my tax return is a little more than I thought, and around $600usd higher than what I calculated it'd be before filing.
I really want to play rebirth because of FOMO, but it would be much, much more financially sensible to wait until the PC port is available. But, I also never, ever make large/frivolous purchases, and my ps4 is starting to really show signs of wear and tear.

If your PS4 is showing its age and you enjoy console gaming then go for it.

Seems like the PC version is only a few months away this time.

But I would never recommend buying a console for 1 game. Look at other PS5 "exclusives" to see if you're interested in any of those.

It's gonna be very hard to avoid spoilers for that long though.

If you think you'd use your PS5 for some other stuff, go for it.

If you have any interest in the recent Spider-Man games I'd recommend getting the Spider-Man 2 bundle just so you get a free game with it. And if your PS4 is showing its age then it's still worth getting just for any that you still actively want to play. Especially any that have PS5 upgrades available.

$600 is more than enough for GPU upgrade and then some. Wait for PC port. Quit indulging your FOMO.

I'm literally in love with Tifa so please don't say that.

I think I'm gonna buy it. It'll be like $540 after tax for the no disc version + rebirth, then I'll take R1 masher's advice and also donate money to red cross or st jude so I don't feel guilty.

Seems like a waste to do that for one game if you already have a decent PC. Just wait and save that money for something else.

Highly unlikely that the PC port releases in 2024 at all. Sony only paid for 3 months exclusivity this time, but that doesn't mean that SE will have it ready that fast

Also unlikely to release before FFXVI on PC which doesn't even have a release date yet

Word in the bathroom is that Square is having issues with the PC development on this leg of FF ports, so my answer is this:

Friends,

I bought a xbox series X for starfield. played for like 500 hours.

Never played another game on it. Its sitting on the floor, not even plugged in. Just
sitting there. collecting dust. I am playing LIke a Dragon on my ps4 pro.

Never buy a system for one game. That game is NOT going away.
Wait.
You might have an emergency, where you will need that money.

Skip this gen entirely or wait another couple years, go with pc instead. there's like 3 games for this gen and not one of them is worth full retail

Well, you did write four or five paragraphs having a breakdown about characters' boobs getting smaller... if the shoe fits.

Sony just announced that the PS5 entered it's late stages of life. Might as well wait for next gen.

What a sad generation.

He could also die at any moment due to a freak accident. He clearly wants it, let him enjoy it. Also you could just sell your xbox if you plan to play anything else and recoup a good chunk of the money.

Wait what? If you have a series X, why are you playing a multiplatform game on your PS4 Pro?

It's a copy/pasta. I've seen that exact post at least a dozen times now, if not more

Wait for PC. I really wanted to play Horizon Forbidden West when it came out but stayed strong and forgot about it. Now it's coming to PC next month and I'll get to play the superior version.
