Or just... don't buy consoles at all. Buy a mini PC (which you can upgrade too) or wait for the Steam Cube? Which would both be cheaper in the long run. Because why still funnel money into a company that seems to be adamant that it owns that machine (and lets be honest, could try and use any kind of kill switch or safeguard to stop you from doing so) and will wield your money as a weapon against you.

It's like soliciting a stalker because you enjoy receiving random gifts in the mail with totally no strings attached.

    PCs with a GPU and CPU comparable to a PS5 are much more expensive than they should be.

    GPU prices finally dropped to MSRP for about a month or two before prices skyrocketed on RAM and other components will also go through the roof.

    There's truth to that currently yeah. I think my points still stand as well though, and in the long run you will still be out worse even if the upfront cost is currently cheaper. It also just seems contrary to the free and open nature of Linux, but if you don't already own something you can upgrade and are currently strapped for cash, fair enough. But that's also not going to change if you sink 400-500 dollars into it and that's your budget for the next 5 years.
