Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

    Playstation 4. Huge money went into buying discs and digital games.

      Buy used.

      The disk-less “cheaper” PS5 is 100% the more expensive option.

      Also, if you buy a new game you’ll have the option to sell it on, recovering some of your initial investment.

        Thanks for the tips. In Helsinki, my friend actually just buys the disc version of PS5 and rents the discs for free in the library. We have to finish a disc in 2 weeks though (unless we can extend it).

      With time I’ve learned that video games are probably the cheapest hobby I have. I literally had a minor crisis when my computer died and I started crunching numbers on switching hobbies temporarily and found the cost of a new computer was cheaper especially once I took into account the already sunk cost of my game library
