What would Chad Warden say?
>>
Save up for a car.
You'll be able to get a job where you can make more money to pay for your car and also for a PS4.
By the time you have some spare money for a PS4, there will be more games out. The ones that are already out will be cheaper too.

Get priorities straight mayne

That's only true with shitty Mazdas and Chevy

A car has more games than the PS4.

Seriously ask yourself, what do you NEED the PS4 for? Is there a reason? Literally the only single excuse is to play Bloodborne, it has no other games, and you can easily wait and play that game later.

Car is a much better investment professionally, socially, and in terms of overall entertainment value. It's a no-brainer.

no its true with every car in the midwest, if our weather doesnt destroy it, our roads will. if you want a car in actual good condition you need to go to Arizona

Do you need a car? Can you get around on a bike? Is public transportation readily available?

You have to remember a car is a money hole. Gas and maintenance will make the car cost much more in the long run. PS4 and any games you buy for it are one time investments, assuming the thing doesn't blow up.
>>
>>340046820
With a car you can drive around, be independent.
With a PS4 you can play bloodborne and that's it.

>>340048326

i already knew that.

ps4 it is then.

You don't buy for PS4, you wait for the PS4k like everyone else.

As an American, living in Europe was the strangest thing. I can drive 30 minutes at home and maybe be halfway to the next town. I can drive 30 minutes in Germany and see 3-4 villages or be at another major city on the autobahn.

Other than the northeast, our states are the sizes of countries in Europe. Public transportation simply isn't viable in most cases.
>>
>>340047387
public transportation is for poorfags and people who are too green for cars. imo cars bring individual people that certain freedom that you cannot have without. It's a safe space where nobody can come, you can drive it anywhere you want. It's like a small lookout tower on wheels.

With car you can drive to chick's place.. but it helps to have some chick first before having the car.

Car also helps to get the chicks, so it kinda becomes the typical meme of which one came first, chicken or the egg?

I'd honestly say a car is a bigger priority OP, but if you want one that's worthwhile you;re going to either need to become a super autist master car nerd mechanic and willing to go through pain and suffering to restore or repair something, or the other route is to spend at least $5000 on something good that will last you and not become a major source of stress in your life.

Basically a car is important but the $200-300 or so bucks you can get a good ps4 for on craigslist is literally insignificant in comparison to a car purchase.

You have no idea how poor you really are, do you?

(me too senpai desu)

Buy a car so you can live comfortable getting to and from work. Don't listen to public transportation cucks. It sucks and is only decent if you live in a big city

Then you'll have the money to buy a ps4 later.

What area do you live in?
If you literally just need wheels, and you're PROBABLY in your 20's with not a lot of income for a while, I wouldn't spend more than 3 or 4 thousand on a car.

Ask a Chad friend or a Dad friend to help you make sure you're not getting sheenied out of your money online, but you should be good for the most part.
>>
>>340059374
>>340059653
A cheaper car will definitely require some upkeep, which is why I said you gotta be vigilant in shit like checking oil/getting oil changed, brake pads going out, even shit as small as tire pressure can help you extend its life if you're making sure it's good.
