How to prevent myself getting a PS 5 just for GTA 6

I used to stop play console games ever since PS 3 which I still remember can play " pirated games " Before that I own nintendo, sega too. Later I go on CS , Dota PC games and stop playing console games. As years gone by , and I grow up to adult hood.
Later due to work I hardly play any games. Later I switch to using Apple as I don't play much PC games anymore.

Suddenly once I see people play GTA 5. I begin to feel interested to play console games again. Before that I do play GTA Vice city on PS 3. So I go buy a PS4 slim with GTA 5. Along the way, I also buy battelfield , Fifa FC , COD. Around 2020 I stop playing my PS 4. Partly I feel time is wasted as I should be more productive come marketing stuffs as I quit my job , become a full time marketer. I also need to take care my parents as they getting old. Now a days I only play one Mobile game which is Clash Royal.

Now GTV6 is coming, it does make me want to go back console gaming. I nearly wanna buy a PS 5 slim also a TV partly I don't have spare TV. My living room does has a TV but I not used to like to play in my living room. If I going to buy a PS 5 Slim I also will be getting a tv which is 32 inch just fine for my bedroom but i also need to find a table for it. I used to own a rack place my old tv and PS4 last time. I throw away the rack as I stop gaming.

Now is how to prevent myself getting a PS 5 just because of GTA 6. I suspect I will feel bored once complete the mission. Later come Online those side hustle etc I feel will be the same concept just like GTA 5. Now I just trying to psycho myself don't buy , should save up money for future new iPhone and iPad.


Just wonder any one also like me?

Why not buy used and then sell when bored. You would not be out a lot of money. After all having a bit of fun is not worthless.

You can buy actually to satisfy your psycho since it seem so strong based on what you have said. Like the person above me said, you can buy, use and sale when you get bore. It has high market resale value. Then you can add up a little to ge the Iphone and Ipad.

I not say into like that. I know some will buy used for a while then sell off. For me I don't have that habit sell off my stuffs. Just like my PS 4 and those old console still lying around but I keep all inside a cupboard.

Buy - Play - Sell it. I’m jealous you can buy one. Ps you can gift it to the most positive person ahem you know right. Jokes aside do let us know what you end up doing

If I were you, I’d buy it. no excuses. Like Mr. Positive, I’d love to get one , in my case, an Xbox because is my favorite but I have not played in Play5.

So you into GTA 6 the craze currently?

Guess this make me think twice...


" Industry leaks and comments from video game analysts have fueled speculation that Rockstar may introduce an entirely separate or mandatory subscription layer specifically for the next generation of GTA Online content. While the single-player campaign remains a standard purchase, the push toward monetization indicates that premium multiplayer modes and top-tier content might heavily favor—or require—active subscribers. "

I noticed those already rush to pre order, I notice there is a GTA + Subscription free for one month. Later I go check is just extra cash, etc per month. but this time seem different. Which I stated above. If I not mistaken this time GTA 6 they will come out different content, mission when come Online? Those subscribe ones will get extra mission and content?

I remember I play GTA 5 online never have this GTA + sub.

Professor, send the money to me. No money, no temptation.

Man, even have money have to think twice worth it or not this time. PS plus is a must if wanna play Online.

I can relate to this. I think you're missing the nostalgia of console gaming as much as the games themselves.

My suggestion: don't buy a PS5 just because GTA 6 is coming. Wait until you've watched some actual gameplay and reviews. If the excitement is still there after a month or two, reconsider it.

Otherwise, you'll end up spending on a PS5, TV and accessories for a game you might finish and abandon.

Sometimes we miss the memories more than the hobby itself.

You could buy a used PS5 to try it out and then sell it once you get bored of it.

the expensive part is that you're not just buying a ps5, you're buying a tv and furniture for it too. i'd wait until gta 6 is actually out and see if you still want the whole setup. buying all that for one game is quite a commitment.

These few days I even scout around which Monitor is good for PS 5 slim, etc. I don't need a tv just a Gaming monitor which is good enough. I nearly put the trigger order but I again hold it. Interesting Ai seem like my thoughts...

I ask Ai , is getting PS 5 with GTA 6 or save money for new iPhone and iPad? As currently I still using Base iPhone 15 , the battery already degrade but I still can use it just charge again can last me entire day. Depend how much I play Clash Royal this mobile game on my iPhone. I only play this game partly is fun , quite competitive and don't drain the iPhone battery much unlike other mobile games. Whereas come my iPad Air recently suddenly a white spot appear. I never drop my iPad Air , always handle with care. I do check , actually some iPad Air users also report this flaws after one or two years usage. Even some iPad Pro users too. Nevertheless still can use etc as long the screen sensor is working.

So I ask Ai , mention my currently gadgets issues etc, Ai tell me is Wiser to save money for future new iPhone and iPad air than getting a PS 5.

Guess Ai has give me the answer.

Back in good old days 90s. I do play console games before go PC games like CS , Dota later I stop all gaming. Partly , I grow up to adulthood . Like working , take care elderly parents etc stuffs like that. Later I into digital marketing full time as I quit my job. So happen to have some time. Epic One day I see people play GTA 5 trigger my interest back. When I see that , GTA 5 already launch for years.

I go buy PS 4 Slim because of GTA5. Along the way I also buy FC , COD , Battlefield. Is all Digital format only GTA 5 is disc with bundle with PS4 slim that time I get it. At first it was fun. Partly the last I play console games are from nintendo, Sega later is PS 2.

So I play for years like around mid 2000. Suddenly I feel kinda bored. Next I feel like I neglect quite some time for my digital marketing stuffs. Partly how my day go. While doing my digital marketing stuffs etc already take half day. Than I also have Shrimp hobby. Which Sometimes I will sit at my shrimp tank see my shrimp. Next also play my smartphone scroll around check out how my marketing works etc.

By the time I ready to play some console game usually come night time. At most max I play 3 hours only but later I only play just 1 hours or so feel kinda bored and want to go back surf net .

This is why this time I keep hesitate want to get PS 5 or not. I do know PS 6 is up coming but obviously when it Launch as usual will be expensive but one thing PS 5 will still support. Thus base how PS cycle it does have long cycle for old PS before official cut off. Nevertheless I feel guess better save the money standby for my iPhone and iPad. End of the still an iPhone and iPad more important for work , phone call etc.

can't resist the GTA 6 really just make me go order a PS slim .... after I think for days and one week or so...
