$700, but I agree that this was a stupid product. If instead, they introduced the slim at $350 and the pro at $500, these things would be hard to find on store shelves.
Comment on PS5 Pro sales ‘have fallen behind PS4 Pro in the US

Shocking. When your entire customer base asks “why?” When you announce a product that’s usually a good indicator. Also wasn’t it like 800 dollars?

I wouldn’t know…I stopped falling for the console trap after PS3. Only thing since was a PS4 controller, for my PC

I wouldn't really call it a "trap". If you're buying a console when it's new at full price, sure, you're being taken for a ride, but give it a couple of years for stuff to be cheaper and it can work out reasonably well.
I used to be a major PC gamer but eventually the cost/benefit calculation went completely off the rails.

It’s surprising how well the Steam Deck plays new games and how much support has been added to older games for something with a form factor similar to the Switch and a price point that is lower than most computers or consoles with similar capabilities. It’s a big change to the cost/benefit calculation.

The Steam Deck is a PC. The most console-like PC experience you can get, but still a PC.

After my PS3 got the YLOD, I considered about purchasing a PS4, and then I thought: I would have to start from zero since it doesn’t have backwards compatibility. So, I went back to PC and my whole catalogue was there waiting for me. They are indeed a trap.

This reminds me of the Q&A section on Amazon product pages where someone will answer a question stating that they don’t know because they didn’t buy the item.
