Are Video Games Getting Too Expensive?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's going on our freaks and geeks. Tonight we hear
me and Dimitris here with an interesting but very concerning
conversation about something we all love. It's our stress believer,
it's our downtime. It's kids became as a collective to
play them. The video game industry, the console wars. They

(00:24):
used to be console wars. Now it's not a war
anymore because everything is on the same playing levels. But
tonight we are gonna focus on video games, prices for
consoles games. Is everything over priced looking back to when
we was kids or is it just because now we're
adults and we're paying for these games? Is that why

(00:47):
we have the problem. We're just gonna break it down,
do a deep dive, have a little little discussion. Nothing
too crazy, nothing too political, just you know, too nerd
to love video game And who's been playing I know
for me, I've been playing games since I was five.
I'm pretty sure Demetris to, and so we grew up

(01:08):
with handhelds to come. So just a little concern because
now we make a lot of hard earned money and
the one thing we go we used to go to
to like this bousa. It's breaking our pockets, especially if
we chose the one. We chose to talk about this
subject too, because right now video games that this real

(01:29):
weird place. We're getting a lot of new releases, but
a lot of them are either remasters, a continuation of
a franchise that's been around, that's been baking for years
on people. For me, I play some sports games, and
the whole thing with the Michael transactions. So it's a
lot of things that go on and go into this,

(01:50):
this whole conversation. So we just it's just like an
open mic. We're just talking, sending back like we're on
the couch, just having a discussion. So the first thing
I want to just bring the attention is because Demetris
came up with his idea. Demetris, tell the people why
this hit you so hard? And it's a particular game

(02:12):
that just released and the system that it released for.
Tell them why you came to me with this idea.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Bro. So I don't think Pokemon fan, so everybody who
knows the Pokemon via controversy get come in. But so
I was excited to get this game and easily Pokemon
games like they're not that expensive, like they might be
moderate with other consoles like fifty sixty around that frame,

(02:39):
and it's because Pokemon has new Pokemon every main game
or whatever. I'm like, Okay, I'm getting new stuff and
that's cool to play, and I'm cool with forty to
fifty dollars whatever it is. But because they decided to
drop this with around the switch too, they thought that
they were they thought they were clever with this, and
they said, we're gonna make it switch one seventy bucks

(03:03):
out the door. Seventy bucks. That's not even including the
thirty dollars DLC that they confirm I think today that
it is thirty dollars, and then not even including that.
They put some of the mega evolutions behind them behind
the online play, but you got to play the ring
stuff to get the Callos mega evolutions, which I was
excited for because I like them. But and then I sad.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Quick, real quick, yeah, because I just had to look
up something just to like the people out there who's listening.
So you said, how.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Much was the DLC thirty bucks?

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Thirty bucks? Right? So let me see what year was this.
I want to say ninety four or something like that.
I can't remember the exact year. Hold on, give me
one second, thirty bucks and just see ninety six. So
almost thirty years ago, Red, Blue, and Yellow came out

(03:59):
the price, well that as a brand new game almost
thirty years ago with thirty bucks, and now I'm freaking
DLC and were talking about the full game with all
the bells and whistles, and now a DLC is thirty bucks.
That's crazy. Wow. I had to look that up because
I was like, bro, if the game thirty years ago

(04:22):
was the same prices as a DLC, Wow, bro, But
go ahead. I'm sorry. I just had to throw that
in there. Now.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I'm like, now, I'm just like, that's wild. But also
when you like, I don't think they're And I talked
to other people. I talked to Josh and the group
chat about this, but there ain't no Nintendo gave us
worth seventy eighty dollars out there over there.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
All they're doing is putting out the same game Mario Kart,
Legend of Zell, the Pokemon. What's the other one they
always put out? They don't they have Sonic now too.
They don't do a Sonic game, right, No, Metroit, that's right.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
And then now they have that Donkey Kong out, y'all
make a game seventy bucks that we've been playing for
like our whole.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Life, y'all just making a new version of them or
a new whatever, new maps, the new world, adding characters.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
And here's the thing. If this game was like forty bucks,
I say fifty, I'll stretching it with fifty. I wouldn't
be that mad, because, look, you don't play a Pokemon
game for the graphics, but seventy dollars, that motherfucker better
look prestige, you know what I mean. Not to bring
up the other controversy, but when you compare it to

(05:43):
let's say Digi Line, it's around the same price, round
the same as the story game. I'm getting better quality
over here from a game that I'm paying seventy bucks
for or whatever however it is. It's like fifty fifty
seventy something around there. I don't know, I don't hear
about it. But not only is that, but like you
make a new mechanic for a game that is turn base.

