They offer payment plans for a cell phones I'm waiting for the day that they start offering payment plans to purchase video games. They've already trialled with it with the hardware with the Xbox Series X launch with their all access pass, which don't get me wrong was a great deal but, eventually we are going to hit the point where the everyday person if they want to buy a video game is going to have to do one of those by now pay later plans through like affirm or something, which is a scary thought. As is if it gets much higher than $100 it will qualify for paypals 6-month equal financing deal if you have their credit card, if this change had been just 6 months prior it would have already been qualified for it because they just recently raised their minimum so I think it's like $120 or $140
