Not to get political or whatever, but the cost of groceries in general have been on the rise in the states.wait is Food this expensive in the US? 2 bags of doritos for 10 ?
that's why electronics are so cheap there

What success????? LOLMuch like many devs, Sony is scares of the XSS success, it seems.
Clearing stock for the revision I'd guess. They also line up the price-points with a $399 "slim". This model has to be in deep manufacturing at the moment and I wonder when photos of it will leak.
In addition, I think I'll lower my price prediction of the disk drive add-on to that of a Dualsense, instead of $99.
Exactly.June record was without the price drop?
What if there is `no` PS5 slim in the traditional sense?The Slim model seems imminent. This is the first rumor that I totally believe it’s true.
With the release of a slim, we can say goodbye to SE covers. I guess Slider-Man 2 will be the first and last. Hopefully I get to find the black ones at least (for the DE) before they get discontinued.
Hopefully the Slim model looks cool. If the disc-drive add-on is true, I wonder how many people will prefer to stay digital instead of getting it separately (whether due to laziness, money, or whatnot).
PS5 hasn't been supply constrained since November of 2022.It’s unheard to me that they actually dropped the price of a console even if it’s temporary they can barely keep on the store shelves even nearly 3 years later. Yeah, there must something else coming(Pro and Slim) and I’m guessing they are clearing out inventory.
Why would they discontinue covers? They are a cheap way to sell high margin accessories. They'll just make new covers that complement the different size of the console. This is assuming the new PS5 has a drastic size decrease, which Henderson doesn't believe to be so.With the release of a slim, we can say goodbye to SE covers.

They already have a 399 “slim”. It’s called the Digital Edition.Clearing stock for the revision I'd guess. They also line up the price-points with a $399 "slim". This model has to be in deep manufacturing at the moment and I wonder when photos of it will leak.

Yep, Food prices are ridiculous, and inflation is only smaller part of it. Stores have been jacking up prices.Not to get political or whatever, but the cost of groceries in general have been on the rise in the states.
What if the Slim is just the PS5 DE, but a new revision of it that gives it a disc drive bay

I went to the mall yesterday, lots of PS5 available so no such thing as supply constraint.It’s unheard to me that they actually dropped the price of a console even if it’s temporary they can barely keep on the store shelves even nearly 3 years later. Yeah, there must something else coming(Pro and Slim) and I’m guessing they are clearing out inventory.
Don't get me wrong, I am fully in team slim. Just thinking about an alternative possibility. I could see the slim just being the current DE, albeit a different version of it. One that allows you to slide in/snap on a disc drive attachment (to be sold separately). I mean if I saw something like that I am saying I won't be surprised. A lot of shrinking would have to be done to everything else in that DE PS5 to allow for something like that.I don’t think so. Right now they could just get rid of the disc PS5 and just allow an external disc-drive to be connected to the DE. However, I believe that a new model would be significantly smaller (maybe even their excuse to get rid of the disc drive in the first place).
Well yes, but this is all on the assumption that whatever design they go with on the new SKU wouldn't also use some sort of covers too?Because they won’t sell accessories for a console they no longer produce. It happened with the original PS4. They stopped selling the replacement covers (they used to sell them in different colors, although mostly in Japan)
TMI...I went to the mall yesterday, lots of PS5 available so no such thing as supply constraint.
Still didn't bother to get one.
Nah I don't see it. They'll just wind down the production of the old covers while increasing the production of the new ones. This again assumes that the two consoles are in such a big difference in size that new covers will be needed, which could also not be the case.Because they won’t sell accessories for a console they no longer produce.

Is the Dualsense price drop permanent or just a sale?The dualsense also got a nice $20 price cut there.
Just a sale for the dualsense, they've also reduced price of first party games.Is the Dualsense price drop permanent or just a sale?
and like someone else was asking, what happens to the digital edition price?
I just bought one for 199$. It was a bit smaller than I imagined and the controller doesn't have the classic Dualshock design, which is disappointing, but I guess Sony wanted something different this generation. Anyway, for 199$ it's a pretty crazy bargain I must say. Very happy with this purchase, I've wanted a PS5 since it released almost 3 years ago. Looking forward playing all the great exclusives on it.
Yeah, here in Latin America, that's about as much as we pay for that.it has been everywhere
in 2021 a bag of 185gr of doritos is 1,70 euro now it's 2,70 euro
