      realism is a red herring here. what matters is that the graphics and game play support each other and things be interactive regardless of art style. but they dont do that anymore and give us a stage that looks real but everything is glued together and is completely dysfunctional . realism can look good too if they dont crap all over it by making things ugly.

      Because sales tax in the US varies from 0% to 13.5% depending on which State/municipality you buy in.
      Also it's actually impossible for a customer to calculate a Value Added Tax because it isn't just a percentage of the price. It's a percentage of the increase in value over the previous form of the product (which is not clearly communicated to the customer). If those countries had a sales tax they very well might just leave it to the customers to work out for themselves. It's not like people who do live in an area with a sales tax are actually surprised by the tax.

    For the price of a PS5 Pro + the other stuff you need to make it complete you're better off saving up for a PC.
    Your accessories will always be compatible with any other PC or steam deck or laptop or whatever. There's no online fees. There's no backward compatibility because you just play just about EVERYTHING that's come out. If it doesn't work? There's probably a mod- if you don't wanna mod? Then play one of the 50,000 other games you can play.
    I loved consoles, loved them. Drop the game into the drive and you're playing. No PC BS of having to adjust settings or downloading patches or whatever. You just game. It was nice. Then you started needing to download updates for your game and your console. Oh now you gotta install the game.
    I still loved playing my PS3 but I realized I was bailing to PC that gen. In the time it took to download an update for the PS3 and my game? I could download a full game on PC. (obviously I wasn't testing at the same time) The simplicity and quick go n' game of console was going away fast.
    Now games launch broken for days or weeks. And yes that happens on all platforms but at least on PC I can either get a refund or adjust settings till they fix performance or whatever. Also making art and whatever else on my PC helps a lot too.
    Upgrading in increments when you need instead of spending a boat load every gen is nice and also- you can buy controllers with hall effect sticks on PC and not get stick drift. Unlike Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. And there's affordable controllers that are good like 8bitdo. $50 for a controller with hall effect sticks and grip buttons or $70 for a controller that's going to fail in a year or so.

    12:16 the console is more expensive everywhere actually. I live in Canada, the base PS5 Pro is costing us $960 WITHOUT TAX or ANYTHING else. I did the calculations when they first announced it two weeks ago, including the price of the disc drive in Canada ($100), and the vertical stand ($40), plus the 15% tax rate in Ontario (most populated province in Canada, and my home province), it totals to approx. $1,243 CAD. When you convert that to American, it's just over $922 USD, even though American you'd only be paying roughly $820 USD for the same list of items. So, their charging us an extra $100 in Canada with everything included, and even just the console by itself, no tax calculations, disc drive or stand, we're still being charged $20 more than the US. Sony hates everyone.
