Five years into the console’s life cycle, the latest PlayStation 5 is more expensive than ever. If that wasn’t enough, Sony is now offering customers less bang for their buck than if they had bought the hardware just a few months ago.

It’s such a big downgrade; you’re better off hunting for an older or used console if you hoped to play Ghost of Yotei before the end of the year.

Earlier this month, Sony started shipping a 500-euro version of the slim PS5 with less storage—825GB—than the previous slim version’s 1TB to Europe. With the standard storage requirements for the system’s operating system, that means the new system only has 667GB for you to download your games to.
