With the current prices of PCs it seems that PS5 is a better investment. But I looked at the prices of PS5 now and it is not available anywhere. The places that do sell them, they sell it at around $1300. Is the Pro really worth it at this point?

No.

No and no. Even if you don't plan to recuperate the expense by pirating games - something that is easier on PC than console - Steam and GOG sales are frequent and prices get significantly lower. Don't throw money at a company that attempts to give you nothing in return.

I agree with this as well. Due to pricing it’s temping, but at $1330 for the pro, you could probably put together a pc that’s comparable.

I’m waiting until gta 6 releases on Pc before I upgrade my system just in case it won’t work on Linux or its needs an insane gpu to function.

I’m also betting the pc release is being rushed and will be pretty buggy at launch.

Also, if online play is something you care about at all, PC is the only platform that doesn't lock it behind a blatant scam fee.
