I'm guessing $699. Been firm on this guess for a while now. Seeing the Series X refresh target $499 in those leaked slides locked in my opinion on this even more.

I am confused, i was expecting 1 SKU and blu ray drives sold separately but they keep referring to 2 different SKUs. Doesn't this make their production line more complex thus expensive?
Also, the pricing is confusing.
1. Complete Edition 550€
2. Digital Edition 450€
3. Blu Ray Drive 120€
If you buy the blue ray drive separately you pay 20€ more because....?
They want to push you to buy the complete one from the beginning, even though they earn more by selling their 1st party games digitally to you at the same price as the physical?

Well, they are adding more storage space and figuring that people will pay for the much smaller console volume (people pay for convenience :/…). It looks like they are riding on XSS also raising in price and think they can afford to have a bigger than the reduced $50 distance they now have.

Good luck selling PS6 a few years later for $499-599 and showing the performance delta from PS5 Pro people will demand and expect.

Oh c'mon. It was a silly question in the first place. And yes while I appreciate that you travel with your ps5, it's still a funny answer in context.

I'm pretty sure Sony cares very little about the XSS and how much it costs.

Good for them.
Whether it's prettier or not, it going to sell very well.

Ok. Sony raised the price of the PS5 in every region in the world a while ago. America, as per, didn’t suffer this price increase initially. Now it has.

PS Plus already got a 33% increase. Why wouldn't a new console launch get something similar 8 years later?

In this climate you expect a price drop? Some people are really out of touch judging by this thread.

IIRC you can't have a 12 channel 1TB drive so yeah must have changed that.
Probably no devs really using the priority stuff or extra speed just makes up for less channels.

That's a funny way to spell PS5 Pro.
Will continue to hold out for a stronger model i guess

Knowing Sony is increasing the hardware and service prices lately, i wouldnt be surprised. It´s the $499 PS3 all over again.

Except life in general is getting more expensive, poverty is growing and with the M.E. about to get in turmoil, the world-economy will be struggling even more.

I doubt there will be a pro to be honest. Before you had PC gaming driving the medium forward but now you pay 600 bucks for a mid range card that used to be 300. Smaller chips, smaller gains and I don't see it changing in the next few years.

Right. I meant specifically in consoles. It's like, "what? You mean I can't swap the SSD out of my current PS5 Phat and put it in my new smaller PS5?" Like, not understanding the outrage. Practically speaking with how consoles are sold, how would that even work. You'd have to ship SSD-less consoles. And as fast as download speeds are, not even sure what it matters. Could redownload all your games on your new PS5 Slim in like 6 hours tops.

Sounds more like hopium.
Standard PS5 will drop in price when the Pro Releases. That’s it. 599$ is the absolute most it will cost and it’s possible it will be 550$, depending on how much they cut the price of the standard.

$400 in 2020 = $474 in 2023 when adjusted for inflation. Literally everything else in life has gotten more expensive, from groceries to housing costs to commodities. Electronics is certainly not exempt from the historically high inflationary macro-conditions we're in right now.

Yeah. I don't see it being cheaper than the VR2 in the very least. I'm thinking $599UD as well.

If there's even a small market for it, they'll do it. Even though like what we experienced with PS4 Pro and One X, the promises of "4k gaming" were really never fulfilled until the current consoles came out. There's only so much improving you can do with those terrible Jaguar CPUs from 2012. We were all a little bamboozled. I freely admit I fell for it as well. And then 2 years in I realized the One X versions of games were like *barely* any better.

How did they manage to make it look worse than the OG? That disc model looks like it walked face first into a moving car.

The Dualsense matches the curves of the console beautifully, like they were designed as a set.
It no longer looks like they match as closely with the slim very well with the sharper BD drive bump.

Yeah, for sure. The tooling on the BD-ROM as an add-on makes it a no-brainer.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I'm also confused by this
I thought they was having one SKU with a optional drive but instead they have two SKU's with the main one again being a Disc One and one with the option of a Disc drive add-on.
Doesn't look like Sony are giving up physical anytime soon.
In fact they're promoting it.

Nice size reduction but really not a fan of glossy parts and the detachable drive is just going to push people into digital, which I hate, since you can't trust corporates at all, they don't care atcaml about you and your games library preservation.

How in the world are some of yall claiming it's uglier than the original when it basically just looks the exact same as the original just a bit slimmer and smaller?
