Yeah I think that is right (£349/£449), which I think would be good value.
Can't wait for Sony to announce £500/£600.

Yeah, £349 would be an insane price point and think that would definitely give them the market edge over Microsoft.
Again, think they can forecast that the hit would be worth it for the profit of buying directly from them.
I'm half expecting a £549/£599 price point and everyone to get on a downer
If a PlayStation is going to cost £600 and you can get an Xbox for £250, even £450 I can’t see many PlayStations selling to many parents as a kids Christmas present.
ive no idea on prices but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just fifty quid dearer than the Xbox because it would sound more tempting. At the moment £28 a month for the series x and live and the gamepasses seems a really good deal and Sony need to atleast get near it.

Sony won’t care about the Series S. They’re not competing with that console and they won’t try to. I’d imagine the digital PS5 will be cheaper than the Series X and the disc-based one the same price or perhaps a tad more expensive. But I don't think MS have Sony worried about what to do. Their consoles will sell.
The PS5 is not going to be more than £450.
I like how Elvis says he knows nothing about it all on occasion, but every day knows how Sony feel about Microsoft
I say I don't know anything about the tech side, which I don't. I don't know what teraflops do or what a CPU and GPU does, nor do I care.
I can however speculate about how Sony are feeling and whether or not they are confident in their strategy (that said this isn't the thread for comparisons so sorry @Damien).
Official Spokesperson of Sony’s Feelings
I didn’t mean to imply they’d care about the S. just that the s is tempting to parents when the PlayStation is so far away in price and not even within tempting range. with out knowing all the in-depth ins and outs the s is seemingly being advertised as being as capable as the x.
I’m still unsure what to go for, I havnt had a PlayStation since the original and then moved to Xbox. Now I’m buying more as a parent I’d made the decision to get the x over the s as it seems a good deal.
If the PlayStation is released around the same price and deal I’d be tempted by that too, probably quite a few people in the same boat
Anyone know if there's going to be a black version in or around launch? Was looking up some images and it looks so much better, may even wait on it if it's not too far away.
Considering the 2, 3 and 4 were all black, it'd be bizarre for them not to have the option.
Racist
Yeah was thinking that it'd be quite weird for them not to. Crossing the fingers anyway
You can always buy a SSD for that amount and keep games which you dont play on that one and swap whenever you want to play them.
Don't even need an SSD for that (although it's faster so quicker transfers) I'll be using the same USB3 HDD I use on my PS4...
Nah dont think Sony or MS is going to move console production anytime soon
Apple has already started so maybe for Iphone 12 will see similar price as Western countries but progress is way too slow in this regard.
Traded my Pro in today at Game for £210 (very good price considering they don’t sell for much more used) so I am ready to go. As soon as preorders are released I am in - going for the disc console as I have some PS4 games in my back catalogue to play and I’ll also get an additional controller and the charge stand. I’ll look at the headset if it’s not an astronomical price....
How long you reckon it's gonna be at that price for?
Not very long I doubt which is why I did it now. I can wait 2 months without it (have an Xbox anyway). My plan is to keep the Xbox and trade that in on the day - I know I’ll lose £50-60 off what it’ worth now but I’ve still got Doom Eternal to play and I’m enjoying that.
Hopefully that’ll pay for most of the PS4 and I’ll either buy the Series X outright or do the All Access monthly thing. Then I’m set for another 4/5 yrs as I’ve just updated my TV so I won’t need anything more than 4K60. I most likely won’t do the iterative update when it comes in a few yrs.
There won't be a black version because it would absorb heat, and the white PS5 helps to reflect the heat back and forth inside the giant console until it dissipates. This is basic computer science, folks, I can't believe I have to explain this stuff to all of you...
I think all models will plummet in price once price and pre-orders are open for the PS5 (Possibly Wednesday's event?). Demand for PS5 will increase massively and everyone's going to be looking to sell off their consoles, thus driving down pre owned prices.
Prices on trade in or sell off will plummet soon enough, plenty will keep hold of their consoles until point of release but given the new ones are backwards compatible there is going to be a massive rush to get rid of them.
I have Death Stranding but haven't played it yet, I'm waiting on the PS5 price to see if I sell my PS4 immediately or not. Too many things to pay for this year
(house, car, home gym equipment and marriage)I have a Pro. It's not likely to drop below 100 is it? I dont have a backup console so 2 months without one for a saving of ~100 ... I dunno. Cheers for the info though cartards...
It still looks sort of generic to me, despite the beautiful environments on display in this trailer. A bit like Kingdoms of Amalur back in 2012. The gameplay would have to be near Soulsborne levels of excellence for me to even consider getting it.
Yeah I tend to agree. Some elements of the battle system look like good fun though. I just wonder if it will be one of those games that quickly loses its fun factor.
Not a game I would pay full price for I don't think, but we shall see.
Doubt it will go below £100, I would hold onto it.
Sony Cuts PlayStation 5 Forecast by 4 Million Due to Chip Woes

399$ for digital edition and 449$ for disc edition will be great prices.
PS4 sold 7m in Nov - April window. So 10m is still huge number in similar time frame.

Don’t like the sounds of that. Yeah, PS4 managed fine even though there were shortages with that too. But the amount of gamers and Sony fanboys in the last 7 years has increased, so demand should be higher with the right price. They also launched 3 months later in Japan last time. There’s a chance that it will be out in Japan at the same time as games are getting rated over there.
Looks like we going to have to fight for one Elvis. I’d take that dumb horsey and you take Pigeon.
There’ll be shortages but there always is with new consoles isn’t there (unless that console is Xbox). Just waiting for the announcement on Wednesday and then we should start hearing from retailers about pre-orders. Not panicking (yet).
Delay your purchase for fanboys Bojan. You don't need it as you are getting latest 3080 anyway.
I am buying one, so me and my good buddy Elvis can play some apex legends.
Season 6 of Apex has not been a good season for me.
My birthday is around the PS5 release date. Anyone know the best places to try and secure a preorder in the UK? Scalpers will probably have them all wrapped up when preorders open but worth a shot.
Surely amazon will have a decent stock.
I’ve always bought my tech from Argos without issue so maybe just sign up to their mailing list?
https://www.argos.co.uk/features/ps5
Same as I posted in Xbox thread.
Amazon - Probably get most stock. Returns are good, these are new consoles so faults can occur. Also might do midnight delivery.
ShopTo - Use DPD and they already let you preorder a preorder slot. Same with Base.com
Argos - Chance they do midnight delivery like they did with one x. Only downside is unlike the above two you’d probably have to pay the money straight away. Amazon and ShopTo charge you when item is going to be delivered.
Simplygames - They use DPD. But they are smaller compared to the other three, so stock will be limited.
Supermarkets - They get decent stock, but don’t know how pre order system works as never preordered a console from them. I assume you just queue up on the day and chance it. As these supermarkets want you buying some shopping with the console, so bigger queue more chance of that happening.
GAME - They will get the biggest stock with Amazon. But they will also probably force stupid bundles on people if stock is limited. You will have to pay deposit.
PC world/Currys/ - Never used any of these for consoles, so no idea. But from how their websites work if you preorder online then you will have to pay straight away. They use DPD. Should get decent stock as they a big group.
Very- Never used them. But they always on HUKD for their buy now pay later schemes with discounts.
Smythys Toys - This is more a place for Elvis.
