I ditch PlayStation for a month or two and I'm level 550? What in the fuck has happened to trophies / count in the last couple months cobbas?

Me after PS5 show: Fuck it, 600 AUD for the discless, maybe I get the Series S instead of Series X, throw the 250 difference into a discless for Spidey, why not. They're taking a major L on dropping 150 off the price to go discless, I like this, this is good, shame the only thing either of them have next gen around launch is Spider-Man, maybe fuck it, I could even wait on the Series console to have it's first big sale and just get a discless for Spidey at launch.
Sony after PS5 show: Fuck it, Spider-Man is coming to PS4.
Me after that: Well fuck, guess who just lost ALL interest in a PlayStation 5. Are you fucking kidding me? Why would you do that, it was arguably the biggest exclusive you had, and you're throwing it on last gen after all? I figured they'd at least wait a while before doing it like Resogun and whatnot did, but there you go. See you in hell PS5, I'll pick you up on sale when Spider-Man 2 comes out, I guess.

RRP is $100, but plenty of stores sell for around 69 (not trying to be funny, it usually is 69) bucks launch day. No idea if we'll get a price rise or not, some games are listed on EB for PS5 at $125 at the moment so here's hoping that ain't the case. PS3 games for the first few years were RRP $120 too, so we actually dropped a bit over the last 10 years and change.
I'm a bit peeved on the Series S though, 300 USD in AUD is just over $410, add on our 10% GST and you're ballpark around $455 after conversion, if they had have come in at $450 (instead of the $500 AUD tag they went with), that would have been crazy. On the other side, 500 USD in AUD is just under 690, 10% GST brings that just OVER the $750 tag both the PS5 and Series X are going with here, go figure.
The discless PS5 being 600 next to the Series S at 500 makes the S a lot harder of a sell for only a hundred bones difference, had they got it down to 450 (where it really should have been, tbh) I could see a shitload more S's selling, but for only a hundred more, if I didn't have years of Game Pass and back compat games, if I was just coming into next gen with nothing, I'd take the 4K ready fancy pants full fat PS5 with Spider-Man at launch any day between the two.
