$499 and $599 is my prediction. A price matched and a premium system is a very good message for them going forward.
PS5: Best exclusives
PC: Best third parties and Xbox exclusives versions
It always is.Curious, is the financing option subject to a credit check?
My prediction is $399 digital PS5 and $499 full PS5.
Sony can match Xbox's price and still feel like they can sell more.
Except really the only lingering question is whether or not Sony's machine somehow costs that much more than the XSX or if Microsoft is actually selling that thing at an enormous loss.
You people seriously need to stop saying this.
The general public does not view this as DLC, it's Spiderman. It is huge to have this for launch and it will sell a lot of copies.
Sony's VP head of European Business, Simon Rutter told The Telegraph: "I guess you could call it an expansion and an enhancement to the previous game.
Until EPIC comes along and sues MS and SONY for having closed ecosystems...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.
Well, with All Access, there's a chance that could be more expensive. But I think that Sony will do a deal like that, with Plus and Now or something. Still good thouThat’s decent pricing. Glad to see the XSX is not going for $600.
All eyes on Sony’s pricing.
No brainer for mums.
Looks like they had a video ready before retailers were sick of them fucking around?
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.
- Average Joe
- 2nd home console for kids
- New customers not familiar with XBOX
- Existing XB1 (S) owners
- Cheap ass gamers
Oooooo were holding out for months and months and...ok fine you guessed the prices months ago we admit itWorst-kept secrets ever.
An optical drive is considered premium now?$499 and $599 is my prediction. A price matched and a premium system is a very good message for them going forward.
And MS last minute can announce a $449 price for XSX to sell more units. MS has the money to hedge that. Sony doesn't. This may be a strategy to bait Sony to announce price so they can do that.
I think if anything it would push the digital lower (I think they always wanted $499 for the regular one) because they can explain to their accountants and shareholders that the long term profits of cutting out the retail cut and keeping prices higher on PS store and no used games and higher chance of Now and Plus purchases can justify a bigger loss on all digital hardwareThinking Sony goes $449/499.
It's standalone Spiderman DLC artificially held off last gen systems so they can say they have a launch game. Let's not get too excited.You people seriously need to stop saying this.

Don't see the term "DLC" anywhere here. Don't know who to believe, some random dude on GAF or the people who actually worked on the game.It's standalone Spiderman DLC artificially held off last gen systems so they can say they have a launch game. Let's not get too excited.

The original didn't sell tens of millions and it wasn't locked on a brand new console.Any proof it can run the same on last gen systems?
And I'm saying it being "DLC" doesn't matter to the casual because it's Spiderman. It's going to sell tens of millions. And "DLC" or not, it's going to be one the best looking next gen games just like Ratchet and Clank is.
Funniest part of the trailer for series s is when they pushed "all digital platform" as a selling point when all it really means is they took the disc drive out lolAn optical drive is considered premium now?

Sony has put their systems at greater losses before and they're in a much better position as an overall company than when PS4 launched to take a greater loss. Especially in gaming where ps4 is raking in massive profit and will continue to do so during this launch period when they'd be taking losses on ps5 hardwareAnd MS last minute can announce a $449 price for XSX to sell more units. MS has the money to hedge that. Sony doesn't. This may be a strategy to bait Sony to announce price so they can do that.
...No. I'd say there's practically no way this even outsells the original unless it's very competitively priced.It came out in 2018 and has sold 13.2 million as of last year. In 7 years this couldn't do 20 million?
It could certainly be a piece of a premium package. There's nothing to say they can't include a few extra months of PlayStation Plus, exclusive skins, discounts, etc. on some kind of launch edition box. Of course, all of that messaging goes away if it's the exact same price as XSX.An optical drive is considered premium now?
I think Sony can go more expensive at launch and still sell better. Microsoft lost their killer app Halo until next year.
It wouldn’t have been handled as an afterthought, especially when it involved debuting a new device SKU.I'd like to know how you would have designed the most fantastic price reveal ever.
Biggest issue, though: MS/Xbox could have handled this any other way. But evidently hardware is entirely an afterthought and being treated as such.It fits in with how the rest of 2020 has been unfortunately.
Not in a millions years. Bet the digital is the same price as the series x and the regular ps5 is 100$ more.Let’s go baby. Sony bout to go $299 and $399
Nintendo: Best exclusives
PC: Best everything else
I 100% agree with this comment.PS5 at 599, digital 549
Someones gonna have to pay for that fancy new ssd and over the top new controller.Why would the PS5 cost more?
