no sir praying on broke gamers is exactly what nzxt is doing let's just call it for what it is
Agreed 100% makes zero sense to me on why they think it’s ok to make someone continue to pay on a pc that the person will never own.
I think it's the same as renting an apartment or leasing a car. I want this but don't feel comfortable committing to buying yet. But also specifically with this one you have a lot of extra money you're ok burning? OR you just want to be able to continually upgrade without the need to keep buying/selling. Just simplifies it for rich people.
I got the NZXT Flex for player two for work. They pay for the entire thing and send it to me for remote video editing. Once the subscription breaks even I have to buy a unit for myself. So it's not so bad, for me specifically.
Do they check credit? What is the steps to get this pc as a sub
I would say if I were to do this, it would be to get a PC quickly while I save up money for a gaming PC. It would then likely be a scenario where my current PC fails and I need to get up and running. I just did a major upgrade last year for the CPU/MOBO/PSU and this year I will upgrade the GPU since my current one is 4 years old. If something were to happen and I lose the PC I might do this for a few months while I save money to buy one outright.
this is almost exactly what i did, i had to sell me current gaming pc due to financial hardship a couple months ago, and instead of trying to spend a lot of money all at once to get my own pc, i decided to rent the player two, only costing me $99/month for a few months because i still require one, while at the same time saving money slowly to build my own high tier pc. these are really the only situations i can think of where it would be cost effective and reasonable.
its cool if you wanna try out a pc or need a backup
This is such a weird idea, I feel like this is for people that aren't actually PC gamers. If you REALLY need a gaming PC, why not open a credit card/find approval, build it yourself and keep the system? I understand that you can upgrade, but the idea of it never really being your own and everything that comes with that just doesn't make sense to me. I recently upgraded my GPU, CPU and mobo for the first time in 8 years and it'll likely last me another 8+. I spent around $800 on those parts. It's like leasing a car, i just don't get it.
Thanks for the info. I think the 75mo for 12 months would be good for me
You bet! If you are going to go the payment plan route, it's worth first looking into opening a credit card. Very common to get 12-15 months with no interest so it's basically a free loan. That is, assuming you are disciplined and pay it off in that time period.
@@TechAuditTV great idea thanks for that idea. Much appreciated!!✌🏼
maybe at a time where you're waiting to rebuild your own pc that may take up to 3 months, i could see someone renting it just for a max of 3 months so that they have something to play on?
Please ma,e video on best portable oled monitor for ps5
I am planning on getting the flex player 3 pc for summer because my parents only allow me to trade stocks during the summer and not during the school year and it is better to have a 2,000$ pc and spend 600$ for when i use it then build my own pc and have it collect dust, also i prefer playing games on my xbox series X 16:57
Hold up, you are renting a gaming PC to trade stocks?! You can do that on a $200 Chromebook!
@@TechAuditTVoverall it depends on how much he is really trading, if he is really interested and into it it would not be hard to overload a Chromebook
@@jackclark6508 I mean I suppose if he's going to be having several monitors each with a bunch of tabs open a Chromebook may be limited. But still, even building a $300 PC would be cheaper and get the job done for that. The only processing power you need is enough to hold the tabs open. But hey, I guess it's of it's only 2-3 months it's sixes and with the Player 3 PC you get the added benefit of playing some games after a long summer of trading. To each their own, I suppose!
your website is very good
Glad you think so!
So even with the affirm option I won’t be able to own the pc after I pay it off?
with affirm you will pay it off monthly, with flex then you rent it monthly.
Mu 5 year old wants a gaming pc I can purchase him one but I feel like buying one we’ll just not make much sense because I think he won’t have much use for it so do you think this renting option is better for me to try for At least 2 months or should I just buy one straight out?
Please let me know
I don't think a 5 year old will know how to use a pc
@@HyperSniperPlayz i ended up doing this renting method. His birthday is this Tuesdays the 9th. So I’m gonna give it to him then hopefully he learns how to use it so I can end up just buying him one and not rent it anymore.
@@noreason8660 I'm glad you figured it out
No kid that young should be thrown in front of a computer…bad parenting
I’m buying player 3 prime
I’m actually renting out a player 3 pc and my idea of doing this is because I’m slowly getting the money to buy the pc off of the company. You can out right buy the pc off of them when you’re subscribed to them. I’m not gonna keep the subscription for a year actually I’m gonna buy it next month. I can’t open up a credit card or a loan because I’m a minor
They say on website it’s not rent to own though. So how you paying it off?
@@seahawktd5224 you can buy it full off of them
@@seahawktd5224 So let’s say you want the player 3 ($2,300), you make $1200 worth of “rent” payments on it and then let them know you wanna buy it outright and they’ll take whatever rent you’ve payed so far and throw it on so you don’t have to pay the original price.
Are you able to run gta rp with player two ? Or should I get player 3
@@deliciawilson yeah
Honestly I can see this for someone who PC is down and they want to game. Like dead ass I made a back up pc for my main incase there was an issue and I needed to be up while it was down. I.E. the 4090 i had was setting PC on fire shortly before I got mine got a asus TUF 4090 so I’m back up pc I got a Ref 4080. That’s so if I had to get it sent off but say I’m off work or had down time it’s not wasted I can game my ass off rent this sent it back. Other then that maybe your a console gamer and want to see why PC is master race. It’s not totally dumb. College students are another demographic.
Weird service to me. Also, the way i see it if you don't gave goid credit then you could get this. Get the PC you want then let it go to collections. Once its there you can pay them (probably for less) and you keep the PC. Still a weird service if someone kept this for 2 years they still wouldnt own it.
Except they can shut down the pc from their end
@@MentulGG if it's just a program then I'm sure someone could either uninstall it or flash a fresh install of Windows or Linux.
I’d rather save and pay for the PC
second
First!
That was FAST 💨💨💨
Oh great you want us to rent PCs so that PC part makers can take away are freedoms and force us to pay monthly for a PC.
Another scummy live service, but instead of being in the virtual its in reality :P... The only who will end up with this, are people who already don't have the money or credit to buy a PC...
So you don’t pay it off over time? I’m very confused.
I thought the same thing but no, it's literally renting it.
I was trying to buy it but I got rejected twice but I’m thankful I didn’t get it bcuz I’m buying a pc this week coming up and it’s not pay to own so that’s already a red flag
@@opsxSpectic What was the reason you got denied ?
Yeah, that’s dumb. I was interested until I found that out. If you want to keep it, you can’t pay them the rest of the price. You’d have to pay monthly for as long as you have it.
No it’s like a Netflix subscription, or leasing a car
