- Thread starter VinFTW
- Start date
People talking down financing options should take a look at the reality of many Covid-affected economies.
Is there any reason all of us have to watch you try to incite a pointless tit for tat here?
In most cases, they are really bad for the end consumer.
Well that'd be a Switch for sure.
It's not how any of this works.
$100 less would be aggressive, and would be Sony subsidizing the box because they lock you into their digital ecosystem. They don't price the digital edition to be profitable off hardware alone. Hell, they don't even do that on the base model.
The digital edition is a trojan horse for locking users to the PlayStation Store, which turns said customers into highly profitable ones by comparison. And it also has the secondary purpose of providing a cheaper entry point into the next-generation, to support Sony's goal of transitioning people to next-gen at a faster rate than prior. It has a dual reason to be subsidized, and so it is.
For sure And yea I was jk but idk.. at times I think some people really wanted to be right more than anything with that pricing, they got very very digging their heels in over it for some reason. Anyway moot point now, $599 felt like nonsense and I'm glad it turned out to be
I am so unsure of what to do nextgen lol. That $299 is so tempting to be set for a few years and save myself a LOT of money with games pass.
I am literally torn between PS5, Series S, and a 3080...Right now i'm giving a LOT of thought into going with a Series S and then jumping in later with an eventual PS5 Pro. I just don't know if i can go 2-3 years without playstation tho. If PS5 does come in at $399 then i think i just go with that from the jump.

Honestly, it's smart but I also worried that because the financing options were there that the price would be higher than expected - at least for Series X. Glad to see that's not the case and this is really just another access point for people.
The custom PS5 SSD is the most expensive part next gen of everything
Wow I might actually get the Xbox Series S + PS5 (the one with disc slot).
$299 price point is so tempting
$299 price point is so tempting
$499 USD right now would be a $649 Canadian price tag. With sales tax in Ontario that would push it to $740. That's... a lot still.
I wasn't planning on buying an Xbox console as I just built a new PC but that price on the S is tempting just for the backward compatibility option.
I think I'll get Series S at launch because I'm so desperate for a Game Pass machine, and then grab the PS5 sometime within the following year or two as a more powerful option, depending on when something comes out for it that I really want to play. I'm definitely liking having a cheaper entry system.
No. That's already confirmed for subscribers with Game Pass Ultimate.
It's likely a version of EA Play.
Then... how would that make it more expensive?
Also, knowing by past mistakes, I'm pretty sure Sony isn't stupid enough to put it out at $600.
I think X Cloud was already talked about as part of it all eventually by MS, no?
Probably the EA Access being integrated with GP in some way as people were guessing.
Prices are great! This is all exciting!
But it's f'n hilarious that after ALL the weirdness between Sony and Microsoft with revealing any information, that this is being "revealed" at 11:30ish pm on Labor Day night.
Edit: Fully expecting $399 digital and $499 standard for PS5 now. Really happy that Microsoft put this "pressure" on Playstation.

If it means someone who really wants one can now get one, that's a good thing.
Not what it is. I was actually on his side in thinking that they wouldn't launch this year. I'm genuinely curious for his take on this, it's very much out of almost nowhere.
How the heck can they make this any better, next thing we know Sony exclusives are gonna be on gamepass.
It really isn't. It has a custom controller that they designed in house and uses the same flash mem as the XSX SSD. Since it uses less chips (only 825GB), it probably costs about the same.
The All-Access is like a monthly payment plan? if so for how many months? what would the final cost be (if any) over just buying it upfront?
