Playstation 5 Pro

Not a big fan of the $700 USD price especially when it lacks a disc drive. You can easily make the argument of opting for a Slim at $500, but the extra terabyte of storage & stronger hardware made it worth the wait for me coming from a PS4 Pro. Pair it with a 55-inch LG B4 regularly found on sale at $1000 or as low as $600 USD like this past Black Friday & its the simplest way to game at 4K/120hz in your living room.

A gaming PC that's similar in performance or stronger costs roughly $1200 USD. And that's before you account for a high-end monitor that would cost $600 such as the MSI MAG 271QPX which runs 1440p/240hz (341CQPX ultrawide variant costs $760). Then you have to cross your fingers & hope developers actually did a good job at optimizing their game for PC when you adjust settings or else it won't even hit those frame rates.

Price increases over the past couple of years for computer parts have made me tell people to just buy a console & a good 4K display. It's less of a headache & you save a lot of time especially after a long day at work!