(06:07):
That's a whole other conversation. That's not even the pricing.
But say a Pokemon game thirty years ago with thirty bucks,
the whole entire game, the whole game, and now we're
paying Let's say, let me do the math here. Let's
say you're doing it for this one person. Let's just
do it like that seventy dollars for that thirty dollars,

(06:28):
that's one hundred dollars orth there, and then the twenty
dollars for the online I think it's twenty dollars for
the online Nintendo Online stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
And then we ain't even talking about the console itself.
We're not talking about the console. Is with the whole
like packaging with the game.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Let's talk about the console. Do you know these guys
have the audacity and these guys intend though, have the
audacity to show a thigh by thigh comparison a Pokemon
on the switch and Pokemon a twitch to and I
kid you not, it wasn't that it was not that
big of a deal.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
But the same thing with the PlayStation five. In the
PlayStation five pro, y'all want to show me the side
by side and be like, oh, yeah, look at the grass,
the blades of grass actually blowing. The wing just come
off of them and the sweat dripped down and going
to the mouth, and they go like, bro, it's the
same game. It's gonna play the same. The graphics can't

(07:28):
get no better. I'm not trying to sit there and
play a game where I feel like I'm looking at
myself for real. No, I don't play video games for graphics.
I play video games but escapism just like I do
it movies, Like, we don't need all that.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
It's the guy, one of the guys that from the
Who's developer I think the place is six is like
he admitted that he couldn't tell the difference between the
graphics anymore. I think I said that share that guys
with you that we did and I'm just literally can't
tell the difference. And I'm like, what are we doing here?
I'm paying for a new system, right, I'm paying out
the box and say, at this point in time, the
systems are like eight hundred nine hundred bucks or something

(08:05):
like that, a grand or something like that. No, the
Xbox portable thing is a grand. The little new portable
thing they have for the Xbox confortable controller thing they
have is a grand. And I'm like, at what point
in time have we and I understand why the games
are expensive because we live in a system that have
to make them more expensive and.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
That's right now, expecially right now. But that of what
we just said, it's all the same exactly.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
This used to be something that you know, we played
as kids. We could afford, our parents could afford to
get us these games. Now, bro, look, I don't know
who's pair whose parent got seventy dollars per kid, because
nowadays they got you got at least a couple of
brothers than saying everybody all that game exactly seventy for

(08:57):
a game.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
That man, it's the fact that I looked up the
price for a Nintendo like an intended regular Nintendo game
or just a game period thirty years ago, and it
was it was it said the price rang was from
forty to sixty, which is an equivalent now of one
hundred dollars in this like in our time. And I'm

(09:22):
just like, that's so wild, bro, because they're not lies.
You even though the game is like seventy nine dollars,
It's like, you still that's what you're really paying because
you got to tax the if you're getting it online
or if you're going to pick it up, like, it's
always something that adds to it to make it more
than that seventy dollars. So I'm just like, Bro, we
really paying like an army leg for a game. But

(09:44):
back in the day, for seventy bucks, you could go
on games Stop back in the day and come out
about four games and one of them will be a
new release. Just it's crazy. And even with the consoles, Bro,
So I'm really about to psych you out right here
because you brought up the how much like how the
coffles like the prices, So I did so with Nintendo.

