If they released a PS4 bundled with GTA V should I spend $400+ on that or wait about 2 years till I get a job and build my own PC? My parents said I can only make a PC with my own money so thats why I cant build a PC now if you are wondering.

Wait for PC.

 

The console gamers are just beta testing it for the PC master race.

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

PC will last longer, look better, and games are always going on sale.

(and you don't have to pay for online multiplayer)

imo even the thought of having mods is enough reason to wait for PC release.

You do realise GTA V is releasing for PC/PS4 at the same time right?

 

EDIT: Didn't read the OP, my bad. :>

 

So who's buying the PS4 bundle? Because if you've already got $400 then you're not 2 years away from building a PC. Save up another $400 and you can get a pretty decent rig.

@DeadSurvivor is planning on getting either or.

 

$800 is a great budget gaming PC build.

My parents would buy me the PS4 for christmas or my birthday but none of their money would go to the PC at all.

That master race thing disgusts me.

That's really nice of them!

 

Here are a few things to consider about a PS4:

-you have to pay for online games (ps plus), but you do get to receive "free" games as long as your subscription doesn't end.

-if you want a PS4, it's ultimately your decision.  (there are some nice exclusives for it)

Why not both?

Why don't you just get the PS4 for free and then save up for PC once you get a job

Just out of interest, what is it that your parents don't like about a PC? I know what it's like, it took a lot of effort by me to get my parents to spend money on my PC. I'm asking because there are lots of arguments for spending the money going towards a PC, so if you told us why they don't want to spend on it we may be able to help you explain why it would be in their best interests to get you on a PC rather than PS4.

 

Then again, if they flat out refuse to spend on your PC but will buy you a PS4, then why not go for the PS4. Besides, you can still save up for the PC and have both in the future anyway, best of both worlds ;)

Hey man thats their parenting and so far they have been amazing at it.

 

They just think its a huge hassle if I have to return stuff because it didnt work or it breaks and they dont want to deal with that. Its their money after all lol. They would rather have me own something that came assembled and working than me putting it together and hoping for the best.

Find a reputable shop that does pre-builts that only charge an extra $100 or so on top of the price of the original components.

How about we go with a non-knee jerk  PC master race reaction :P

 

If GTA 5 is the only game you would get on the console, that could be a bit of a waste. But if there are other exclusives that catch your eye and no way to potentially wrangle the money the ps4 would cost to be saved up for a PC, I'd get the PS4 to tide myself over till I could save up. By the time that happens, GTA V on PC should be cheap anyway so if you want to buy it again, not much of a loss there.

 

If you have nothing else to game on for a couple years, PS4 really isn't bad of an idea. It's going to get the better 3rd party versions of games (of course barring PC...) and a good selection of 1st party games from Sony.

I'm not saying your parents aren't great at what they do. but it is a stupid thing to not want to buy one thing and be willing to buy the inferior. If they informed themselves they would change their mind, it has nothing to do with their parenting, it has to do with misinformation. My parents are amazing as well but my father also never wanted to buy me anything pc related and was totally against me picking the path I chose in the beginning until he came to accept it and understand more of what it is.

Same here, my parents were very on the edge about me building my PC a few months ago, but I informed them along the way about how to build one. At the end they saw that there wasn't too much to worry about and I ended up building it without an issue.
