When Sony announced the $700 PS5 Pro, the company reignited debates between PC and console gamers.
That’s truer thanks to a $100 discount.

A gaming PC is a better bargain than a PS5, especially when you can find a PC at a discount.
Sony is charging $30 for a stand for the PS5 Pro.
Each of the gaming PCs highlighted here can stand up without additional hardware.
A disc drive for the PS5 Pro also costs $80.

That price doesn’t account for the fact that PC games are often discounted more heavily than console games.
Of course, there are ways that a console is better than a gaming PC.
If PC gaming were universally better than console gaming, consoles wouldn’t be so popular.

Cross play across platforms exists for some titles but is far from universal.
The elephant in the room, as is often the case when comparing PlayStation with anything, is games.
