You pay $400 for it new or buy a used digital system for less. Sony even sells a refurbished disc version for $400 if you are weirdly stuck on physical (since I assume you don’t buy it that way with your current gaming hardware). Do you also quote the highest possible price for a cellphone or a pc?
I mean, you chose your medium for playing games. The same thing exists for a lot of games. I’m quite sure you paid at least that to game in your platform of choice.
Considering I’d have a PC regardless, no. My GPU is the only thing that’s really “gaming specific,” and I pay about $200-300 per console generation for an upgrade, and I’d still need something for display out regardless.
How exactly do I avoid paying $600 for it if I don’t own a PS5?
How does anybody own a Ps5 when it has no games?
Yeah its not none but it is low. They did a great job making the ps4 and dualshock 4 feel lesser comparatively.
Same way people have to buy a PC or XBox to play your beloved Starfield.
Does not compute
If you buy a PC or Xbox just to play Starfield you got other issues.
If you buy a PS5 just for AstroBoy, same. Its Game of the Year but def not the best ever PS5 game. God of War, Horizon, Ratchet and Clank, Spiderman…

Yes you are right, paying $400 for a game is of course very much reasonable.
