I paid 300$ for mine and Iโ€™m almost not using my Playstation 5 anymore, except for really demaning games and Sim Racing.

I bought the OLED new (ouch!) and it's heavily used...exclusively at work. It's just one of those jobs with way too much idle time. Cabin fever will set in without hobbies. I read books a TON buut it's in cycles. Gaming right now. South Park Stick of Truth finished this set and I'm starting Fractured But Whole tonight because it was $3.50 on Autumn sale. The combat is worse but I love it so far anyways.
