Including a second controller and bits you need (stand, disc drive) this is £900 in the UK. That's almost $1200. Without a game.

Modern game graphics have killed the console market.

Serious question, is there a reason to get a second controller? Couch multiplayer is not that common anymore, especially with Sony titles.

Having a second controller is a psychological crutch in this way. It represents the eternal possibility of that friend who is just about to burst through the doorway and play video games next to you, like when you were kids. Now purely ceremonial.

Devastating and true.
