The price tag, especially when you consider that the console has reached the end of its life cycle and that you can build a PC (without spending money on a monitor; to be honest, I considered it; build a PC, buy a gamepad, connect it to a TV set, and play) that will provide a higher quality picture and more frames per second for the same amount of money. In my opinion, the PS4 Pro should be 20,000 dollars by now, but alas, it seems to be a dud.
After only a week of being married to the gamepad (a common mistake, if Google is to be believed), it cracked from the vibrations. There's something wrong with this motor, and repairing it would require taking apart the controller, which isn't guaranteed to work. I gave it away under warranty, assuming it would be replaced without inquiry because anyone with even a modicum of intelligence can spot this flaw, and only experts should be working there anyhow. It turns out that the grace period for consumer protection when making an online payment is only a week, not two, and I missed it. What a pain, they grabbed my gamepad and shipped it off to Hong Kong without telling me how long the wait would be. And the gamepad is sitting idle as the console collects dust. If I spend $5,000 on a new one, I'll officially be a sucker in the town square. I get that I just had bad luck and everyone else is doing OK. But this is just so ludicrous. I take this as divine intervention to return to the ranks of the PC boyars.
