Ouch so £59.99 UK price? I doubt I'll be pre-ordering games in future at these prices.

It's actually cheaper to go digital if that's the shop and online price. Buy £70 worth of points for £60 from places like shop to, cd keys.

 

[pesaddict]

Really. The Scene has been decimated. Most of them are now working for the likes of Denuvo, lol.

I only do tv shows and films gonna research up on denuvo i assume its some sort always online bull crap

 

[Azurro]

80 euros, wtf?!

 

[Blond]

But MS games are included day one in Gamepass

All of a sudden day 1 games on Game Pass don't sound so terrible huh?

As if Microsoft studios have produced anything worth playing since Kinect was introduced.

 

[Nemesisuuu]

This is comedy central.

Spoiler

No way I'm paying 80 euros for a game lol

 

[Ar¢tos]

Sackboy seems to be a bit pricey for what it is.
It will be Half price after 2 months.

I have to go work the street corners to be able to afford games next gen...

 

[dano1]

I only buy a select few games at regular price anyway. I wait for sales most of the time and now with how plus works with a huge selection I’m just fine with it. Hell I paid $60 for my SNES games back in the day!

 

[DJT123]

Yes, it's horrible crap that punishes paying customers. It noticeably affects loading times (and other parts) of some games by placing additional strain on your PC's resources.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Just seeing these Sony game prices. £70 in the UK..........



Not in this economy I'm afraid. This is SNES Donkey Kong Country cartridge pricing and I can't accept it.

You really want to compare Donkey Kong to God of War or Horizon? Lol

 

[Gabbar Singh]

This is why digital only versions of console should be avoided because they will recoup the losses in selling you higher prices games. Retail physical discs can always be found cheaper even at launch by usually $10 atleast.

PlayStation 5 launches in November, starting at $399 for PS5 Digital Edition and $499 for PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disc Drive

All the more reason not to buy the Digital Edition

 

[Evil Calvin]

Games are going to be 69.99 on the X1 as well.

Are they? Seems to me they might want the upper hand and stay at $59

 

[Sleepwalker]

89.99 CAD + 13% tax in ontario , used market here I come.


Notice how they haven't said anything about game sharing on PS5 before pre orders going live for the digital edition.

 

[NoMoChokeSJ]

As if Microsoft studios have produced anything worth playing since Kinect was introduced.

Pretty sure almost every game they've announced during their last show will be day one launch on Game Pass. At $70+ a game now that adds up fast.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

You really want to compare Donkey Kong to God of War or Horizon? Lol

I'm comparing the price! DKC was £70 back in the day....

 

[GaviotaGrande]

Cool, it's not like you're locked into the Steam, Epic Game Store or GoG eco system and that you can put those Xbox-1 disc in a PS4 and can play those games on Nintendo or some shit. Oh wait, YOU CAN'T! The console itself is a form of DRM regardless of what

Oh so you're saying that on PC I can choose from multiple competing storefronts that constantly run sales or grab a CD key for dirt cheap from dozens of websites? And that GOG is completely DRM free? Yeah, PC is just like PlayStation, Nintendo or Xbox.

 

[and 3 others]

That's fine with me. I bought a SNES game new for $120 adjusted for inflation back in the day

 

[JLMC469]

So let me get this straight.

1. Biggest launch title (Spider-Man) is also coming to PS4 (talk about believing in generations right SONY?).
2. FFXVI and Demons Soul’s coming to PC.
3. Launch lineup is laughably horrible.
4. Games are $69.99
5. Show a teaser for GOW showing only the games title and stating is releasing in 2021 when most of us know it will be a 2022 title.
6. Oh and Horizon 2 is also releasing on PS4.

Nice conferene.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

* crying in 80 euros * EU is expensive as usual.

 

[peetfeet]

Why are the prices higher in Euro's?? 80 euros for demons souls? if that not enough to put people off digital nothing is

 

[Knitted Knight]

Digital only console can get fucked.

