  Why not? Like I said the certified refurbished directly from Sony is $350. Plenty of listings up right now for $285-330

  But even if we compare new consoles to used PCs I think the conclusion is the same

    Show me those listings lol I’ll buy one right now. And “well below” $300 is not $285-$330 dude. I could see $300-$325 refurbished but sub-$300? Rare rare find. Certainly not from a reputable vendor, that’s buying from an individual if you can even find that.

      You’re equivocating. In that instance I am responding directly to your claim that it’s far fetched to find a used one around the $300 point.

      You’ll notice when you quoted me you also excluded the word “dips”. It’s dishonest for you frame my position as misrepresentative of the market by presenting my numbers without the couching I presented them with.

      And why do you want to quibble over $50 when it doesn’t affect the discussion at all? Let’s just work with the higher prices, or even the brand new prices for that matter

        I didn’t say that man. I think this is also needlessly escalating. Yes consoles are often the more economical choice, no I do not think the prices you are saying you can find refurbished digital PS5’s at are reasonable, especially not with a controller. But ultimately none of this is that high stakes. Agree to disagree.

        That being said if you do have a $285-$330 refurbished PS5 listing you know about I genuinely want to see it for my own purchase lol
