Probably.
Going by the pics, I'm pretty sure the vertical and horizontal stand are the not the same.
On pace to pass 3DS LTD sales without any official price cut yet while 3DS received huge price cut on its first year.

That would be a steal at $60 then as a bundle, with even more the complete edition. But I already own the game.

They need to release PS5 AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. Not kidding, fucking move it Sony you cunts fuck I swear I'm tired of waiting and your competition is releasing before you move it NOW.

You should look at it differently.
Having the digital edition only cost $50 less makes it pointless to even release it.

All those prices seem incredibly cheap. Especially those controllers.

Generally speaking 399 for the digital edition is a fucking steal unless you have awful internet.
At that point not owning a PS5 is straight up self-harm imho.

My stats are launch aligned. After 3 years each 3DS sold more in Japan.
Also, by the end of it, 3DS sales were also 25 million in Japan as per my link.
So how is Switch dominating?

Excellent prices if true, which i doubt...
Will go for disk version depending on their BC policy. Ps3 or not ? ...
Plus having a br player always help.

For me, any console has to have a 4k disc drive. I've got a handful of UHD movies, but zero dedicated UHD player.
Even if MS has a digital SeX, I'm getting the disc version. Not just for the movies, but for the handful of Xbox discs I still have. I always sell/trade in my old system.

Wait. £100 difference for a Blu Ray drive? Get fucked if true.

£349 for a PS5 no way. Also why would a Dualsense be cheaper RRP than a Dualshock.
bhunachicken

Yep. To me, those prices are £50 - £100 too low.
I'd say: DE: £449, Disc: £499.
Also, Spider-Man for £29.99? Ha, doubt it. Unless it's an Infamous : First Light type affair - so, a shorter spin off.
Perhaps £39.99.

Digital Foundry did a piece on the optical drive and figured it might only save $20 overall, due to Sony buying the components in the millions.
Now, I did have another thought: optical drives allow for gamers to loan games and buy second hand titles. Since loaning and selling isn't possible with the digital edition, those buying the optical version could potentially result in lower revenue. Therefore, to make up the potential short fall, Sony add £100 to the cost. I heard a long, long time ago that Sony makes £10 - £15 on the sale of a (new) physical copy of a game, so there could something there.
Probably totally wrong, though

UHD drive blah blah... expense blah blah... I think it is a bit steep, but not outrageous by any stretch of the imagination.

$399 for the All Digital Edition and $59 for the Dual Sense (cheaper than DS4?)
No way those are real. But if they are real holy moly. That's some competitive prices.

The fact you just said "I think it is a bit steep" reenforces my statement. Cheers mush.

What's the point of releasing a second edition with only $50 difference?

Yes, in fact PS4 was released a few months later in Japan, but Sony recently stated that they were working on a simultaneous release for PS5.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Pretty much what I expected if true
Edit
Only thing that's off is there is £100 difference with the BD & Digital
And the same €\$100 difference
US Makes sense as you pay tax on top
But does Europe pay tax on top of that price?
Sorry I don't know, I know we have it included in the UK

For people wondering how it could be a $100 difference, it's not impossible that they could ameliorate the impact by people being restricted to the PS Store and sending more money straight to Sony. This is not new thinking, but to inject it into this conversation.
Whether they want a major revenue stream to be repurposed to fund a more approachable price remains to be seen, however, but its semi-plausible.
If they do end up there, though, it's the dream price point. At that point, every hardware decision makes absolute sense, and PS5 would deliver beautiful next-gen games for an accepted mainstream price.
That said, I'm going to wait for official word before getting too excited. This is prime write-fanfiction-and-pass-it-off-as-leaks season.

I'm on the side it seems too cheap, especially the all digital (even with a loss).
Honestly if they don't announce disc based Back Compatibility I would probably go all digital this gen as I have a stand alone UHD player. Game wise ive been all digital since the first few months of the PS4 launch.

$399 for DE would be great, can't imagine that the XSX will have the same price though

450 quid sounds very reasonable and a hundred pounds off for the digital version is going to sell gangbusters.
Honestly if Sony haven't gone with this pricing, then they're asking for trouble.

I am expecting a $50 difference between both models. Why would they lose so much money on the digital edition when they'll sell everything they produce for many months ?
lame gag1990

So it's okay to put the price significantly higher on a disc drive because what would be the point otherwise? Okay.
3DS
Week 173 - 29.525 LTD 15.720.727
Switch
Week 173 - 78.428 LTD 13.956.514
Difference
-1.764.213
Switch will take the lead during holiday month and lead from there without any problem as 3DS momentum fell really hard after 2014.
Use latest info next time and please educate yourself.

I thought Sony would want that 399$ moment and guide consumers towards all digital console.
The prices look good anyway, but
that vertical stand is a bit expensive and should come with the console imo. But it's always been the same way that you have to buy Playstation stand separate.

The UK prices are a bit strange. £350 for a PS5 seems ridiculously cheap, even if its for a DE. Usually we pay the US price but in pounds in recent years.

I can see Sony reconsidering PS Vita successor, something that can hit current gen consoles requirements and play all the PS4 log as close as OG PS4.
I think it's doable with all the new AMD tech around.
