      recently a friend managed to snag a perfectly fine used ps5 for 200€. i think that’s a really nice price. buying used is just pretty epic for a lot of product categories.

          sure, but knowing the market for computers and computer parts there’s no way sony will offer a better deal in the first few years. also there won’t be many exclusive titles for the ps6, if any, especially not in the first few years.

      Only use-case I’ve had for rental was when I was at a military school for five months. My roommate and I needed a TV in our barracks room, but there wasn’t much point in buying a TV (each of us had TVs back home), so we rented one for five months. It was great. One of us also bought a Wii (dating myself here), so it was a great time.

      That’s about the only case I can think of renting furniture/appliances. If you are temporarily someplace and can’t thrift an item at a reasonable price.
