Amazing price on that digital edition if it's a full fledged PS5 otherwise. It is right?

Series X looks very good up against the PS5, but Series S is a joke at this point. For $100 more, a digital PS5 is a no brainer in my opinion.

 

[semicool]

XSX(499) for xbox exclusives and multiplats and PS5 digital(399) for ps exclusives it is!

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

$399 for a 10 Teraflop/Ultra SSD Next-Gen Console!!!

 

[RoboFu]

oh yeah! that $400 digital version is fantastic!

 

[AgentP]

That Blu-Ray drive for €100/$100 more better be something truly amazing...

All digital drives up margins which pays for the loss on HW.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

PS5 is the best value console bby

 

[bitbydeath]

Sounds like Sony won on price and power!

 

[The Incarnation]

£359 digital eh. I'm all digital on PS4 anyway. Goodbye Cex.

 

[MC68000]

The price is nice Where is the damn preorder info???

 

[dorkimoe]

I believe you can pre-order already in most retails.

Nobody is doing them in the Us yet.

 

[demigod]

Told you guys a $50 discount would do nothing that's why its a $100 difference. They saw what happened with the Xbox SAD with only a $50 discount, it was not flying off shelves.

ManaByte and P prinz_valium how does the salt taste?

 

[TaylorSwiftFan]

It’s clearly not Nov 19 everywhere else. AU, NZ, JP and SK also get it on the 12th.

 

[Saber]

I had the feeling they would be that way.

But for the digital version to be that price? Sounds sweet.

I have no interest in digital version though, but sounds like a nice deal for those who love that kind of thing.

 

[Krisprolls]

That Blu-Ray drive for €100/$100 more better be something truly amazing...

That's not how it works. Sony makes tons of money if they know you'll buy 100 % digital. Remember they get a huge cut on everything you buy on PSN.

 

[BusierDonkey]

Boy was I wrong on price. Color me surprised.

 

[DemonCleaner]

disc version shouldn't be 499. argl!

Its the same console, however you are stuck buying the digital only games on the PS Store for $70+ which is a reason why i would never buy a digital only console

 

[Aceofspades]

$399 PS5 is the most value you can get for a next gen console . $299 Series S seems useless now !

 

[Arun1910]

Edit: I can't read

 

[PSNplanetcolony]

Everyone quoting $399 don't care about the disk drive all of a sudden? What happened to muh series S is going to fail with no drive crowd?

I dont think ppl cared about no disc drive. The lesser power is the concern.

 

[The Incarnation]

That Blu-Ray drive for €100/$100 more better be something truly amazing...

It goes brrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Spokker]

$400 for Digital? Why the fuck would you buy Series S? 3x weaker for $100 difference. 10.84 for TFLOPS for $400? that's fucking insane!

Series S will play the Xbox One S version of games, while PS5 digital will have the same BC as the disc PS5.

 

[Vol5]

Can't say I'm super enamoured with the pricing strategy. Feels a little like we are being pushed to an all digital future. Does a BR drive really cost a $100 dollar more? I seriously doubt it.

 

[AgentP]

Ahh yes, because moms all around are really about them console wars

Ah yes, like moms pick the console of their children. Do you have kids?

"Mom, I want a switch!"

"I bought you a Wii U, enjoy!"

 

[Hezekiah]

$400 for the Digital Edition is unreal. Don't get wrong the $600/$550 predictions were ridiculous, but this is amazing.

Xbox Series S might DOA. Why would you bother with it unless you don't intend to buy any games and just intend to survive on GamePass? Even then it looks really overpriced for what it is in comparison to a PS5.

 

[Senua]

Series S looks like a bad deal now if it didn't before when you can get a full next gen console at the same price.

Not the same price at all.

 

[Kittehkraken]

The Series S will be a big seller when it gets discounted during the Holidays like the discless Xbox One.

That said, the discless PS5 is BY FAR the best value for money in gaming. Nothing comes close.

 

[DonJorginho]

It is $499/399.
Nov 12 in America and Nov 19 every else.

Fuck keyboard lol

All that momentum from Xbox to just get buttfucked by Daddy Jim lmaoooo

 

[BaneIsPain]

Digital Edition, here I come

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Where the $550/$600 crew at?

 

[BacklashWave534]

when can i pre order damn it

Same. Never seen such a lack of info on new consoles. Previous gen went on preorder right after their conference.

 

[-Arcadia-]

Sony did it. What I said they’d need to do to shiv both Xboxes.

On top of fantastic shows and exciting games, which the competition completely lacked.

This doesn’t look good for Microsoft.

 

[TLZ]

Ooh we're getting it Nov 12!

 

[Joey.]

Great price points.
I'm having a dilemma on which to choose. Standard or DE version but I'll see closer to the day.
No pre-order info though?!

 

[ethomaz]

Nobody is doing them in the Us yet.

Just give them some time... I believe it was to be up already... let's wait the PS.Blog article.

 

[lachesis]

PS5 Pricing is really great. $399 is very aggressive, not a gimped ver like $299 Series S. $499 as toe to toe - thanks to the exclusives and loyal followers, it will do fine.

Now I'm wondering what else Microsoft would have in its sleeves? $299 for Series S and $399 for PS5... it would be a tough race. Maybe to include Gamepass for 6 month? All access model is very intriguing - and now sure how PS5's gamepass would work and how long it would take them to launch?

 

[Calverz]

Series S looks like a bad deal now if it didn't before when you can get a full next gen console at the same price.

Series S is £110 cheaper?

 

[prinz_valium]

ManaByte and P prinz_valium how does the salt taste?

It did. And the PS5 for $499 will do the same.
So it's just Sony losing $80 on each console. But I take it

 

[Shambala]

Let’s go baby. It’s over

 

[Chiggs]

Sony did it. What I said they’d need to do to shiv both Xboxes.

On top of fantastic shows and exciting games, which the competition completely lacked.

This doesn’t look good for Microsoft.

To be fair, it never did.

 

[Sybrix]

Digital Edition, here I come

But your a slave to the PS Store for games.... and its high prices!

 

[G-Bus]

So... 599 Canadian..

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

[B_Boss]

Wait no preorder date was announced right? I didn’t catch it all

 

[Skifi28]

Ahh yes, because moms all around are really about them console wars

They'll just get a one S for 199 then.

 

[fran.fernandez]

Someone need to bump that post about playstation 5 being at least 600 us

 

[Whataborman]

Wait no preorder date was announced right? I didn’t catch it all

I don't believe so, I'm hoping someone here will confirm.

 

[Hydroxy]

Good pricing. Sony must not be making much if any profit on the digital edition.

 

[bender]

Will probably still get the disc version as it's makes importing games easier. Damn you, Yakuza.