(10:08):
The reason why I did the sixty four is because
from PlayStation and Xbox, I went by their first release
and the sixty four was like the newest one at
that time. A Nintendo sixty four that came out alost
thirty years ago, ninety sixes Won two ninety nine, the

(10:30):
original Xbox two ninety nine, all of those systems have
went up about three to four hundred dollars from the
original from the first one you got. And this is
just a standard versions. We talking about getting the one
tearbyt more gigs, or you want all the bells and whistles,

(10:54):
or if you got a game, you want to get
the release with the game. This is just the standard
edition price to switch to four ninety nine. The PS
five five ninety nine xby c X is fort ninety nine.
So that's what five hundred and six hundred. No I
said the PS five Pro because that's the newest one.

(11:15):
It's out, the PS five Pro, that's six hundred dollars.
Switch to five hundred xby series X five hundred and
like I said, we're talking about straight up standard because
I know a lot of places to get it, like
refurbished from games stole roll back like wild Monty Tarp.
But were talking about brand news straight up that's crazy.

(11:36):
And then like I said, if you want like the
one TERRORBYT you throwing another hundred on that for more
memory to play more games, you gotta pay more. So
it's just, man, it's really depressing because I love video games,
but I can't afford them all the time. I ain't
have to wait till they have a big flash self

(11:58):
or the game stop has like the games, the pre games,
and it's like, why do I have to put myself
something that I enjoyed?

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Man, Look, it's gotten so bad that like I'll replay
games I played four or five times just because I
know that I can play something and I do only
to mention like just how expensive, like getting a PS
five was when it first came out, Like when the
PS five came out, that thing not only could you
not find them, that's a whole other conversation, but when

(12:30):
you could, it was an arm in la to get it.
I still have a PS five because it's still too expensive.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
My remaster is I'm not gonna pay.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
I'm not gonna look. The PS four has like thousands
of games on it right, Like we've had it around
for seven years before the PS five came around and
a PS five come round, and most of them are remastered.
They just remastered last for Master, like every couple.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Of years on it uncharted, He's getting remastered. They remastered
freaking spider Man. The Spider Man game. They remastered. By
the way, speaking of remastered, I just saw a conversion
the other day for remaster of Halo, the first Halo,
and I'm like, then, y'all already remastered, like y'all did

(13:25):
a whole like they did, because I have it on
my my Xbox. They did a whole remaster re release
of one through four, and I'm like, bro, y'all just
did this. Why y'all doing I even win. It look
to see like the top. Let me see one. We

(13:45):
need one one Halo, the one I'm talking about, remake, GTA,
Resident Evils, Fable, all games that are either re remastered
or franchise has been around and trying to do a
follow up, a prequel, sequel, or continuation. The only new
games Wolverine Double at Bou seven. Like GTA, they've been

(14:09):
milking GTA five for twenty oft feel like almost feels
like twenty years. But were paying the price. We paid
the price for these games, but we're not getting like
fresh ideas. We're not getting new stores, and the ones
we get we have to wait, damn there five years
to get the next game. What's the one we were

(14:30):
talking We were just talking about one the other day.
I can't remember what it was. Oh like Those of Tushima. Yeah,
look how it took to do that sequel. We get it,
Like you said, we get a Last of US remasters
every year, uncharged every years.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
But I don't know, and I think I wouldn't be
as now. I still be mad about it. The price
is I'm not gonna lie to you.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
But they like.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
What makes it Madden is you want us to pay
all this money for you to just do your master
the same games every year and charge them sixty seventy dollars.
Like back on the ten Tendo's joy Con or their controller,
things are like or sixty seventy dollars or something like that.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Control.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
I mean, look right now, the controller.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
You way off because of PlayStation man's back controller like
seventy bus Now geez.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
I'm like, I'm at a point where because I think
back when the Switch one was, I think the joy
Con if you want a new joy Con controllernying that
things were eighty bucks at that point in time. But
back at the Switch one, and as you can tell,
I only got one pay different pair of switch controllers
because I ain't paying for a different color control of
seventy eighty dollars for another controller. It's wild. Oh but

(15:59):
I don't know. I think the game should be cheaper
because look at this, Look at where we're at, Look
how money is right now. Look at I said, I
wouldn't be politician, but I'm going to look at the
way that society is going right now. We don't like
people don't have the money to be throwing into into
his games and stuff like that. I'm being I'm being

