Everything looses value as soon as it leave the shop.
However to rebuy something. The price will be marked up in order for the shop to make profit.
I tend to treat things for buying and reselling as some do with market shares. Buy low, sell high kinda thing.
I haven't bought a PS5 at all. However my theory is that if the Pro sells well then standard PS5's will probably be traded in and will sell less.
I might get one at the beginning of next year depending on the price.
If your going to sell then go for it. But you won't get much and equally buying it back later for the same if not more because of shop profit.

I sold mine to upgrade my 64gb Steam Deck to an OLED model and fund any PC purchases I wanted to make for this year. It sucked getting rid of all my physical games but I was in a similar boat - Sony had nothing I was interested in that I couldn’t also play on my PC.
I will say I’m gaming more than I did on my PS5 and it’s actually made it really easy to not buy things on launch. And for as powerful as my main rig is with an ultrawide monitor I still end up playing more on my Steam Deck. It’s a significantly better experience than my PS5 had become even with having to forgo physical games.

Buy a ps5 Pro trust me even when the ps6 launches in 3 years the cross gen from this gen to total ps6 will be very long if not forever. Those thinking ps6 will be 400 are going to be in for a real shock. Prices haven’t dropped on ps5 over the years in fact it went up!
That or buy a PC and play constant catchup for twice the cost of consoles. I have both love them both but just prefer the consoles lacking bullshit to game and hour or two.
I’m just saying ps5 games will get much better and a pro will probably be the only real opportunity to maintain 60fps going forward.

Sold my ps5 I needed to pay an insane amount of taxes to the IRS but I would have stuck with the ps5 all gen, Sony is blowing it now with games but the final AAA games always seem to be there.

I know I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum here as a lot of people moving to PC. The PS5 Pro will probably be my main. I’m going to dump my 4090 PC as I just don’t use it / tired of messing around with settings etc. I just want to pick up a controller and have it work. I went back and tried recently to make it work with a wireless KBM to TV but found myself running into the same hiccups as usual. I will take the performance hit in most circumstances for convenience of not sitting at a desk etc.

Kindred spirits I have a 4090 and while games play better I just don’t like constant tweaking and Messing with things with my game time. I’ve tried and there are some genres that are just better pc annd some better on consoles, but I keep going back to consoles. Maybe it’s an older gamer thing

Why do that? You are just rewarding sony by buying it again and it's a waste of money. Just keep it. Also don't you have ps4 games on it too? Or did you keep your ps4?
I have 100s of ps4 games on my ps5. I also have 100s of switch and 1000+ pc games, and 60+xbox games. Point is I have a ton of games from buying them when they are on sale. That makes the backlog huge. Even if I don't buy a single ps5 game going forward I still have a ton to play. Also being married and having other hobbies shrinks your game time down between work and everything else.
Also--- why are you only focusing on ps5 1st party games. Astrobot was great and made me miss old Sony and a ton of great games, but many of them were 3rd party, and some of them are on ps5 (although they really should release all the ps1 games they had on ps3/vita , don't know why they are holding back on that. )
Did you play, Robocop, Dead space remake, Dead island 2, dragons dogma 2, calisto, Y's 9, Disgaea 7, re4 remake, cyberpunk, no mans sky, bg3, armored core 6, elden ring, demons souls, stellar blade, rise of ronin, visions of mana, hogawarts legacy?
Thats a lot of games, not counting indies that could be played. They aren't on the switch (my preferred platform). PS5 is much more than horizon or tlou. You wouldn't think so with state of plays or what not but its really more than that.
plus like I said the entire ps4 library.

What else you have apart from Switch?
I mean you need at least 1 system apart from Nintendo system. Droughts can be real there.

Just play third party games.
Gaming is better than its ever been, just not when it comes to the publishers/studios you relied on in the past.
We have access to everything now. The supply is endless.

Any sports title. In fact half the sports don’t even appear on pc anymore.

I'm buying Mechwarrior 5: Clans and Y's Nordics next month on Steam. The difference will go towards Avowed in February. As for the Nintendo credit, that will be put towards Super Switch launch titles. Pretty good haul for a worthless system I wasn't even using.

Why do people do this all the time? Create pity threads when they're leaving the ecosystem, or leaving the forums for good etc.

Ps5 is a decent platform if you are going to use it as your main gaming device and play a mixture of third and first party games.
As a box to ONLY play first party exclusives on it's not really worth it IMO. The Sony first party output this gen has been pretty meh, they only release a couple of games a year and most of them will come to PC later anyway.

You also add the randomess of wear and tear and heat damage and treatment, it becomes more risky too, as well as SSD lifespan still being a bit of a question mark. Add possible inflation and yeah it’s really not going to save you any money….it’s a good choice if you really need money right now, don’t need to use it but still want it back; but in that case you could also just pawn it.

Why not? My PS5 is my main gaming platform so i'm here to stay but if you don't actually play it then sell it, you can always take several loans and get a Pro later on.

All the retro consoles, switch Xbox series S ps5 and a PC which I don’t game on. I’m one of those psychopaths that plays a new game here and there, but always keeps replaying my favorites like uncharted metal gear Zelda Mario Halo classic resident evil god of war three etc.

The reason I made this thread is because I love gaming, and I want to be persuaded to keep it. I hate feeling like this and just want people who are excited about the PS5 to tell me why so I can get on the muthafukin hype train.

Go for it if thats what you want but personally, why bother if your only gonna buy it again later? Just keep it. I doubt you'll be saving much, maybe evem nothing at all because we might not get any price cuts. You might even have to pay more with the way sony are rolling these days.

We are still getting plenty of great 3rd party games even if Sony’s first party don’t deliver.
This gen I’m playing more 3rd party than I did with Sony first party.

Quit being a lazy ass who asks a forum these trivial questions.
One way is to be a man and an adult and continue to be a man. Never give up. Tweet about it too. Let the emotions go.

This. This reminds me of when I worked at GameStop. There was a guy who came in and sold his entire collection (360 and games). He was going on and on about how he was “done” and “stop playing games”. I don’t know if he just needed someone to listen to him? He didn’t get much cash for what he sold. Some time past and he was back. He came back with someone else and they were buying games.
I don’t get it and I don’t think I ever want to get it. I just recently customized my welcome screen and home icons.
As kids, we didn’t do this. That console could sit for months. We’d find something eventually. A guy who owns a mom and pop game store here in town told me it’s expected, especially when people need to pay rent or something else.

That’s right listen to this cute doggo. It knows what’s up.
But yeah hold on to it and wait until something comes out that you want to play.
As for a price drop? You might be waiting until next gen for that unfortunately.

Unless you have a PC, PS5 can play all PS4 and current gen games plus some PS1 and PS2 titles.
Even if there is not that much coming in from Sony that you are interested in, there are thousands of games to play still.
Personally I have a PC (and XSX for mainly BC), and I am not really looking forward to much from Sony 1st party, it there are so many games I can still play from PS4 AND PS5 era (some games I prefer on console for some weird reasons, lol), that there is no way I would want to sell PS5. Heck I would not even sell XSX due to OG Xbox, 360 BC and bunch of titles I have from Xbone era.

I sold mine a few months ago and bought a steam deck. I played more on the SD in 2 months than I did on PS5 for a year. I'll just wait for PS6 when all these uber games finally come out because this drip feed of cross-gen games that are all the same was enough for me.

I think you should go for whatever makes you happy. That said i will never understand why people sell consoles only to buy them again in a year or two. Specially in a time these things don’t go down in price.
