20 rupees a game to finally owning a PS5 Pro
as a kid, i'd save up 20rs just to get a few minutes on a ps2 at the local game center. i have so many memories of playing smackdown! here comes the pain, the incredibles, and a bunch of other games with my cousins. then years later, it was gta v on a ps3 there. i always wished i could own a playstation one day.
after two years of countless internships and saving almost every stipend instead of spending it, i finally bought my own ps5 pro - with the disc drive, an extra dualsense, and a 1440p oled monitor.
ironically, i finally started building a physical collection just as sony announced they're moving away from physical releases. 😅 i guess i picked one hell of a time to become a collector.
it's still surreal buying something like this with money i earned myself. the kid counting 20rs notes outside the game center would've never believed it.
now it's time to work through the backlog, chase platinum trophies, and get ready for gta vi.
