It all depends on what my income would be in that scenario. If a 3k PS5 meant that no one was being exploited (I'm a blue collar laborer so that means me too) then possibly our incomes would be such that 3k doesn't seem so bad.
A friend of mine works for Intel and makes a fuckton of money so he bought a $5k couch. I'd never in my wildest dreams buy a couch that expensive, but if my income was like his I might think about it different.
My point was more that things lead by committees are much less likely to give the O.K to have labor diverted to the production of "Fun Toy" that people do really want because it's not a necessity and there's no benefit to society other than temporary entertainment.
