PS4 is just a PC stuck in one configuration, linked to a popular delivery system. I don't get what the hype is about. Yes, it's a pretty good configuration at a reasonable price. But that will only be the case for a few months. PC

Your alternatives are 1) Switch to other cloud providers, I'm not aware of any very cheap ones. 2) Switch to other hostings, which can be 1/10 as cheap as AWS, but then you have to deal with the failures. 3) Colocate and build you
