One of my close friends decided that she’s no longer enjoying games so she offered to sell it to me for really cheap (100$). I love gaming but since I switched to Mac a few years ago my choices have been very limited. I’ve been mostly playing indie games that are available on Mac. So I’ve been thinking about her offer.
The price sounds amazing but I’m not sure if it’s still worth it considering the PS5 has been out for a good few years now. What do you guys think? Should I take it off her hands or should I save for a PS5 or an Xbox instead?
My main monitor is 1080p 75Hz by the way (Acer KG221Q). So buying a new generation console would mean that I might have to upgrade my monitor as well.
Edit to add: A new PS5 would cost 7 times as much in my country. That’s also another thing to consider.
Funnily enough, I have another friend that wants to sell his Series S and switch to PlayStation. A while ago he said he’s willing to sell it for 200 bucks. But I had have heard so many negative things about the Series S I kindly rejected his offer. Negative things such as how most games are capped at 30 fps, how the games look blurry, how it’s holding back the quality games that would have been developed if it didn’t exist etc. I can ask him if he’s still looking for a buyer actually, but again, I don’t know if the Series S is a good console. It certainly doesn’t seem to have the reputation PS4 has.
