Potential of getting import charges slapped on maybe? I've been hit with horrendous import charges in the past.
Phison is just making controllers. So it looks like Microsoft is sourcing their controller from Phison and their NAND from Sandisk, while Sony is sourcing their NAND from Samsung (Samsung already talked about a delivering NAND for next gen consoles and showed a PS4 picture in the background). That would explain why they don't suffer from the same price hike (Samsung had an incident some weeks ago).Phison or Sandisk in Series x? Phison was devkit? or Vice versa?
Edit: Sparkman and Arden perhaps have different SSD?

But it was necessary.
If they are not 12 tf a lot will be upset, some not so much
Yep, people must remember Sony have a golden goose right now on the market named PS4, and it still has an official $249 price tag so far in the generation and a bunch of heavy hitters incoming. They must be very careful when to release info and how much, or they risk hurting their hardware/software sales even more.
thanks for your responses and those are my responses to your responses, that's what I believe.
I always try to avoid other countries where possible. Usually my first port of call is ebay to see if anyone is selling a second hand bargain of what I want. Every now and then I've used Japan for stuff that was exclusive (my SA2 10th birthday box) as an example.I've literally ordered a steel 15x10 -44 offset wheel for my spare from eBay coming from US, costing around $90. Funny thing is I paid 90 Omani rials because of the insane weight, that means $234
Stories like this don't happen. You get to see crazy footage behind closed doors, but they don't let you film it. And when it happens, for every major publisher there is always a PR person there. The day drinking part doesn't happen. A lot of devs smoke, but they keep their drinking away from the workplace. To say that "every dev I ever met day drinks" is so far from reality that it's very likely just made up. Straight out of the playing book, mix a believable story (PBR, volumetric clouds, ... all current gen technologies that are widely adopted) with some crazy ideas and give it a personal touch by bonding with a dev. All while still pretending that you want to protect your source. The source, that supposedly is the graphics lead of said game. That's very specific. And OsirisBlack's background becomes more and more strange. He claims to be an ex big guy at Gamestop that was responsible for loads of stores and has sources from back then. He isn't there anymore (and I suppose it would be easy enough to track down a person with that background) but he still has full access to Gamestop's database and knows pricing of loads of games and parts (including Hellblade 2 for PS5). He is also flying around to three developers on a biweekly basis to ask them about specs and watch their work, while not actually working as a journalist but trying to get a story published by other outlets. The whole story is a huge mess and so flawed that I would really be surprised if anything he tells us turns out to be true. Personally, I think it's all made up. Every little bit.
I feel like these articles hold just as much wait as any of us non insiders in here. Pure speculation based on same info that’s been recycled a dozen times. The journalists know as much as we do.... jack shit.
The PS5 reveal event could still take place in February
The PS5 schedule 'will not change'www.techradar.com
He says they know why the cooling is expensive, nothing else. He has probably seen the inside of a devkit already. Note how he says that he can't talk about it until they did their own teardown of PS5.BTW did you guys see Gamers Nexus' new video? Dude talks about the PS5 BOM and that they (GN) know why it's expensive but they can't talk about it
My guess? Custom RT/Custom SSD/Custom Audio solutions, especially the SSD.
You done witch-hunting dude?
That doesn't sound like it's because of the cooling. He said Bloomberg's article cites the cooling and then he goes on to say he knows why the BOM is expensive and not the cooling solution. I mean, they said it's $3 instead of <$1, that's not a big deal in the BOM.
He's talking about the cooling solution.BTW did you guys see Gamers Nexus' new video? Dude talks about the PS5 BOM and that they (GN) know why it's expensive but they can't talk about it

If it all pays off in the end there isn't really an issue, but some of these won't give them a proper edge towards XSX so they might be spending money without getting something in return.BTW did you guys see Gamers Nexus' new video?

Isn't it still $299?
What's this stupid response? It's a speculation thread. You're the one getting worked up posting all that trying hard to discredit the guy. He went through the process with
Mod of War
so stop the bs seriously. You have a problem with mods process too?
I hope it does have Ray Tracing....
So they can disable it and give us 120FPS instead.
Yea he completely lost me with that one. The whole story makes no sense at all. The free access he seems to have to the game and studio. Suddenly turning into a freelance journalist that will be ousting the source of his leaks as soon as he publishes.... Sounds like total bullshit.
Yeah I agree with you, that is why I believe Kleegamefan, I mean, he was the 1st one who said that both consoles are double digits before anyone else on the internet, and look now, Xbox Series X is 12 Navi TFs, PS5 will be as well but we still haven't seen any leaks or information about it that can confirm what he said, it will be soon though.
Link please ?BTW did you guys see Gamers Nexus' new video? Dude talks about the PS5 BOM and that they (GN) know why it's expensive but they can't talk about it

I agree. But how could Sony improve PS Now? Exclusives day 1? PS Now exclusive pc ports of their exclusives instead of streaming (maybe a year after console release)?
Nah bruh, same shit happened with the end of PS3 into the PS4 when TLOU was released and GOW! Then the remasters came!
isn't PS4 official price 299$ right now?did i miss the price drop to 249?
HeisenbergFX4
is a different kettle of fish) tells us some rough specs and tells us about a game, I'm gonna believe him more than some randoms shouting BS. 
If you think that
OsirisBlack
is lying, contact with
Mod of War
and provide evidence about your claim.Nobody this late in the game buying a PS4 had at any point considered waiting it out for PS5, so your argument doesn’t make any sense at all. Games will still work on PS5 as well so no need to wait to get them.
Since when does revealing a new console mean abandoning your previous one? Games are selling/will still sell after you announce a new console. It’s not like it’s a secret to anyone! No one stops themselves from buying games on a console to wait for the next one that might or might not bring improvements to previous gen games, and people buying PS4s for 200$ on Black Friday is t the market for a brand new 500$ PS5 so it doesn’t affect PS4 sales one bit. The hardcore forum dweller isn’t the 6 year late cheap ass console buyer who’s looking for the best deal and 10$ games in the bargain bins! No matter how big of a reveal Sony could do with PS5 right now, it wouldn’t affect TLOU2’s sales one bit!
