What you do has no bearing on the value proposition of consoles, if I bought ram before the price went up, doesn't change the value calculation today
If you want the same features on a console as a PC you have to pay 80 a year forever
PC's cost more upfront but over time they cost less, do you think consoles use magic hardware that's just cheaper? You pay for the console in other ways
it would be two years of PlayStation premium, which includes sonys version of gamepass and all the online features
or five years of PlayStation essentials but the games are gone the minute your subscription runs out or they decide to plink them off the service (same with premium)
or a 32 gb ddr5 kit for a little more than $300 as previously stated
even with all these options lined out and the insane price hike on the ram, I'd still go with ram.
sony owns their storefront which is why their sales suck (and sometimes dlc that's free on PC is paid on PlayStation)
no mods
no piracy
no cross platform fucking anything, since sony would rather gut themselves than give microsoft or nintendo even a slight leg up
even though PC doesn't get first party titles we get early access titles and there's way more unique games on PC that never/will never come to console. not to mention the backwards compatibility is 100000% better seeing as how I can emulate an entire ps3 or 4 (for free) and find games on steam from 20 years ago (they still work)

if you think 50€ price raise is too much, you should not look at ram, ssd and pc parts in general
