Well you can spend all your money you want no cheap console is stopping you.



While I'm not big on digital games, it is true that some PC games are relatively cheaper than its console digital counterparts. It still doesn't convinces me. I buy digital for games I wanted to play for a long time and for those that have a good discount, not to increase my library needlessly. I don't spend money on cheap games I know I won't play ever again because I don't see value on it. Also, I have noticed firsthand that many launch games there are on the same price as those expensive physical console games.

The exception to the rule and not the rule itself. PC games are cheaper in the vast majority of cases, that's a fact and not a matter of opinion.

The only games I pay full price on are games that may become rare that I want physical copies of. Otherwise, I don't pay full price all that often even on PS4. I also don't buy shitty games just because they're on sale. I never understood that mentality.

How do you work that out? PC version £49.99 vs PS4 version £54.99??

Simply went to Sony's UK store and typed in Creed Syndicate and then went to Steam's UK store and did the same, both being entirely digital with the PC version seemingly lacking a pass to go with it's own price point.

But yeah in the end weeks before the PC version even gets the port it's still cheaper digitally, probably physically too, I'll be checking my local GAME store this week for a new gamepad and possible Steam one too so I'll check to see the phsyical prices there.

I get games off of Amazon and it's cheaper than steam sometimes.. But PC has great sales and humble bundle

Actually the cheap consoles are stopping me from buying an expensive console that delivers a better experience.
