Yeah I'd expect at least a £100 difference otherwise what's the point as you say.For people who think it'll be £449 and £499, I think there's no chance.
Sony have the opportunity to create an incentive for people to buy solely from them and get all the profit, rather than through other sales/second hand sellers.
If there's a £50 difference in price, I definitely won't get the digital version, as it's not really worth the savings in comparison to being locked into Sony's store, whereas if there's a £100 difference, I will definitely be considering getting digital.
...£350 & £450
Yeah I think that is right (£349/£449), which I think would be good value.
Yeah, £349 would be an insane price point and think that would definitely give them the market edge over Microsoft.Yeah I think that is right (£349/£449), which I think would be good value.
Can't wait for Sony to announce £500/£600.
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.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.
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 like how Elvis says he knows nothing about it all on occasion, but every day knows how Sony feel about Microsoft
Official Spokesperson of Sony’s FeelingsI 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).
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.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.

RacistConsidering the 2, 3 and 4 were all black, it'd be bizarre for them not to have the option.
Yeah was thinking that it'd be quite weird for them not to. Crossing the fingers anywayConsidering the 2, 3 and 4 were all black, it'd be bizarre for them not to have the option.

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.I'm hoping there's a larger storage already included version e.g. a 1.5 TB edition, even if that's £200 extra, I'll be getting that.
Running out of space has been my biggest annoyance of current gen.
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...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.
Nah dont think Sony or MS is going to move console production anytime soonSame in Brazil and Australia according to resetera
PS4 launched in Brazil at nearly $2000. Its one of the reasons Xbox does well there. The price you got for a S is how much nearly a X would cost here. How much is the X over there?
Will it change once more companies start making stuff in India? There’s quite a few that are moving away from China to India.
How long you reckon it's gonna be at that price for?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....
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.How long you reckon it's gonna be at that price for?
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...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.
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.How long you reckon it's gonna be at that price for?
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)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.
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.It still looks sort of generic to me, despite the beautiful environments on display in this trailer.

Doubt it will go below £100, I would hold onto it.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...
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.Sony Cuts PlayStation 5 Forecast by 4 Million Due to Chip Woes

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).Don’t like the sounds of that.

Looks like we going to have to fight for one Elvis. I’d take that dumb horsey and you take Pigeon.
Delay your purchase for fanboys Bojan. You don't need it as you are getting latest 3080 anyway.Don’t like the sounds of that. Yeah, PS4 managed fine even though there were shortages with that too.

I am buying one, so me and my good buddy Elvis can play some apex legends.Delay your purchase for fanboys Bojan. You don't need it as you are getting latest 3080 anyway.
Maybe just not my style of game but this looks proper boring and generic.
