if only this thing wasn't a terribly built POS, so you can actually get one that just works, or works at all... so sexy, yet so flawed...

and so many different versions (though albeit, not massive differences)

never had one, want one, will have one... probably need many

Gaming has become expensive. Now even some plastic covers cost $85

I've come to terms with the PS5 being the ugliest piece of tech I'll ever own a while ago.

It really is hideous, I dunno what they were smoking.

Thought this was going to be about the dev kits.

Now that's a V!

Sad when the weird dev kit is better looking than the final design.

The PS5 with black faceplates looks much better. Still don't like the weird design, and required stand, but it blends with the other things under my tv better after that change.

$85 is too steep in my opinion
If it's lower I will try to trade the shape of "room purifier looks" of PS5 to at least more simple like that shape above

The plates are an Xbox. Jokes aside I like this look.

One of the most beautiful PCs ever made, imho.

Yeah i wrote that originally but isn't an only used after a vowel?

Yeah i wrote that originally but isn't an only used after a vowel?

an is used if the next word starts with a vowel sound.

Xbox is pronounced ex-box, so it starts with a vowel sound.
just like hour has a silent h and starts with a vowel sound, even tho it is spelled with an h. so you'd also write "an hour". and you probably also noticed that I wrote "an h", since the letter h is pronounced "age".

a counterexample, where the following word is spelled with a vowel, but pronounced with a consonant sound first, would be something like "US citizen". US is pronounced you es, meaning it starts with a consonant sound. which means you'd write "a US citizen".
even spelled out the word United still starts with a consonant sound, so "a United States citizen" would be correct.

a vs an is 100% based on the pronunciation alone.
example sentence: "I am meeting a United States representative in an hour"
