    OK but I think it actually might be interesting to see the difference.

    That top tier model got you:

    • WiFi
    • a hard drive 3x bigger than the standard
    • every type of card reader
    • full backwards compatibility with previous console games
    • bluray and CD player for home entertainment console use

    Now granted that last part is true for the cheaper model PS3 too.

    For the PS5 pro upgrade you get

    • the same amount of RAM
    • slightly better performing GPU under theoretical max use cases using updated hardware but not new
    • a removed disk drive for less functionality
    • 2x times hard drive space when storage costs are at a historical low.

    The extra money used to get you more functionality. This refresh seems like more for number fetishists to scrape more dopamine from the bottom of the barrel and get ripped off apple style to dish out more for basic features.

    Yes they have charged a lot but this is not exactly a great sign of “see how they have always done this?”

    Edit: also wages haven’t dramatically shifted since the PS3 launch so while inflation has ruined purchasing power to make it cost equivalent of $950, work hours needed to work to afford $600 is still the same thus making this new console still quite more costly. Its just you could buy more with same hours of work in the past.

    Decimals don’t matter for you and you are pushing that to everyone as a way to delegitimize my point.

    I use Celsius and they matter to me. I can and do notice a difference between setting my thermostat to 21.5 vs 22 vs 22.5. You don’t whatever.

    I said I was using Celsius but because I had a complaint you decided I was outside of your accepted user group and my statement was BS.

    Its bullshit.

    Meh I’m about 50/50 4 air conditioners in. Half degrees has not been all that uncommon and it’s up and down arrows to adjust it. I don’t get the handwaving of legitimate points of comtention to make Celsius seem more perfect. Everything has its flaws. It’s completely fine to admit that.

    No this was an airconditioner built for and used in Japan only. It’s only in Celsius. It just uses decimal point options for finer control. I have been in plenty of places that only use Celsius and use decimals especially higher than 20s.

    And still doesn’t change the drastic change between the whole numbers the higher you go vs lower temps.

    Edit: literally my fever thermometer uses decimals to help you get a proper temperature reading between normal and fever.

    I’ve been all over the world. Trust me seeing 21.6 or other decimals is not uncommon you and others are really just pushing hard on the ideas that there is no flaws and none of the quirks of Celsius.

    I literally just set an air conditioner to 20.5°C. I don’t get why lie like this.

    I’m gonna be honest. I love Celsius for the the whole perfect math reasons with calories and water based measurement…

    But the curve on temps is a pain when all the nice temperatures require using a decimal place to decide just how slightly above or below pleasant it is but cold is basically everything from 16°C to -30°C And then decimals really matter when hotter than pleasant temps.

    Whole rounded integers are just so vastly different depending how high or low you are in Celsius.