(16:21):
priced out technically, but I ran a comment and this
thing was so toned that they were like, oh, why
don't you just work overtime one day and you get
enough money for that. I'm like, that ain't the point,
that's not it.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
We got we got vehicles, we drive that we gotta
take care of. We gotta put clothes on our back, food,
and I barely's like it's just like like, oh yeah,
if I work over time, I'll be able to afford
this game. That's crazy, bro, that you just that's but azy.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Defending paying eighty dollars for sorry seventy y'all for a
Pokemon or a Donkey Kong game is ridiculous. You should
be games should be cheaper. I don't think anybody should
be defending these companies like putting out these expensive game.
I don't think there should be a person out.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
There plowr mind the usual. All right, So back when
like EA sports was like the top of the sports
game and they was making basketball and football. Two K
had been making sports games for a while, but there's
this stuff because it wasn't as popular as like the

(17:33):
EA game. So one year they had partner with ESPN
and they had a two K five football and basketball. Yeah,
the game was twenty bucks man, and this is PlayStation
two in Xbox, the first Xbox. It's not like PlayStation

(17:56):
one that this is the second generation and it was
twenty bucks two K two K. Now the basketball game
is seventy bucks.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
But to the two K community, what I say you're
getting the only thing you're getting new is let's say
new rosters or whatever.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
But the rookie, I think, and whatever team is up,
it's you literally getting to pack their package in the
same game every year, and you're doing the Michael. They
get them with the part, my part and the Michael transactions.
That's how they getting them. Bro. It's so crazy because
it's almost like it blinds people because they literally don't

(18:40):
see that the game is the same. They just promising y'all,
giving y'all something new every year, say oh it's update. This,
here goes a patch. The fact that you get the
game and a patch comes out within a few months
or weeks after the game just released to tell you
that they already had just prepared in their mind to say, yeah,

(19:00):
we did we hooked them, we got them. Now. I
don't know it. But when I bought it, it was
on fail for thirty forty bucks and I haven't even
played it check. But I'm like, if I'm gonna get it,
this is the time to get it, because I'm not
paying seventy bucks for a game that's the same, repackaged, repackaged.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
I have a problem with DLCs just in general, or
like patches and stuff like that. You gotta you have
to pay for whatever, because just put it in the
full game. Just give me the full game. I don't
need a DLC unless you are going to add a
whole new story to the game, that continuation.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
That's what I liked about that first Spider Man. Remember
when they dropped all the DLCs. Yeah, they were free
and it was actually a whole new story that added
to the game. I was like, bro, like, if we
paying full parts for the game, we should get the DLC.
Like now I could get like a character like Characters

(20:01):
of Coscos because I like, okay, that's an add on.
You know, you gotta make a little money, but like
the charge for like a whole new story, like even
with a very underrated game for me too. By the way,
God War's Outlaws when they came out with their DFC.
It was an add on story to the game, like
a whole new story. They just do that, Bro, all

(20:23):
this like all this extra you gotta pay, you gotta
paper that. But like you said, the sports games are
the ones who really like bank on it. Yeah, they
bank on the add on the DFC, except for baseball
because I play MLB. They just put out the game.
That's what you get. No add you get by like
if you want to the little currency in game currency.

(20:45):
But it's like add ons and stuff. A lot of
the stuff is already put into the game, so that's game. Yeah.
But everything else even they even got FIFA now doing
it FFA, hockey, boxing, UFC, Like it's all of them out,
all sports games. Bro. I won't even say golf because
I think two K did a golf game last year.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
So all right, all right, look, I don't know, man,
I just think we should just get fully made games. Okay,
I shouldn't And I'm a big I guess professa when
it comes to fallout like fan and those games are
known to be like buggy, but they're not expensive. Posess

(21:31):
the game. You know you're getting a buggy game and
they're gonna patch it like hell, but like at the
end of the day, you're gonna be able to run it,
you know, on your standard system. A Pokemon game you got,
you got glitches out the box. You're paying seventy dollars
for a game that's gonna crash on a rival.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Like I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna tell you a
video game for copsoles and for PC that's smart as hell.
They'll give you the A's game for free, and then
a couple of add on games, and then they make
you pay for like the expansion pack. But even at that,
they expansion packs aren't that much. I think the most

