literally holding this GameStop Storage Expansion box in my hand, staring at the stack of NEW price tags that had climbed all the way from $109.99 to a specialized level of $184.99. It is a legendary display of corporate greed to keep slapping higher stickers on the same 1TB SSD, especially when it’s advertised as a simple PlayStation 5 upgrade. My girlfriend took one look at that $184.99 price point and flat out refused to let me buy it, claiming it cost way too much for a piece of plastic.
The sheer audacity of her trying to gatekeep my gaming performance was the only motivation I needed to take a stand right there in the aisle. I didn’t waste time negotiating; I immediately threw a full-blown tantrum in the middle of the store, making such a scene that she eventually caved just to stop the embarrassment. I’m currently sitting in the car with my 7400MB/s read speed securely in my lap, realizing that while she’s still mad about the cost, I’m the one who’s going to be enjoying zero load times tonight.
