The end of Playstation 3 support.

You can build a PC perfectly capable of out pacing a PS4 for 500-600$ USD or less.

...My built by myself PC has lasted me a good 2-3 years on a budget of $700AUD...

I wonder, how can be "cheap" throw 500$ instead of 200$, to reach same result? I know a PC does other things than running XIV, but my goal is just running XIV. I found it more cheap to get the ps4 than upgrading a pc that, apart gaming, still does everything fine.

Compared to the questionable price of the PC you spent money I think my PC is pretty cheap in comparison.
If there's one thing I do miss about console gaming it's just exclusives. I pretty much grew up on it starting with the PS1.

Maybe I had not correctly worded my things. Didn't spent anything on pc and kept the one I have, and bought the ps4. Yes a gaming rig is overkill for xiv and with around 500 bucks I can make one of my own that will run next expansion fine.

I just made the decision to buy the ps4 for gaming, and keep the pc I have for everything else. Grand total 200 bucks. A deal to me.
