deleting data frequently the SSD could be as little as 400GB

>>745966936>literally NOTHING to play on itWhy are you spouting fucking bullshit?
>>745967201not necessarily. i haven't had a job for a long time but i've got a savings account i'm dipping into because gta has had an oddly important place in my life.my favorite has always been III. i think V is the worst. VI looks awful but that's only par for leaked footage. if it's an absolute bombshell or not i really need to see that for myself day one.>>745967374i assume this is one of those models where the liquid paste leaked out because the dumbass owner left it standing vertically>>745967472i think you mean the word degradation.refurbs don't end up back at sony co after that long. they end up on ebay. warranty window is only one year.if any components were really 'used up' like that, they'd be inclined to replace them before reselling the bitch for near retail value.i don't think you know how storage technology works, nor have a strong command over the english language.i'm severely hungover sipping coffee and i think i'm still expressing myself better than you.

>>745970974It's not simply previously used. It's previously broken.
>>745971227Same exact thing in the west.Japanese used = thing was used but taken care of, basically newWestern used = misused, raped and (nearly) broken

>>745970681kekKlarna is the epic new meme where you don't need a hard credit pull to get credit, basically for Africans who need to finance a pizza but can't get a CC for obvious reasonsAlso the 31 a month for 18 months one puts money in their pocket but retards will choose it because it's cheaper.It's making me think the stock market is approaching "the top" because of all the people defaulting on their loans and taking out "not loans" with Klarna
>PS5 has been out for 6 years>It's actually gotten MORE expensivethis is fucking absurd we need to kill AI now
>>745965636Ain't nobody dropping anything, also like 93% of the console game sales were digital.
Some of those refurbished consoles aren't really refurbished, as in they don't really open then up and fix shit that may be broken or even clean them, they just turn ON the machine and see if it boots and put it back in the box, so some times you get shit like roaches inside it or problems that only show after hours of playing like overheating or artifacting, crashing etc.Good luck.
>>745965556>i spent $600+ dollars to play a gamegenuine golemcattle behaviour
>>745964862I don't see any games in your pic
>buying a system for ONE game that is not even out yet and that will probably be disappointingHoly mother of consoom
>>745972441You still need a source of income to use Klarna. 'Buy now, pay later' isn't exactly a new concept; Klarna is just the most popular middleman for digital purchases. You're right that it's retarded to buy food or luxury products if you're strapped for cash though.
>>745972754Ok shiteater, wish sony good luck selling a 1000 dollar digital only PS6, when PS5 already sold less than PS4
>>745964862wait why not ps5 pro?
>>745973328because it's twice the price for about a 15% perf increasei don't even have a 4k monitor
>>745964862>RefurbishedNice. One more PS5 sale. 100 milly soon
well you bought a console with...2 exclusives to its name? astrobot and demons souls remake?
>>745965556jfc I get don't get this shit but I sort of do since Ace Combat does this for me, still wouldn't buy a whole new console for it tho
>>745970228so you're going to spend $600 for a console you don't want just to play a game you aren't excited about?
>want to pre-order product well in advance>it's already out of stock and they refuse to make more based on demand>those scumbags put an insane limit on the products to create artificial scarcity>they do this with every damn controller out there except a handfulI hope sony finally fails after their ridiculous scummy practises and idiotic investments
>>745974621i still firmly remember booting up gtav for the first time on the ps3i stole a bike and rode it around in the sewers that was the first thing i didi thought it was incredible that this old busted console could still offer such a high fidelity experience, thought it was amazing that this was the same console that struggled to render shadows at 20fps in gtaiv. no one even touches that gen's ports anymore and this is going to be the same story with gta6 and the ps5 nearing EOL.>>745974931bro those look fucking awful
>>745965556If all you cared about was playing GTA on release I'm sure you could have found an Xbox for cheaper
>>745975102yeah but that would mean i'd have to deal with microsoft's anti-consumer ecosystem and i'm not nearly suicidal enough for that yet
>refurbished PS5>$499 USDPS5's are all prone to failure because of the liquid metal shit they use.
>>745975097why are you black?
>>745975196I honestly have no idea what that means, especially compared to Sony's recent nonsense. But if it makes sense to you, don't worry about it.
>>745975217this is why you put them on their side. If you have them standing up the liquid pools at the bottom and doesn't cool properly.
>>745975196PS5 is genuinely the worst product if you care about that stuff. Xbox still has plenty of backwards compat while Sony locks to to PS4 or PS5 games only with some exceptions of classics when they feel like porting them.
>>745964862Not really worth it. I just play Genshin and ZZZ on mine.
>>745964862>$500 for a fucking secondhand digital consoleIf you made it this far, wait for PS6. You missed the train on the PS5. You should have bought it on sale for like $400 with a disc drive.

>>745975376i've hated og xbox since it was first announced. i thought it was a terrible idea microsoft wanting to enter the console market, going directly head on in competition with other companies that already knew how to do it. it's not really rooted in some fanboy shit, i really thought it was a retarded idea, and i was right, and i'm still right. microsoft only knows how to make poor quality products, and when you deal with them you truly get the goycattle experience. they have endless money to throw at failing upwards, and you get to feel the full blunt force of their endless failures, never learning anything from them, and i hate that.i think of that jerma bit every time i imagine being on an xbox, it's the perfect summation of the microsoft experiencehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_mXvgKXxpY>>745976143i waited a day for the buyer's remorse to set in though

>>745977343i think i already said it earlier, some disasters need to be experienced first hand, like bethesda games. you can't really perfectly describe the experience, you just have to see the trainwreck unfold yourself.i remember when gta online first launched, it was fucking AWFUL, and it stayed that way as they methodically whittled the fun out of it over the years.>>745977437ricochet 2
>>745966152They're hasn't been a good reason to own a console since the PS3/360 era, as that was the last era that had actual good exclusives.

Its still good tho. I just wish Rockstar Leeds would port a definitive edition combining for versions on Switch or PC. I simply do not give a fuck about GTA because V was garbage and 6 looks like a graphics mod.
