Because of taxes and import costs to build a PC that is somewhat comparable to PS4 (not even PS4 Pro) in my country (Poorland) I'd have to spend about $650 including rebates (fx-3600/i3-6100 with GTX 750Ti/RX 460, 8GB DDR4 RAM, cheap mobo, case, PSU, DVD drive, Win10, Xbox 360 controller) and you can get new PS4 for as cheap as $260 at sale (999 PLN). And with PS4 you get smaller, more energy-efficient system with bluray and other additional stuff.
Of course, the games sold for twice the price but they can be easily bougth used and resold unlike PC games.
I'm a poorfag student with shitty pentium 2020m laptop that's pretty okay for everything I do (uni level programming/movies/internet) except games so I don't really need another PC. I can't reuse parts from my old gayman rig because I shared it with my sis and let her take it.
Any reasons why I shouldn't I betray PC mustard race and just buy a PS4 like a poorfag I am?
self bump

they know nothing about hardware

From what you said I would go for a console too. There's no shame in it, a poorfag's gotta do what a poorfag's gotta do.
>>56963867
stop playing games ?
you have to use bsd instead of gpl3 licensed gnu+linux, which is inherently bad

I use windows 10 right now, you can't go lower than that. I wanted to build a linux gaming pc but the money I would have to put in the hardware to make up the difference in performance between wine and windows (I'm not even considering linux ports because they tend to work even worse than windows versions on wine) would cost much more than windows 10.
I'm 100% fine with MIT license btw
Go for console, i have both ps4 and a decent pc, but given the circumstances, go for the ps4
Just get a console, it can do anything a pc can do and it has better and more exclusives and content than pc if you are interested in gaming.
Just get a console
just get a PlayStation 4 Pro gaming system

Yea, I don't get why pc cucks need 2 thousand dollars pc just to play a game.
A pc only use these days are for vendors editing, I have a laptop and it's just collecting dust.
>>56963867

It's fine as long as you are able to get cheaper games (than the retail price).
But at least install gentoo on your PC.
>>56964272
the reason you can get PS4 so cheap now is that everyone's buying Pro and it costs $467
thanks anons, I'm buying PS4 (regular one) like a fucking poorfag Slav I am

I use Ubuntu on my older laptop and installed Mint on my gf's laptop after she got it full of viruses (she's been using WinXP until October 2015)
>>56963867
Wait are you from poland? How the fuck it could be so fucked up
Even in lithuania it's not that fucked up

Or, idk
We don't earn much money, but we have loads of shit and it's price is not much bigger than you can get it from original place
Consoles are trash, trust me I sold my Xbox One and PS4.
You have to pay for Online (Which is free on PC)
$60
Games are much more expensive
You are locked down
With PC you can pirate games and get them for free, or go on G2A and get them for dirt cheap.
Save up a little and get a PC.
>>56964024
this.
PS4 is ONLY for gaming, with a PC you can at least learn some coding and make a little money on the side.
Buying a console is like flushing money down the toilet.
>>56965275
No, pc aren't made for games, while consoles are, and pirating is a crime
