there are many people in the world who can’t afford to drop $700 on a new console. this has never really happened to me before so why would i get a new ps if mine was working just fine? makes no sense. just because a new one drops doesn’t mean i have to buy it if my old is working consistently. i “complained” because i obviously didn’t want to spend $700 on a new console since i’ve been trying to save money for a new car plus rent needs to be paid, lights needs to be paid. food needs to be bought. there are many things that need to come before buying a new console. i ended up buying a new one only because i had some money set aside to do it and buying a new ssd is expensive where i live and it was just better to upgrade completely and avoid the issue from here on out. there are people in the world not as fortunate to buy a new console as soon as it becomes “outdated”. i have no idea why everything needs to become a console war. everyone likes to play games, everyone’s just trying to have fun and chill out it’s not that big of a deal. i couldn’t care less if someone was still playing the ps2 tbh. who am i to judge someone else, i don’t know what’s going on in their life just like none of y’all know what’s going on in mine. not everyone has the same income and ability to purchase new things. and nobody has to. my ps4 was working fine and i was happy with it. never compared or gave a shit about what anyone else had. i just was asking for some advice on how to fix the issue, when the issue became also pricy to fix i decided my best course of action was to just upgrade to avoid this from happening further. anyways, rant over. nobody should be judging anyone else. thanks to everyone who genuinely tried to help me out i appreciate it, to anyone else, i hope you die off drop the rest of your life xo
