Damn, if the price is like that (not saying this is true) - it could be like the PS3...hopefully it wont take me as long to buy it.


Cause I bought my PS3 - five years after its release cause of the initial price, longest I waited out for a console - bought it for a sweet $300.

As others have said fake or a placeholder, though wouldn't be shocked if the price and release are close to that.

There has been literally every single store tossing some random price in the last couple of days...

Have we also forgotten about the whole Amazon PS5/PC fiasco?

If the said price is actually that it will be because of a coincidence of guessing rather then actually being leaked.

We likely won't know the price until August.

What does Sony actually have to gain to tell retailers the price before the official public announcement? Any storefront can just use a placeholder price and change it later as needed. They just need a store page so they can start taking preorders.

I think this could be the real numbers. Amazon France quickly changed it to a placeholder date of 12/31. It also lists the PS5 at 4.78 kg, so the thing is a chonky boy

We know it's not going to be 400$ and we know it's not going be 600$ this is the easiest price to guess this gen it's going to be 500

They're just guessing it, they will cancel pre-orders if it's more expansive. Speaking from experience here, haha.

I don't think even Sony knows the price yet, they're probably waiting on Microsoft and seeing how this COVID19 situation turns out.

I just do not think retailers know the price yet. Sony has an event in August, its down as a state of play, but I think it will be more of a part 2 reveal.

There are a number of reliable people saying Sony has a few big titles to show. Show these titles and the price/release date.

It's probably a placeholder but also probably the right price.
This is pretty much it.
But this thread is as good as any to ask: Do we expect the Digital Version to be cheaper? If so, by how much? Asking because I honestly have no idea how expensive or not it is to install a 4k BD drive in a mass manufactured box.

Seems like a realistic price even for a placeholder. I think the Digital version will be 399 or 449 but I have a feeling it will be 399. They want their customers completely bound to the PSN.

The way they've been talking about it and how it's essentially the same machine, I don't think they're pitching it as a significantly cheaper option.

I reckon it'll be $499 for the standard and $449 for the digital version. Unfortunately for us in the UK I think that's going to equate to £499 and £449.