(22:12):
they go for is like forty bucks because they know
they fan base. It's like, we know that they're gonna
buy these games, so we're not gonna turn our back
on them and make it seventy bucks, because then we're
gonna lose our fan base. The rest of these folks,
they're like, fuck that, we know they're gonna buy.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
You can put one hundred dollars Frank sag on it.
They still gonna.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Drop like that car and they gonna put it in
the car.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
That's the and I hate to say that's the Pokemon
fantom in a nutshell. They'll it's like the seventy dollars
ticketing people are just like, I'm still gonna get that game.
You could have said a hundred.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
I still the same thing with the cards, Bro, he's
spos out here paying an army leg for a whole
like box of cards just to either reseal or play
them like it's easy. So like they know that they
can get over on these people. But stuff that don't
even cost that much to make, that's the crazy. None

(23:08):
of this stuff caused a lot to make, and it's
not even made over here. Just to throw that out there,
so it's y'all, they really getting over on us, Bro,
They're really Hey, sad, it's hurting, hurt. It's hurting a
lot of these original or these any games that are

(23:30):
actually good that are out like I keep getting the
name of it. But the one where you play like
in between two different worlds.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
I know you're talking about. Yeah something fiction is a
stain fiction something that's what it is.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
You get think fiction, Yeah, you get the games like
that fiction flip fiction. Yep, you get gay like that.
It's a good game, but they don't promote it. But
like I just said, I see a commercials, but Halo remaster,
even with games like we're talking about in the group chat,
even games like the Blade game, the Captain America and

(24:10):
Black Panther game by the way that I said, the
release next year. But what trailer did we get? It
got Overine because he's a popular character. But we haven't
seen anything else about other two games. So that's another thing.
It's about marketing. How they marketing game. You're gonna see
you're gonna see a Pokemon commercial, you gonna see a

(24:32):
two k Man commercial. You're gonna see a Mortal Kombat
a street Fighter like, you're gonna see all of this stuff.
So it's like in film with ips and all that
they know where the bank is because not only are
they selling this game, you go on the game stop.
You got the Funko pops for these games. You got

(24:54):
for these games. So it's a billion dollar business just
off of these franchising and it's been ain't broke. We
ain't gonna fix it. We just gonna keep adding on
to these franchises using these characters. At one point, remember
it was like Mario Soccer from Mario Olympics, Like the
on just doing shit. So it's wild, bro, Like I've

(25:17):
been to days where I could go and blockbust it
and I could see the Simpsons hit and run next
to the taxi driver and DTA. But then go over
here and I got taken and Dragon ball z voodocat
Golden knye. No, what was it? It wasn't Golden Eye.
What was the newest one? I can't remember the one
that was on game cube. You had these different varieties

(25:39):
of game, or you had some ship like Concin's Bad
Ferday of the Wall game I ever played. But then
you got Benjo Kazui and you got ray Man someffing
like that. It was got Spiral on the Dragon. It
was one game on PlayStation one. I think it was
like Midi's or something. But it was like a skeleton.

(26:00):
He has some all all he could take his head
off and throw the stuff. You had the movie Tian
games and all it. So it's like even that time out,
we don't even get the movie Tigan games.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
You don't get Yeah, we don't get it now.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
So it's becoming almost a factory industry. Just keep pumping
them out.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Just keep pumping out the GTA six and Moto Kombat
one part fifteen or something like that where it's like
we've recycled Mortal Kombat.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Like I think, but we got into two Mortal Kombat
before we got is just credit. Excuse me, y'all. I
know y'all can hearing me sniffed, but my allergies is
like on ten right now.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
That's all good allergy season.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Man.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, but I don't know. I think games are it's
in a weird place to be someone that's in the
games because either you're just not gonna buy any news
titles I don't know. Yeah, two places. Either you're you're
just not gonna be able to buy a new title,
and you have to go back to not either not
playing or playing older titles and re playing not remasters.

