Yeah no thanks I'll stick to my ps4 or fortnite lol.

 

[prinz_valium]

Controller is $10 more, too

 

[Kenpachii]

Expensive console, expensive games, expnesive controllers, paid online. What could possible go wrong.

Guess its 7th generation all over again.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I'll keep my PS4 for now then

 

[The Cartographer]

80 euros for a fucking game!
Hahahahaha!

 

[danielJackson]

€80?!?!! That's $90.

What the fuck. We're heading back to SNES game prices.

SNES games were 600mk here, which would translate into around 100€ without inflation and probably 150-200€ with it Reason why I had only 6-7 games total.

But 80€ is madness, currently launch games are 59-69€, so that is big jump and even current prices makes most of my friends to wait sales or buy used games.. 80€ is like salary of 1,5 days after taxes on 10€/h jobs which are common.

 

[onesvenus]

80€ is a big no no for me. It's crazy

 

[Estocolmo]

This makes Game Pass a stronger contender?

will Sony eventually go the same game pass path as MS?

 

[spons]

Price increase without an increase in actual value of the products you're selling.

 

[brap]

Awful. Not worth it at all.

 

[CouzinD]

Who’s surprised? Will definitely only be getting a couple a year. Fine by me though.

 

[Barakov]

We knew it was coming but disappointing all the same. Just means I'll be waiting for sales more than ever.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Even at $70 US, that's around $90 Canadian.

You guys want to see scary prices.

Sega Genesis cartridge days. Phantasy Star II and Sword of Vermillion. $120 CDN each. That was the regular price in stores.

And the worst of them all. Back then games came out in the US earlier, so when Super Mario 3 came out (for probably $50 US?), Canadian NES games were around $50-70 depending on the game.

Small mom and pop shops going to Buffalo and grabbing some to bring back were hawking these in store for $150!

 

[Hydroxy]

You can resell physical copies of games. So better buy the one with disc drive.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

That's ridiculous. Hope you all digital fans are pleased. You don't have to get up to change discs!

 

[Dregnel]

5 games is a console now, the digital version is a big NO.

 

[-Arcadia-]

Lmao as if micro transactions arent a thing.

For GaaS, sure, but single player games can only leverage them to a limited extent. Microtransactions, in those cases, likely cannot offset the demands of games requiring ridiculous amounts of people and time to create, getting more demanding all the time, and with a next-gen jump soon.

So, lmao all you want, but try to use your head a little instead of jumping to conclusions.

 

[Kimd41]

Not paying 80€ for a game lmfao

 

[Blond]

That's the price you pay for 399 all digital box. I hope you like it.

This post makes absolutely no sense. Maybe the fact game prices haven't kept up with rising cost and inflation plays a part in it too? bUt aLl dIgTal BawXeS!!!!

 

[MiguelItUp]

Yeah, in a world where games are going up in cost if I'm buying for a console you can damn well bet I'm going physical. At least then I have SOMETHING I can hold in my hands.

 

[sircaw]

Demons at launch? Shiiiiiit

Take my money and suck my dick

I think your meant to do the sucking lol

 

[UnNamed]

Can't wait to not to pay 299€ or 399€ for a console with 80€ games.

 

[Michael Hawk]

Phew, next-gen tax coming at launch.

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

80 euros for demon's souls and destruction all stars?
maybe this is a pricing mistake?

[M1chl]

Legit

 

[Jezbollah]

Read the article, people:

"Our own Worldwide Studios titles will be priced from US$49.99 to US$69.99 (RRP) on PS5"

 

[kretos]

yeah i'm not getting the digital edition

 

[fermcr]

€80 ???

No thanks. I'll stick with my PC.

 

[ethomaz]

It is legit.

We know these prices already since Activision announced the new Call of Duty.

Publishers (Sony included) increased the prices in $10.

 

[Thaedolus]

Honestly expected. Considering paying $70+ for certain special cartridge games 25 years ago, though....eh...wait for sales I guess? I can't imagine more than a handful of games I'll want to play Day 1 and pay that price for next gen.

 

[bender]

Not paying 80€ for a game lmfao

$90 digital deluxe!

 

[Dr Bass]

That's definitely a lot. I remember paying 80 or 90 bucks for Chrono Trigger though haha.

Funnily enough, Nintendo has been warning about the increasing costs of making games for years and years, and now we are seeing those costs passed onto us.

 

[Hudo]

80€, holy shit. Yeah, sorry. But no. I'm not paying 80€ only to discover that there will be season passes and other DLC/micro transaction shit.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

amazing. i paid this price for new games 25 years ago!

 

[Antwix]

Hmm, I'm curious what some Walmarts will be charging for physical games in-store. Most Walmarts price their new games at $50 as opposed to $60. Either way, definitely sways me to go physical.

 

[Megatron]

Well that money for money hating exclusives gotta come from somewhere.

 

[Kenpachii]

80 euro's is bad shit insane. that's 95 dollars

 

[Blond]

Even at $70 US, that's around $90 Canadian.

Preach a little louder. It's hilarious that people in this thread were in others talking about they're ready to pay 600 dollars for a PS5 but don't want to pay 70 dollars for the games to play on it? Give me a break lmao.

 

[nyr88nyg]

$50 for a ps4 expansion, hard pass on Spider-Man. Demon’s souls should be worth it

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

 

[Aladin]

Gamepass model looks good.

 

[M1chl]

This only boost service like PS Now and GamePass. 80EUR is outrageous.

 

[pesaddict]

PC and a private tracker will do me

 

[zcaa0g]

That's ridiculous. Hope you all digital fans are pleased. You don't have to get up to change discs!

Yep, I'm good with this and I still don't have to get up the change discs like it's the 1990s! Sweet!

 

[R6Rider]

Expensive console, expensive games, expnesive controllers, paid online. What could possible go wrong.

Guess its 7th generation all over again.

Lol, none of the consoles are expensive.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

So this is how they will subsidize that $399 digital edition.

 

[Jimmyisback]

hugs game pass so fucking hard right now.

 

[Stilton Disco]

That's total bollocks, but given how much cheaper physical gets compared to digital, at least I'll have offset the extra cost of the disk version by about the 8th purchase.

 

[Business]

I think at 80eur per game they are not gonna see me around very often. 70 euros was already pushing it in Europe.

 

[BattleScar]

Oof, this is a mistake.
