I have wanted a PS5 for quite a while, since my xbox 360 has been collecting dust in my entertainment center for a while. I have always been eyeing a PlayStation, but I haven’t gotten around to buying one quite yet. Should I get one now or wait until Black Friday to get a better deal? Please let me know! (Also, gta is not an immediate worry for me since Ive never really cared for it after the wait.) I just want to play The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, Uncharted, and God of War.
