Just a quick follow-up:
The cheapest PS5 is $599. Playstation Plus is $79.99 per year for the cheapest tier, and that is the only way you can play games online.
If you pay yearly for Playstation Plus your 5 year total cost of ownership is: $998.95
If you pay per-quarter for Playstation Plus your 5 year TCO is: $1158.80
If you pay per-month for Playstation Plus your 5 year TCO is: $1258.40
This all assumes Playsation Plus doesn't increase in price in the next 5 years.

@fancysandwiches@neuromatch.social Not to veer too far off-topic, but I bought a PS5 motherboard + GPU combo (Asrock BC-250) for $150 on eBay last week and spent $50 on a power supply to have a working Steam Machine running Bazite. I'm only a day into it, but it's way better than my Steak Deck was (which is now broken.)
