I love PC gaming you so you don't have to convince me, but the value proposition these days isn't great for them.

Cause you can get PC gamepass if that's your thing but you can still get the big Playstation exclusives on Steam. Best of everything. And as much as 5090 users will try to convince you it's the only way to do it, a PC doesn't have to be absurdly expensive. You can still have a great experience without spending $2000+ on just a GPU.

Yeah, I didn't need to buy a 4090. But I'm glad I did and it's an investment I don't regret.

My first reaction was "Whaaaaat? No waaaaaay it costs that fuc-..." and then the Xbox Series X shop page loaded and showed a price of $729.99 CAD.

Holy sh-tballs, I had no idea it was that much now.
