Series X £449 in the UK
Just had an email from Smyths....UK pricing for Series X is £449.www.neogaf.com
I’m continually entertained by how many of you can’t wrap your heads around a 399.99 digital only version. Assuming the drive is 100 dollars. No you dunces. They will just take a steeper loss on a digital version because they will make it back on forced digital only purchases.
I think they were referring to the Series S.
As for those saying a €/$100 difference is not right, a 50 difference wouldn't entice anybody to buy the cheaper.
I can easily see them pushing a $399 all digital PS5 but in no way does an optical drive cost them $100 to manufacture and place in a ps5.
NO
The difference between the PS5 digital and regular PS5 vs the difference between Series S and Series X
If 399/499 is real, the regular PS5 is by far the worst SKU on the market. A total rip off.
I think they would ne absolutely "expected" to be honestThose prices would be amazing if true.
they are marking up the disc version to give you a bigger discount on the digital version.LMAO 100€ for a disk drive?
That's DOA
For 200€ extra you get 3x powerful GPU + 6GB More RAM + double SSD size + a disk drive on the Series X
GPU 3 times faster than 2080, oh you clueless victim of The Leather Man?For 200€ extra you get 3x powerful GPU
Yeah my bad, just did an online conversion at firstThat is not Euro... it is Libre in UK.
Libre is more than 1 euro.
If these prices are true:
For 499 you get
For 399 you get
- The faster console of the two top priced consoles with 15% less teraflops and double the IO speed
For 299 you get
- The same console without a disc drive
For those looking for cost benefit, the Digital PS5 would be the logical choice.
- A console thats 3x less less powerful than the most powerful with the same slower IO.

I still don't understand the "$100 blue ray player" unless the digital version ironically has less storage than the non digital version
Want to put a bet on it?
I'll bet my account on GAF if you bet yours:
Between the PS5 and the Xbox Series X you will see the same performance with a 0 to 20% difference in resolution or some effects toned down on the PS5 (negligible), and faster load times on the PS5. FPS will roughly be the same, I expect they may be less stable on the PS5. The PS5 will have the better looking exclusives and will load exclusives way faster than the Xbox will load theirs.
Deal?
That's pretty stupid comparison, because Apple isn't selling iPhones with loss on every phone.And again...
Apple priced the iPhone 6 16GB at 649 and the iPhone 6 64GB at 749. The memory alone is not worth the 100$ (more like 10 or 20), but they priced it that much lower because they wanted to sell the lower memory phone and then sell the consumer iCloud storage.
Not going to happen I don't think. I'm willing to take an avatar bet on that.Based on the PS4 launch price that means
£349 for the Digital Edition
£449 for the Disc Edition
As a UK gamer I can tell you now that Disc Edition needs to be £400 max
Those prices aren't gonna fly
you should bet an xbox series s not your gaf account
Crazy the disk version is as expensive as the XSX
Maybe MS sells at 50 forever discount like Xbox One and Xbox One X.€399 would be too good to be true to be honest. €100 on top of €299 and you've got more than double the power of the Series S. Bang for your buck comparison would be too good at that price. I hope it's true though.
That's pretty stupid comparison, because Apple isn't selling iPhones with loss on every phone.
Sony needs to balance things out, because even at 499$ the will be selling PS5 with loss. And with 399$? That loss would be monumental.
Just realise, how much HW Microsoft shaved for Xbox Series S (less and slower RAM, half of SSD capacity, 32 less CU and less expensive cooling), priced it at 299 and they are still selling it at a loss.

I see you are a man of culture too. Just idiots pay the "official" (more like over abused) price in the stores here in Brazil. I live close by to Foz, making the deal a no brainer for me.I have a friend that may be in the US at the time of release that said he could bring me one...
So it's that or going on a trip to Foz do Iguaçu with a couple of friends early next year when hopefully covid subsides.
Grab a PS5 in Paraguay, check the town and fly back home, a weekend should be more than enough.
For those unaware, people are selling PS4 Pro for around $740 here lately.
they would probably be taking a loss but make the money back quickly since all games have to be purchased on the playstaytion store where they get a way bigger cut of the game sold.$399 for all digital would be huge! they are either breaking even at that price point or losing money.
I live in NL. It says RUMORED to be 399 and 499. Read/translate the whole page before getting hyped!

What do you mean?Gamereactor also said its sources told them Xbox Series x was 599
This comment won't age well
if they only made it 20,30,50 bucks cheaper everyone would neglect it. Now if you make that number 100 bucks off thats way more enticing for the customer. Especially in future generations they probably want consumers to be going digital more to cut out the middle men when selling games. Now you have a console with the same specs as the disc version but 100 dollars off.I still don't understand the "$100 blue ray player" unless the digital version ironically has less storage than the non digital version
arent the ppl in europe getting scammed then? or they pay less tax?
Release date and prices
The price is also still unknown. Rumor has it that it varies by version. For example, the digital version of the PS5 would cost € 399 and the normal version € 499.
Since Sony has not made any official announcements yet, it is still speculation what it will actually cost.
this man gets it, you get a digital console much like the SS, but way more power that matches the disc version of the ps5 for only 100 dollars more of the SS. You may as well put that money down (100 bucks) and go with the more powerful system in the PS5DEWhat do you mean?
IF PS5D is 399 you'd have to be a moron to roll with Xbox SS

Possible.Maybe MS sells at 50 forever discount like Xbox One and Xbox One X.
250 euros for S is not a bad deal.
AMD over time reduce the prices of components. I not saying will be close or less longer than PS4, but maybe 2 years or more Sony could get profit selling hardware.
The point is if Sony really want to take that loss like PS4 have. BTW, when PS4 was launch Sony didn't even have those 'online' programs for making profit and reduce the impact of the hardware loss like he have today. Playstation Now for example.
Its up to them.
