[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday (lemmy.world)

I don't know about recession, but I know I've hit a personal inflection point with prices where I'm just sick of the bullshit and only buy if absolutely necessary, or on sale.

Everyone is so fucking greedy, everyone wants just 5 more dollars bro to the point where the consumerism has been driven out of me.

I actually have money to buy shit, I just don't want to anymore because nothing seems to correspond to its value anymore.

A new car? 35 k for a fucking base kia, gtfo out with this shit.

New phone? 1.2k for the same screen bullshit as the last 5 years.

Same with this PS5, they are pricing this shit like it's lifesaving medicine, when in reality it's just shit no-one really needs

35k for a base Kia? Hell naw, I bought a fully loaded 2024 hyundai elentra hybrid for 34k out the door. Base Kia K4 is 22k plus tax title and reg. That's like almost a third less than what I paid lol
