So is this PS5 price and release date being announced tonight or just false rubbish?
Seems like bullshit. Everyone was pointing towards August event announcement. But who knows may come sooner as I’m sure retailers are pushing Sony so they can start officially take preorders. Gamestop and GAME need the preorder money badly to get people back in their shops again.

Those Amazon pages have been up for a while in various regions.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has raised initial production orders for PlayStation 5 from the roughly six million units it planned in spring to around nine million units, according to a Nikkei report citing “sources familiar with the matter.”

Back in April, Bloomberg reported a PlayStation 5 production outlook of five to six million units by March 2021. Now, a new Bloomberg report corroborates Nikkei’s report of increased production orders, noting an intention to produce up to 10 million units by the end of 2020, which it states is in response to the increased demand brought about by the spread of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

PlayStation 5 is due out this holiday.

Update 1:45 a.m.: Bloomberg’s English report provides a few additional details:

  • Even with a boost to manufacturing, Sony may still be unable to put enough units on store shelves during the holiday season due to shipping constraints.
  • Sony previously advised suppliers that it would require 10 million units of the DualSense controller, but is now increasing that number to match the console’s new production outlook.
  • Mass production of PlayStation 5 began in June. Sony expects to assemble five million units by the end of September and another five million between October and December.

I didn’t even know he worked for them!
He can get you a discount on the series x. That goes for anybody else just PM him and he’d give you a code that you can use on the Microsoft store when preorders launch.

:lol: Even if this were true I’ve zero interest in the console!
Oh we’d see about that next Thursday when the night of mic drops happens. You’d come running back and I’d get @Alock1 to give you expired codes. Also watch out for him at the conference next week he’d be appearing.

Why are you still here? Swear, I saw a thread title saying you are leaving. Got excited. Just shows I got to read your boring ass agenda driven threads for the full story. Wish your buddy @evil_geko did the same with games by playing them first.

And your mutt stinks.

Sony should leak a £750 price. Then a few days later officially announce the price as £450 and everyone will think its a bargain :D

Will it just be him fondling the controller for 20 mins or will he play an actual game with it?

Is that rumoured black and red console true?
I doubt it as red lights on consoles have a negative connotation and the promotional material where the black and red PS5 was seen had been photoshopped as you could still see the original white on the controller.

There will be different colours down the line but don't expect anything for launch.

Damn was hoping it was true. My hands are quite oily, so it's going to be a disaster on the white controller.
