    Nah, maybe in large cities. My pc was 2500, and it was good enough. I could have brought it down to 1500 if I wanted to start replacing parts within a year and play on the lowest graphics setting. Even at 2500 4 years ago, I’ve replaced and upgraded my graphics since then. And need to start upgrading other parts probably next year. I can do that now, but I was quite broke before and console was the cheapest way for me to game. Still console game quite a bit because I just like it better for some games.

      Doesn’t matter the size of your city. Pretty much everywhere has some sort of delivery service…

      My pc was 2500

      Wait so you paid $2500 for a PC and then still went out and bought a console, and you have the audacity to complain about pricing?

      I could have brought it down to 1500 if I wanted to start replacing parts within a year

      Nonsense. Unless you just spend your money really poorly, a $1500 PC will outperform any console for years to come.

      Even at 2500 4 years ago, I’ve replaced and upgraded my graphics since then.

      You say that like it was necessary.

        This is the bullshit we always have to deal with. Like all pricing is the same everywhere in the fucking world. News fucking flash, it is not. Computers and parts where I am are fucking expensive.

        And now I can afford it so I’m not too worried. Before I could not and pc gaming was just out of my price range.

          Don’t know why you think it’s bullshit when you started this conversation without ever mentioning anything about where you live or your local pricing.
