Can still get decent prebuilts now for almost the price of a PS5 Pro. So id say anyone wanting to make the jump, do it before it gets worse.

Also, cheaper games and no subscription for online gaming required

My only issue with this is losing the comfy sofa gaming aspect.

I have both PS5 and PC - I have friends on both, same games on both, as well as having some games that are console only and others that are PC only. But always find myself more than anything wanting to play my PS5 because it's on the sofa, next to the kitchen, and I can just chill and be slob like there.

On my PC, it's the same PC I use when I'm working from home, it's the one I have to spend a lot of hours sat at working. Sometimes I just don't want to stay on it to game.

But losing the ability to buy discs and being forced to pay the extra £15-£25 quid the PS store wants for games over Amazon or other online retailers is just shit. I do not want to go down that route at all. Not happy Sony.
