Let’s go baby. Sony bout to go $299 and $399
Plot Twist, it was all a ploy to make sony reveal its price and then MS undercut it.

Hope. A more likely price is $549 and $499. The PS5 disc version is actually a different design. Its not the same case with a disc slot in it. It even requires a different base.Competitive price especially when a lot of people (including me) have been seriously considering the GTX 3XX series upgrade instead of a console. I just don't have the means to have two consoles and a PC at this time. It'll probably be a console + PC.
Side note: Can anyone explain the logic in the posts where people think there will be a $100 or more difference between the PS5 and the PS5 DE?
Lmao man then we gonna get some free systems this gen if they go any lowerPlot Twist, it was all a ploy to make sony reveal its price and then MS undercut it.
Why are people thinking that this and the other leak are official announcements? LolThis is how it's getting announced?
FFS.
I don’t know. That SSD is kind of a premium component.I can't imagine Sony ever launching at $599 again. I also can't imagine the component prices are drastically different in the two boxes.
I think they believe a Blu Ray drive (which Sony owns) is gonna cost them $100.Competitive price especially when a lot of people (including me) have been seriously considering the GTX 3XX series upgrade instead of a console.

They just need to match and they are home free. It’s a Sony.Let’s go baby. Sony bout to go $299 and $399
Yea broke with all those billions they make from digital and subscription salesSony will go broke in 2 years at that price. Microsoft will push these boxes with GamePass subs. Phil has Satya Nadella by the short hairs. Satya will write a check for anything that gets him that sweet ARR.

$100 less for the removal of a disc drive that costs probably $10, while requiring a different case to be manufactured too? Nah. $50 cheaper max.pretty much confirms ps5 disc 499 and digital 399 (the sweet spot combo of tech and price imo).
I wish that was true, but it's probably going to be 599 & 499
Sony Execs on the phone right now after hearing MS price and release date:
Well neither has laid out their list of launch titles officially - these are just the few we know of so far that the developers themselves have mentioned are launch titles.Damn that list thinned out at record pace
Lmao man then we gonna get some free systems this gen if they go any lower
Taking a 150 dollar plus loss not a problem? The BOM is 450-550 plus shipping and retail cut. Why would the undisputed market leader with super mindshare need to under cut anyone with limited supply lol.I am worried about this gen pricing.Series X price isn't that special as many point it to be given the small launch line up and lack of gameplay. Series S is a mystery still. I mean 299 for a console that is a slight upgrade from the Xbox One X?
This will sure leave room for Sony. They can go with a 399/499 pricing and still win next gen launch. If they want to be aggressive I can't see how 349/449 combo could be a problem for them.
Is this the first time in console history where a date and price have been set for a console and yet have havent shown games running on it yet?
Thinking 399 digital
And 499 disc
Reason they can go 399 digital is because there is no middle man taking a cut of their game profits like walmart, gamestop etc. They get all the money from purchases on the store, meaning they can have a lower digital price and make it up in software. Sony this gen alone sold more software then ms and nintendo combined.
Because they can mindshare. Why can Toyota charge more than Kia?
Hope. A more likely price is $549 and $499. The PS5 disc version is actually a different design. Its not the same case with a disc slot in it. It even requires a different base.
I wouldn't be surprised if the disc edition is limited quantities...by a lot.
First time ever as far as I know
The digital edition prob has backcompat with the digital games you have in your library if any.Yep. Considering there's no real backwards compatibility I'm just going to hold onto my PS4 and get the all digital for convenience sakes.
That’s true, but when you have 90% of the same games as your competitor, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea especially if they plan on selling a lot of PS5’s. Exclusives do definitely help, but the majority of casuals care mostly about third party games Microsoft having them available at a cheaper price could be pretty dangerous for Sony.
I don’t know. That SSD is kind of a premium component.
I'm sure the fact that it came out in the 11th hour of the current generation, wasn't advertised much by Microsoft, stores had limited stock, and the naming made people confused about not being able to play discs - those things had nothing to do with it.Explain the Xbox One S All Digital Edition.
They could limit the production volume of digital edition to be 1/10 of of disc version during the 1 st year. They get the PR and the enthusiasts gonna grab any SKU on the shelf anyway.Taking a 150 dollar plus loss not a problem? The BOM is 450-550 plus shipping and retail cut.

One s will likely be priced down to $150-200 and the one x was discontinued over a month ago.How does MS price the Xbox One and One X, now?
Xbox One S (MSRP) $299.99How does MS price the Xbox One and One X, now?
I don’t think they ever planned on launching at anything less than $499, the question is, would Microsoft launch at $599 and shoot themselves in the foot? They clearly haven’t done that here, and are playing it relatively smart. Sony’s move can’t be anything higher than $499, and it won’t be. Not just because of the Series X price but because of the market (and their past experiences, obviously).The console is only something like 450 to build with a 4k drive and there's already nvme SSDs that are launching that are faster than what's in the PS5 so I expect the cost for that to start coming down.
The only way they're launching at 399/499 is if they're willing to eat cost and that's a judgement call on their part.

Sony seems to have more third party licnesing deals meaning more marketing and exclusive content =That’s true, but when you have 90% of the same games as your competitor, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea especially if they plan on selling a lot of PS5’s.

I’ve never had dust build up on the top vents of my launch Xbox One.I don’t know how I feel about that vent set-up. I like how it looks more traditional for a console, but that just looks like a huge vulnerability to dust build up
How does MS price the Xbox One and One X, now?
Yes, those in manufacturing, will know that PS5DE does not make financial sense as the other half a new product launch.
Im still in PS5 will be in the 499-599 range.
It is so strange Sony has been silent on the final hardware
I'm sure the fact that it came out in the 11th hour of the current generation
Wasn't advertised much by Microsoft, stores had limited stock
and the naming made people confused about not being able to play discs

There is no way in hell they would live that 599 nightmare againI can see $499/$599 ps5 but now Sony might do $449/499 with their own store finance option.
