If a $500 console doesn't hurt the wallet (or purse), we need to talk online subscriptions, accessories, a 120 hz TV, games, storage expansion, and internet subscriptions plus a handful of random costs over the lifetime of ownership such as repairs. I analyze an article on the cost of owner ship of a PS5 or Xbox Series X, then give my advice on what you can avoid and what you will NEED.
