Re: Scalpers Want $10k to Try to Buy You a 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro

It's one thing to jack up the price on a verified pre-order, this is just swindling someone out of their money. You'd be better off spending $10k on gambling. I still think these should not be limited.

Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Pro Way Too Expensive?

I was perfectly okay to pay $500 for a PS5 with disc drive. $300 more for a Pro version is just too much of a bump. If Sony had come out at $100-$150 more for the Pro, I don't think we'd see this much backlash. This is only for the hardcore of hardcore. Casual fans and average consumers are not going to buy this.

There are only a few franchises I can think of that buck the trends. God of War and Ratchet from the PS2 era, Gran Turismo from PS1 era. Maybe there are some others as well. I do wish Sony would make more games using older IPs, and give them to a different studio. They don't need to be made by the original developers if they are busy. Does a new Sly or Jak game really need to be AAA?
