Yup. I don't mind paying for a more powerful system

Hard to say. Let's see what developers will do with that extra power.
If they are aiming for 60 FPS and if Games like GTA V will become a Neo Mode I am okay with 499€. If not 399€ is max.
I hope the rumors are not true that The Last of Us Remastered will be upgraded to 4K on PS4 Neo. Otherwise I have to buy another 4K TV for my parents house.

Ten bob and my best conker.
I don't know, £300-ish I suppose or a bit more if the hardware is decent. I need 7 or 8 game reasons to buy one though and currently the lineup far from that. Maybe in a year or two, so it should be cheaper by then anyway.

$400 for upgrades specs, no controller, no HDD.
$400 for leaked specs with controller/hdd.
Without knowing what games will take advantage of this thing, I'm in no rush.

Yeah I wouldn't pay more than that. The PS4 came out almost 3 years ago at $399. Shouldn't pay a premium for better specs 3 years later. If they're following the smart phone model the specs go up but the prices stay the same

$449 MAX.
Any higher and I'll just get a slim.
You know what, scratch that, $399 MAX

This is where I'm at. I bought a PS4 at launch, and I just haven't used it enough to bother upgrading. I'll just spend the money on a 1070 or whatever for my PC instead.

I have to see what kind of other smaller details get added beyond just the spec sheet, but if things go ideally for me (additions like a USB port on the back side of the console, much quieter cooling, day 1 updates to enable use of the higher specs in some more popular games, etc) then $499.99 on day 1 would be fine by me.
It needs at least 1TB. 500GB is laughable these days.

At most $299.99
Technically it's not a brand-new console, just an enhancement of an old one.

$400 for leaked specs, upwards of $500 for a CPU that isn't trash.
You're probably going to be waiting a while then. OG model is still at $350, three years after launch.

£350, £450 for a non tacky ffxv neo branded console and game bundle.
If ffxv gets a significant graphical upgrade with a neo mode then maybe I would be forced to consider £399 for the console alone.

I don't know. It would have to be less $ per teraflop than Scorpio for me to even consider it.

$399.
I think pricing the new PS4 model higher than the original price of PS4 three years ago would be a mistake. They still need to appeal to 40+ million people, if they intend to match or outsell PS2

How exactly would you know though?
$500 presuming there's nothing catastrophically wrong with their launch strategy. I'm assuming leaked specs and some fairly basic improvements to connectivity, like 802.11ac and ideally another USB port or two on the back. Decent industrial design and improved cooking would be welcome.

I'm saying $450 right now, but I know if it were $500 I'd still buy it. $450 is just where I can still be kind of okay insta-purchasing.
Ahhh more like:
PS5 - 18 TF - Fall 2020 - on 10nm FinFET
PS5 Neo - 40 TF - 2023 - on 5nm EUV
No gunna happen, just buy your own SSD.

$300 at most and it'd have to be a really big improvement over the standard model. I just a PS4 last year and I'm definitely not buying the Neo at launch.
£350 would be good for Neo, PS4 Slim might be about £250, or £220 to be really aggressive, not that they need to. I just can't see Neo releasing at a higher price than the PS4 originally did given the time that's passed and the limited amount of improvement it's bringing. Hell they might go crazy and bring it in under £350, as low as £300 would be a dream (Slim being £200 in that case).
Just ideas, no doubt I'll be wrong, but I was one of the ones who thought PS4 would hopefully be £350 while everyone was sure it would be £400 or more and I ended up being right then!
