Should I buy PS5?

I’ll give a counter point though.
I bought it because I loved gaming as a kid up until college.

Then years went into college, job, hard work.

Now the job is demanding and I come back home to see the PS5 lying there and me having very little time to really complete any game

Even when I start something on the weekend, I quickly get bored because I know I’ll probably never get to complete it

P.S: This is just a me problem though. If you have time, go for it. It’s anyway good to have the option :)

I can relate to your situation. I always wanted to buy an iPod touch, and when I finally bought it, I got bored with it within six months. It's just been sitting in my drawer ever since. However, I also purchased a PS4 Pro, and I've been kind of hooked on it. After coming home from work, I sometimes fire it up and enjoy it, forgetting about the problems of the outside world.

That's why we earn dude!
Go for it.

You should go for it. Buy Ghost of Tsushima and see your life change for good.

If you are into gaming then worth buying. I think I understand where you are coming from. You want to buy but need validation from others to justify the impulse buying.

Anyways I bought it in Jan and spend a decent amount of time there. Also you should note that for consoles you need to pay for games. Eg a new release costs around 4.5-5K for PS5. Also make sure you have a tv that can support the ps5 otherwise doesnt make sense to buy console alone.

I bought sony bravia A80L and ps5 together. It costed me around 1.9L after discounts etc.

PS Dont buy it just play FIFA or NFS.

Buy it! Or else you can purchase nintendo switch oled. I was planning to purchase ps5/seriesX but then i decided switchOLED.
And its amazing!
Handheld games are great. And games like wolfenstein 2 new colossus, doom eternal look amazing when u dock the switch to tv. You wont believe its running on switch.

I will quote UIC -

"if you don't need, you don't buy"

A grown man asking "Should i buy PS5" to anonymous strangers online... man shut up already and do whatever you want

Many times when we are kids we don’t always get what we want. We make up scenarios in mind that what if we buy it later when we grow up we will have so much fun. So it maybe hyped up in your brain.

However, the regret of not buying will be more than of buying. Even I got a iPad that I just use now to watch movies,to series etc but during WFH it is 10hr daily usage so I think I have sucked out all the money from it. I also wanted to buy PS5 but my circumstances are unsure for next few months so I have postponed it else, I would have definitely bought it.

For PS5 you need to spend dedicated time in playing the game, it can be a background task. You will also then want to buy a Big screen/Tv for the experience and a decent soundbar unless you like headphones.

Every games is like 2k-3k, but people get secondhand CDs for games so maybe you can get it the same way or buy latest game and sell it as soon you are done playing.

In the end what question you should ask is: Does my regret of owning a PS5 supersedes my wish to own one since childhood?

If not, then go ahead and buy because you can afford it. But do remember, this might soon become a habit and there will always be the next thing to buy, so don’t make it a habit.

Do learn not to fall into temptations for the next new thing that comes in market. But since this was what you wanted since childhood, you can allow yourself this one time.

Buy only if you have time to invest on it or else it would turn out to be same as the iPad . I regret buying my ps4 . Hardly I get time once in a month to play . It could be only me through but please don't but try renting to gauge on ur time investment.
