What all you have of pc already? Because 5080+ pc is going to be damn expensive.

I have nothing rn. If I were to buy a 5080 PC, I would sell my 3 consoles - PS4 Pro, PS5 and XSX. Ultimately, budget would not be a challenge

Hi guys, what would be the better choice 

 

1) buying a 5080 PC

 

2) buying PS5 Pro

 

my main criteria is maximising (value & performance) per rupee

PC.

 

Remember all PS5 games comes to PC after launch and Sony not releasing many first party games anyway now.  Long development cycle and rising cost of games will slow down how many AAA games these publishers will release as exclusive to one platform. 

 

PC gives you acess to pretty much 99% of games out there at best graphics and resolution and its future proof. Pro will get replaced by PS6 in just 2-3 years max  iam 100% sure. 

 

Get PC now and maybe PS6 in future. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S - No online tax, no cloud save tax and discounted cheaper games on PC compared to PS5 thanks to various deals and all. Dont forget PC gamepass lol

3-4 years is more realistic.

Lol 

 

27 would make it 3 years….few seconds ago you were 100% sure it would be 2 years.

 

 

Next Gen PS console has never released before 7 years since PS2….don’t know what gives you 100% surety that this time it would be 6.

I still believe 2 but maybe they might push to 3 years. Not 4 no chance.

Pc for best performance. Having said that , "PC games are cheap " argument is garbage. Its a digital only platform thats not as cost effective as disk edition consoles.

Guys I am embarrassed to report that I succumbed to FOMO (and the fact that I am joining a new job in December and had some quality downtime to spend on gaming before that) and pre-ordered the PS5 pro from mx2games. With 5% cashback card it ended up costing me 65.5K, which I guess is not that bad a deal. They are also giving 3 months seller warranty and have not let me down before (have bought a Switch and some games from them earlier).

 

So have taken this risk (despite my earlier posts lol). Wait for Nov begins. Hopefully all goes well. Otherwise seppuku in order

No need to be embarrassed. The import price is really fair on their part and getting it 3-4 months ahead of release is golden in your case.

My only issue of ordering now from m2x is that emi will start immediately and there is no guarantee of them shipping within 3-4 weeks. So unnecessarily I will keep paying. I will probably order when it's in stock. Hgworld etc will also get it by then.

Oh yeah not sure about EMI part. I paid all in one go only as otherwise I wouldn't have got 5% cashback.

Ok so you and I will either regret this or we will be the first ones here to get it

Thats a lot of money to be stuck with them. They should have taken a token amount like 15k and asked to pay full amount when they have stocks for dispatch. Maybe they don't have that much capital.

I did ask them to take token but they were adamant about full payment
