I kinda dislike this excuse for the higher prices these days.
While it was pretty valid for the PS3 era and before, the PS4 and the PS5 have both been sold at profit well within the first year. This is just a console tax to make more money from people.

PS4 - 6 months to be profitable
PS5 - 8 months to be profitable(despite the chip shortages as well).
So quick break down is:
OS and programs on NVME 1, this also includes gamepass games. NVME 2 is Steam games and other launchers that might be installed.
HDD1 is downloads, pictures, music and documents, HDD2 is Videos.
My PC has 4TB of NVME storage(2 drives), and then 8TB of HDD space(another 2 drives).
Games, and actual used stuff all live on the NVMEs, with things like Pictures and Videos stored on the HDDs. Plenty of space to never have to really think about what to keep installed.
I also have a 512GB Steam Deck, which also has a 256GB SD Card in it. My Switch also has a 256GB SD card in it as well.
So you think they should pay more than twice as much than they currently are?
Madden isnt worth $70 a year. Let alone the $156 you seem to be suggesting.
What would you say is a good price for this new subscription? $6 a month?
Closer to the Edge - Available on youtube for free, and is a glimpse inside the madness of the Isle of Man TT. I am not a huge fan of motorsports, but this is a fantastic and epic watch that follows a bunch of rides in the run up and through the TT.
Eh, I don’t like the idea of getting rid of my smart phone. But I did get rid of all the shit I didnt actually like. I use my phone for Music, maps, the camera, messaging a few people, and a few other things. I got rid of all the crap social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, even reddit(and have not put a lemmy/kbin app on there to replace it), there is not shit mobile games installed. Just does what I need it to do, and doesnt constantly bug me about Person X and what they had for lunch.
However, if I ditched the smart phone, I would need a phone still, but then I still need the MP3 player, a camera. And I would much rather have 1 bit of kit that does all that well, than 3 items.
