What's the cheapest thing you had bought that by the end of its usefulness made you say "wow, this was worth a lot more than what I've paid for!" (sh.itjust.works)

Mine... My Xbox 360 slim only costed 129 euro back in 2012 and to this day still work like brand new, you would think that the disc drive would stop working but no. Never had the need of open it or clean it's insides. Still great, I just don't use it anymore since I feel it's outdated and loading speeds are better nowadays.

My steam deck. Mine is still less than a year old, but holy shit I've been using the fuck out of mine. Worth every penny.

Steam Deck was so good, it made me question if I should ever buy a $2000 gaming PC again.

I'm currently on Year 6 and was considering getting a new graphics card. Then Steamdeck came out and found I didn't even need it, since I barely play games that require that level of power.

Oh and I'm currently playing Elden Ring right on my big screen TV with my Steamdeck and it looks great.

There are so, so, so many good games that are still fun to play today. Why do people subject themselves into the whims of companies such as Bethseda, EA, etc?
