6 years ago I would have said that was nuts, but 6 years ago I bought 32GB of DDR5 for $100... now the same sticks are $500+, so I feel like this is just the new normal and I'm just going to go back to my retro systems with carts and systems I actually own.
My Sega Genesis still works like a charm, and humans still make new games for it occasionally
And then you plug in your Everdrive and a new world opens up!
I’ve got one for the Genesis, now I need one for my SNES, and one for my NES
Just went back to check on two sticks of 32GB I bought in 2024 for $215. The same two sticks are listed for $1600.
