And all this can be yours in 10-15 years for a single week's rent when people are posting about watching films in 32K on 100inch panels.

(Or perhaps more likely some kind of 4K VR ultra wide.)

Also got this recently, a signed Steps CD, and it contains some absolute bangers!

RichardUK, you're a mad man!

You even overpaid for the games. TLOU2 (365games - £35), Watch Dogs Legion (Shoptop - £46.85), TLOU Remastered (Game Collection - £10).

You could have played all those on PS4, and bought a PS5 when they're back in stock and there's an exclusive game you wanted to play.

"Over 200 Game of the Year awards", yet were any of these from outlets worth a damn?

Well, this is why I charge above average.

There's a hundred grovelling plebs and then there's Richard. You can pay my bills, thank you and welcome.

Edit: That may sound awful. Honestly, 90% of craftspeople are charging very little, even when their work is very good. It's a systemic problem due to post industrial and post digital warping of the value of bespoke goods and services when faced with overseas markets and a constant bitter war, for some unknowable reason, against the value core of one of Britain's highest grossing products - art & entertainment. I simply reject the trend and offer superior quality goods and service :cool:

I also think I have a right to earn a living as much as anyone else, yet at the same time, I'm not desperate for excess income.

And I don't buy PS5s for a thousand pounds, I buy gooseberry fool like printers instead. :toot:

Take what you think you're worth, then double it. Then double it again.

Btw that's obviously the CEX price so tell that to the Eurogamer guy over there.

Edit: Changed my post because I seriously don't want that to be taken out of context off site at some point in the future :slol:

And Amazon Germany had stock of the PS5 headset Friday-Sunday (that’s where I got mine)

Why would anybody be stupid enough to pay that much for a PS5. It just plays into the scalpers hands.
