50% ($528) more expensive than PS5 Pro for a slower GPU, but faster CPU. However there’s no PlayStation subscription. Factor in that there’s no need to repurchase games and that’s not terrible for a PC gamer that wants a console. I can agree that’s a niche market.

I guess my post about the GOG sale should go here, not the free game thread.  
I picked up the Bard’s Tale trilogy for $3.84 (normally $15)
