All that's needed would be a motherboard, power, and case, which could all be had for <$250. |
$214+$150+$250=$614
That's over 50% more expensive than the PS4.
So let's put this in car terms since we are on a car forum.
Your FRZ cost ~25k, let's add 50% to that, that puts us at 37.5k. Let's see, for $35k you could buy a brand new Mustang GT Premium. It has 420hp, more than double your FRZ, leather, premium sound system, etc. But, was that extra 50% worth it to you to get that significantly better performance? No... and that is okay because you wanted a FRZ.
In other words, some people want to drop $400 on a console that comes ready to go out of the box and where you can sit on your ass on the couch after a long day of work and slouch with a single controller in your hand after sliding a disc into the drive. AND THAT IS OKAY!
Ugh, I am a PC gamer and somehow I am arguing with other PC gamers.