(27:07):
That's not that playing older games, or you're just paying money.
You're throwing money into it that you don't have.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Man, I'll tell you. Like this, they was having like
a big sale on PlayStation like the PlayStation online games. Yeah,
and I just bought the whole the trilogy. I was
mad though, because they played me. I thought it was
gonna be Origines in there. But the Arkha game, I'm like, shoot,
I'm about to replay this and have the time of

(27:35):
my life. Got to buy something new. I just said
the other doubs like, I'm gonna go back and play
Spider Man too again because man, because I played it.
That's like you said, to your point, it's been mostly
like for a lot of people who especially who can't
afford to just spurge on video games, then a lot
of replaying, a lot of playing old games. That's why

(27:56):
I kept my Xbox because I have a whole bunch
of older games on that, even from like the three
sixty and original Xbox, Like I got Knights of the
Old Republic one and two, okay, and I got what
else both the fourth Unleashes and then Republic Command though
where you played like that special ops com Clone Tea. Yeah,

(28:18):
so I'm like I could just go play that because
like literally right now, I'm just playing like Cuba from
Tony Hawk. I just bought oh Lego Star Wars the
Skywalker Stocker that was on that pad. I'm literally playing games.
I'm only playing one, one or two new games. Everything
else came out either five, ten, twenty years ago. So

(28:41):
that's that's a Jerseys up there right there.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
I got look instead, of buying the Pokemon New Pokemon game,
it was I went back to a game that came
out in twenty fifteen called Digi Mind Cyprus, and I've
been having I played one hundred or one hundred hours
and having so much funey. I only paid twenty bucks
for that game. I had to hunt it down and

(29:05):
it was hard to find it, but when I did,
it was done. I had to go to three or
four different game stuff. But that's how dedicated I was,
and not paying seventy dollars for that new game and
trying something new because I've never played a story game,
so I was like, and I played it, and I'm like,
this is better graphics and better teams and a lot
of different mechanics, and hopefully Pokemon's next game, because next

(29:30):
game is going to be the new mainline game, they'll
go back to the tried and true turn based style
that they've popularized, because look, am I paying seventy dollars
for you to throw a new format at me and
I don't I might not even like it, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Nope, not stress of myself thirty.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Dollars for that, and I would have maybe tried it
out because let's say I had to buy it for
more than one person, that's one hundred and forty dollars
right out the jump.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
That's groceries right now. That ain't even groceries noways, depending
on what you get, it's too that's like.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
A bag bro, one full bag of groceries. Man. But no,
the of the point of the podcast, pint of what
we made, it's just just to bring just one of
one event about it, but also just to bring awareness,
just to wear it at, just put it all out
there for everybody to be like, hey, man, it's okay

(30:33):
to say no that it's seventy dollars game or eight
dollar game. It's okay to be like, nah, we just
gonna hold off because I.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Think put it all on game Bro. Yeah. The trick
is just give it a few months, wait for them
like that them Springs, Summer Fall, silf you one of
those games gonna be on that for dollars. Everybody just
gotta have it when it comes out so they could
YouTube be alive.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
It's I don't be in the air being their fear
missing out. They don't want to be the missed out crowd.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
I'll tell you one thing I missed out on the game.
I just stot for twenty bucks, did you? And I
don't feel bad that I'm playing it now ten years
later or whatever. No problems. They got me hyped for
the new game that I'm not going to get the
new one that I'm a PS five, but I like it.
If I ever do get a PS five, that'll be
where I go for the PS five. Just need to
go down on price. Stop making he's thing. Stop making

(31:30):
more PS five. Man, we ain't getting better graphics. We're
not getting anything really that great besides just a shiny
new console to say you have it. I said, I've ranted.
Oh I can rant. I ain't got helping me. I said,
my pieces.

Speaker 1 (31:47):

on video games. Brother. Now, if you got it, hey,
if you got.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
It, man, Like this is for the people that ain't
got it. There's people that are struggling. The main thing.
If you got the money, you got the capital for it, man,
you be the one people that support it. But if
you ain't got it, don't break your bank for it, man,
just wait it out, either just wait for the next
game to come out, or wait for it to go
and sell games go on sell It just takes some time. Yeah,
