It also costs $468.68 over 7 years with the 12 month plan.

So it’s really $1168.68.

I got a great PC for that price!

And instead of no DVD drive, you can put in a DVD RW Drive, Floppy drive, extra SSDs etc.

Can you expand on this, how is a 12 month pkan running for 7 years?

He's talking about PS plus.

The "12 month plan" is meaningfully less expensive than a year of paying monthly, so he's using the cheapest option if you want to play online games (excluding sales, at least).

The average console generation runs for 7-8 years

But then, assuming you’re not sailing the high seas or taking help from fit girls, you’d be spending similar amounts on the same kinds of games for the PC? Or am I mistaken somehow?
