>paying $60 for new games

How do consoletards justify this?
>>
Buy used for less than half the price
>>
>>337752476
>new games
>>
I get a $30 discount on my games since I offer sex with the ugly and/or fat female employees in return.
>>
>>337752318
I get a physical copy.
>>
>>337752573
Buying new games is like buying a new car.
>>
>>337752573
New to me.
>>
>>337752318
I pay $48, half of that if a buddy wants to split
>>
I wait till the price goes down to $25 and less. also, it depends if the game is really good or not and actually worth buying for $60.
>>
>>337752318
Buy making enough money to afford it without whining on the internet like an entitled little bitch
>>
I buy $60 games I know ill get over 100 hours in.

Still waiting for Until Dawn to drop to $20 as I know it's a short game.
>>
>>337752476
isn't buying used just as cancerous as Pirating?
>>
>>337752318
Their parents buy them

Or they have a shit ton of disposable income, I mean consoles are dirt cheap anyways. The 500$ or so they save buying a console they waste on brand new 60$ games
>>
>>337752318
Being employed.
>>
>>337752318
We are rich, I bet you don't even buy multiple copies to support the franchise fucking PC piratefag scum

Get lost

>best buy fag club
>20% off
>best buy bucks
> $10 cards for president orders
>AAA shovelware 50% off in 2-3 month
>add 20% to that 50%

Git gud.
>>
>>337752318
I'm in south america, we all are poor here anyways so why not?
>>
At least I can sell them after I beat them. Effectively paying only $10-15.

Enjoy your 1s and 0s pkuk mASSter race :^)
>>
>>337752318
I appreciate what some game dovelpers do for such a shitty class of consumer.

This isn't a thing. The pictured PC can play games like W3 on Ultra at 30FPS.
>>
>>337753623
More so. Sometimes a pirate will buy a game he likes. How often do you hear of consolefags returning/selling their used game and buying a new one?

Except that everyone needs a computer anyway. Factor in the price of their shitty laptop and it's going to be significantly higher than just building one machine that does everything better.

You mean $80.

I bought until dawn on Black Friday for 20$ a couple months after it came out. Feels good man.

>How do consoletards justify this?
only thing keeping the industry afloat.

broke ass steam sailors
and 11th world pirates bring in no $$$
>>
>>337757715
Yeah they sure are keeping things a float with all those used games.
>>
>>337753854
They don't save anything because consoles have hidden costs:

hidden cost 1: even when both are at full price a console game costs 20 bucks more

hidden cost 2: PSN and Xboxgold to play online

hidden cost 3: Both sony and microsoft have shitty support and warranty policies while making their systems complicated to repair - a part breaks on your 1+ year old console: buy a new one.

So a Pc has the higher initial pay wall for the rig, but after 2 years the average console will be more expensive than a high tier gaming PC
>>
>>337752318
no hardware upgrades except for every 5 years, and buying 2nd/3rd price drop at $299 and used games/redbox/greatest hits $20
>>
>>337752318
Nice exclusives and nice for multiplats if you don't want to bother upgrading your pc.
>>
>>337753394
Got it for $20 a couple months ago on sale at best buy. It was $20 during black Friday as well, possibly even where that another got it for that price. Check best buy now and then.

>The "you need to upgrade your PC every year" meme when moore's law got killed by physical limitations

Atm is the best time to own a decent PC and literally the worst to own a console.
Because until we have another breakthrough in cpu architecture the frequency you need to update your hardware will drop hard.
Meanwhile consoles are literally 2 gens behind.
And no, since it got leaked that ps4,5 will just be "a slightly overclocked PS4" and sony wants that shit to run 4k while devs alrdy complained that it wont be natively possible, that thing wont help you either,
>>
>>337752318
really? $60 ain't that much in the first world
>>
I'm not a poor NEET. That's literally not even a days work.
>>
>>337759318
>when moore's law got killed by physical limitations
This. CPU wise the ugprade meme is completely dead for at least 5 years thanks to AMD LITERALLY holding back Intel cuz they don't want to kick AMD completely out of the CPU market and kill 'em that way.

GPU wise it's looking much better "thanks" to nvidia not giving the slightest fuck like Intel seems to do.
>>
>>337759318
>Atm is the best time to own a toaster
>>
>>337752318

I almost never buy games at that price.

I'll wait until at least a 50% price drop, I don't care if it takes years to happen, and if it never happens then I get it secondhand or don't get it at all.
>>
>>337752476
I hope you're not talking about gamestop's jew tactics.
>>
>>337752318
Someone has to.
I know you PC thieves wont
>>
>>337752318
as long as I get over an hour per dollar I paid, I don't see the issue.
>>
>>337752318
If you can't get them on PC, or you want to support the official release rather than emulate for immersion reasons.

Because I'm not underaged.

PS4 is my only console. PC has better deals, but I'm satisfied with my casual gaming experience. Spent most of my time working, outside, or shitposting like a mad cunt.

All new, sealed (in Canada fun bux)

>PS4 with Uncharted Collection: $380
>Second Son: $20
>Assassin's Creed Unity: $15
>Diablo 3 + Expansion Pack: $35
>Bloodborne: $35
>Bloodborne DLC: $20
>God of War 3: $20
>Farcry 4: $20
>Ratchet & Clank: $50
>GTAV: $40

>PS Plus Annual Sub: $50

>$685 total

For the amount I game, this is fine.

Same, I'am 21 and it feels weird to ask my parents to buy me new consoles and videogames, i kind of feel bad. So now i'm aiming to get a good job so i can buy them without a worry
