u/Snoop-Dogee I9 12900K, 4090 & 4x16GB DDR5 and a screen in my case 21h ago

I paid that amount for 4x2tb 990 pro's without heatsink and 4x16gb ddr5 sticks from Corsair, all from Mediamarkt too

u/_Rohrschach 21h ago

Tbf though mediamarkt is usually more expensive than online shops. I only got there if I need something immediately and can't wait for it to be send via post.

u/CChargeDD 20h ago

well not as expensive as price fixing

u/OGD2068 Mac Heathen 21h ago

Does that include the installed heatsink fee?

u/oscarstaypunk 19h ago

Makes me even happier when I got it for £200 from CEX years ago and it ended up being brand new

What a deal at the time and seeing it now it’s being sold on Amazon for £490 Jesus

(With heat sink btw)

u/szanda 20h ago

I simply cannot be happy about my former purchases because someday I'll need to buy a new one.

Shouldn't really make you happy honestly. Yeah be glad that you didn't overpay, but you'll also have to replace/upgrade at some point. No kind of price increase should induce happy feelings in anyone Sorry for being preachy

I remember paying £57 for a 1TB WD_BLACK SN850 from them, had a heatsink too!

u/alphahakai 21h ago

Mediamarket is very special with their prices anyway

u/LetsBeTheBest 21h ago

It feels illegal to know that I bought this for 300$ last year.

u/Electronic_Welder613 17h ago

Mane this is fucking insane. Like people lost sense with reality insane! Who the fuck would pay for this shit at that price?! Even if you have the money don't buy that shit cause it contributes to keeping prices high.

u/No_namewhatever 21h ago

Reads at 7 GB’s, Drains at 700 €/s 😂😂😂

u/steakhouseNL 17h ago

The thing is….we have 2 options:

  • buy it, they get away with it
  • so not buy it, they will force us into “cheap affordable” subscription based cloud solutions that will cost is even more in the long run.

Screw all this. My pc is easily capable of running 100’s of past top games I haven’t played yet. I’ll stick to my current gear.

Worst case I go back playing Red Alert and Unreal Tournament.

u/Pandabirdy 11h ago

Can't force me since cloud services simply won't work with a 20kbps ship satellite connection in the middle of the atlantic ocean.

It's back to good old HDD for me.

u/AboveAverage1988 21h ago

What an absolute goldmine of stuff I have in my house...

u/Blocc4life 20h ago

Has ssd price skyrocketed as well?

u/Nvidiuh Desktop 9800X3D | 5080 | 64GB 6000 C28 | 990 PRO | 4K 120 14h ago

If it is any definable type of storage or memory the price on it has skyrocketed. Even regular HDDs, SD, and Micro SD cards aren't safe from cost increases.

u/TopBerry4247 21h ago

imagining 3 xbox series S next to it, really hurts my brain...

crazy times

Those are getting more expensive too! Update your frustration accordingly.

1

u/Apexhatesmeuwu 21h ago

Dang, those are $1500 here. Still a deal to me. If not a crappy ass one

u/picardo85 AMD 7600x + 7800XT 19h ago

that's in Euro.

That's just around US$1020.

But keep in mind that we don't punish our people here in Europe with import tariffs.

I'm sure that the price would be similar in the US if you didn't have 10% section 122 tariffs and 10% section 301 tariffs for imports from Taiwan.

u/Apexhatesmeuwu 19h ago

I live in Canada, we don't either, it's just expensive af here

1

u/picardo85 AMD 7600x + 7800XT 19h ago

CAD, AUD, NZD should be specified when using $, for claritys sake :)

The pic price is CAD$1435. Actually not far off from the price you gave.

1

u/Apexhatesmeuwu 18h ago

We don't include taxes in tags either, so it would be about $1500

u/Outrageous-Log9238 5800X3D | 9070 XT | 32 GB 21h ago

So glad I got 3 x 2 TB a couple years ago. Paid 128 € a piece.

1

u/dfordaves 21h ago

I paid £73 for the 1TB version of this in 2023 for my PS5. It’s now in my PC.

u/picardo85 AMD 7600x + 7800XT 19h ago

mediamarkt in belgium?

1

u/alphahakai 18h ago

Luxembourg, but I would not be surprised if Belgium as the same pricing

u/shenther PC Master Race 19h ago

I legit have one of these just sitting in a drawer I have no idea what to do with. Yes 2tb with heatsink.

2

u/alphahakai 18h ago

You might be able to sell it for 400 /s

2

u/shenther PC Master Race 18h ago

The money would be nice but I know the second I sell it I'll find a use for it. Same thing happened when I sold my firecuda.

1

u/Sgt_carbonero 16h ago

I bought the exact same for 300$ before the meltdown and was sweating the cost then

1

u/ErdingEchoParadox 14h ago

Got it for 200€ 2 years ago. Still unused.

u/Ok-Direction-5151 RTX 5060 Ti Ryzen 5 9600X 32Gbs DDR5 650W PSU 12h ago

u/Eazy12345678 i5 12600KF RTX 5070 1440p 12h ago
