It's a terrible purchase no matter how u slice it. Number one it wasn't really needed in the first place. If this was a next generation purchase it would be far more understandable. $700 without a disc drive for an uncustomizable console is a joke especially if u already have a PS5. Everyone I know said they keeping they regular PS5.
I said it before, but I think the price is higher simply because of the 2tb hdd. System would be $600 standard.
With all of that said, its time for me to start saving for a PC. Consoles ain't satisfying my graphical need and if next gen goes all digital it's really over. And Sony is porting everything over
I don't really know what I'm doing, but I built a 4090 for about $4700.
