NES games cost around $60 in the 80s, maybe the pattern will hold.

Once everyone had their instant pots that are really reliable and rarely break, instant had to come up with something else to sell and make money. In the pursuit of that, they made a lot of bad choices, including taking on debt, and didn't find the same success they had with instant pot.

While true in most cases, that doesn't apply here. They were allowed to have books, their phone, and a break every 8 hours to use the bathroom. Succesptible people can form pressure ulcers in that time frame, but a healthy person with normal circulation and skin, and absent from moisture and friction, will not get bed sores.

This is the lying down competition, not the bedridden and in a coma competition. No post performance surgery required, or else the $350 prize doesn't go very far...

All the Royal series look like that, and it is very nice. There isn't enough chrome or shiny in PC components, which is a shame. RGB everything and allwhite seem to dominate the market.

This is not a problem for a healthy person, which is presumably why he didn't need surgery to remove necrotic tissue from his back.

It's mainly the colors, but it came with some extras as well. And a paperclip.

Like I said, about $300 overpriced even with the additional items and only hyped due to limited edition. How many times has Nintendo released a console in NES colors without making it limited? Just a ridiculous move by Sony.

Things will be more expensive this Xmas due to shipping via air.

I would have paid $700 for the Pro if it came with everything the 30th anniversary edition had, and maybe a little more if it also included the Portal.

Unfortunately, Sony can't stop tripping over their own incompetence and limited the units to 12,300 for a reason that can be simplified to be: "money." So it sold out in less than a minute to scalper's bots and can now be found on eBay for five times the price.

No one who wants to hear what the left-of-right has to say listens to talk radio, but everyone who needs to hear it listens to talk radio.

You basically paraphrased what I said. Maybe I'm not saying it in a way you parse as unsympathetic, but I'm definitely not defending Pillow Man. Most people seem to get that, or else I'd be absolutely demolished by negative votes.