Horrible.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

$70 and £70.

This is what happens with sweet priced digital console prices. They get you on the back end.

Wouldn't be surprised if MS does the same thing.

 

[Leyasu]

80 euros for a fucking game!
Hahahahaha!

Everyone twerking for Sony when they said 399 for the DE, only to realise that Sony about to dry cornhole their arses hard.

 

[Antwix]

This new pricing might save Gamestop after all

 

[VanEs]

80 euros??!!

 

[AgentP]

Are they? Seems to me they might want the upper hand and stay at $59

The industry will move lock step, no one would change the price alone.

 

[Discusguy]

I’ll pass on that there $70 game price.

 

[Verchod]

I'd still buy the digital version. You can buy digital copies online for decent prices. Besides it also makes you be more selective. Publishers will loose out overall as people will but fewer titles, do it and less frequently.

 

[Aggelos]

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Everyone twerking for Sony when they said 399 for thee DE, only to realise that Sony about to dry cornhole their arses hard.

For people savvy with money, yes.

But look what happened with Nintendo Switch. Sold for a good price and get nailed with $100 CDN joycons. Bit on the back end.

I wouldn't be surprised if most people only looked at system price and didn't give a shit what games, accessories and console online fees cost. They'll cross that bridge later.

 

[Sleepwalker]

This is how Sony gives its beloved retail a pat in the back

 

[MrFunSocks]

Let’s see how many “fuck Sony!” Posts we have compared to the “fuck ea!” ones lol

 

[wolffy71]

Dont expect any cheaper on xbox

 

[Evil Calvin]

The industry will move lock step, no one would change the price alone.

Microsoft may give the publishers the same cut but take less profit to undercut Sony.

 

[DonF]

Hey, watch me NOT buying games day one

 

[Sir Vilhelm]

Has Microsoft confirmed their first party price?

Spoiler

$15/month for game pass not looking so bad

Spoiler

In before xbox has no games

 

[nemiroff]

80 Euros.. Holey fuk!

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

69.99 and with day one dlc/season passes.

And people are still pushing for a all digital future lol.

 

[Silent Viper]

Cross-gen Exclusives after promising next gen only Games and now 70$.. For the players indeed

 

[Vasto]

Game Pass gamer here!

 

[noise36]

Makes the digital only PS5 even a worse deal than it already was.

 

[chilleverest]

It's actually cheaper to go digital if that's the shop and online price. Buy £70 worth of points for £60 from places like shop to, cd keys.

No, its actually cheaper to go physical, see if you like the game or not, and then decide to sell it used or keep it.

 

[splattered]

Ok so $70 for cross gen titles? Seems reasonable... errr

 

[Balducci30]

Mmno I don’t think I will. Really torn right now between getting series s (I’m eventually gonna have to get one for Halo) or ps5 DE at launch. But this pricing situation for the games is not ideal. Why are people acting like they can get the games cheaper on disc? Do you mean if you wait till there are used copies or something?

 

[ColonialRaptor]

Damn those prices are insane. 80€ for a game is like 130$ Australian Dollars for a Video Game

It’s $125 for games on eb but I mean we get jb always doing launch games for 20 - 30 off so I mean they’ll probably sell for 79 or 89 at launch this gen. Not so bad.

 

[CatLady]

I don't feel like this is ONLY a Sony thing, haven't there been rumors of other publishers pushing prices to $69.99?

Of course it doesn't affect me since ALL XGS games come Day 1 at the price of $0 since I have Game Pass,

 

[The_Mike]

*laughs in pc master race *

Holy shit next gen will fast become more expensive than a PC system. U expect Microsoft to follow suit since they have the same insane pricing on steam.

 

[Redlancet]

All of a sudden day 1 games on Game Pass don't sound so terrible huh?

What games? XD

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Lol. So the Disc version is cheaper in the long run. So much for an all-digital future.
