| sc94597 said: The nice thing about gaming PC's is that most of these accessories are forward compatible. If somebody has owned a console since the Xbox 360 they can use that controller on a PC for just about any game. The same isn't true for consoles, so attaching the controller with the platform is an obligation on the platform holder. OS used to be a significant cost, but SteamOS (or any other Linux Distro) is free, and Windows licenses cost about $20 if one doesn't want to go the Linux route. Isn't the disc drive a separate $80 purchase on the PS5 pro? Was mostly just focusing on the cost-analysis.  |
True, I'm still using my 90's ACER mechanical keyboard, now with ps/2 to USB adapter plugged into my laptop. Mice don't last that long though, neither do controllers. Actually I am also still using the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro flight stick for FS2020, originally bought for FSX. And I do use a wired 360 controller for PC games! (Bought it new though, my original 360 controllers don't support data over the cable)
And yes, Disc Drive sold separately for PS5 Pro :/
Anyway yeah, you can get close when shopping around, which is pretty crazy. But for me, time to pick up PS5 Pro and plug it in is negligible compared to time to build/setup/maintain PC. Time is money, part of the cost analysis for me :)
Anyway fresh new controller, 2TB storage space, and better PSVR2 performance overall. I'm in.
