Yes but taxes are included in prices shown in France, meaning you pay what you see. In the US the price will be $499.99 +tax of the state/county you live in, which will be close to $550.

There just isn't any historical precedent for it. I'd be down for that though. I've bought like 2 physical games this gen and my lazy ass laments every time I need to get up to put the disc in.

Mr. Community
Didn't the ceo say in an interview that both SKUs are equal besides the disk?

I think a 100€ difference is too much. At 499€ for the disk version Sony is already losing money.
399€ would be an incredibly aggressive move, and extremely unlikely.
They are both PS5, yes. Unless you meant something else? Only the price will be different.

Agreed. I see $499.99 disc and $449.99 digital.
More than that will be a tough sale for me. I can easily afford more, but it's kind of a mental barrier as I've never paid more than $399.99 for a console. Going more than $100 over that feels wrong as someone that doesn't care that much about graphics these days and is just forced to upgrade to keep playing new exclusives. Even more so if the launch window/year is as thin on games I want to play as the PS4/X1 were.

Sony has taken a loss on previous iterations of PlayStation; this wouldn't be a new course of action.

Yup, I think it’s better to take a 100 euro loss and start thinking about volume that you sell with a lower price , but for most old CEO’s this is a alien concept .

If you look at the pic carefully, you can see the disc slot on the bottom right.

kinda what I expected if true. and yeah, that's a normal version with the disc drive, which I would buy in a heartbeat on that price. I don't think Sony will want to repeat that whole $599 ordeal ever again to be honest. at least I hope not.

Jim Ryan did say in that CNN interview right after the Event a few days ago that Sony started intense discussions with their retailer partners, so I expect that we will see quite a few more major retailers putting placeholders for the PS5 and its estimated price online within the next few days. You can then make a pretty smart estimate of what the launch price will be, and right now everything seems to be pointing to a $499 launch (as for which system, we will have to wait and see - but I do expect it to be $499 for the disk version).

I'm fairly inexperienced when it comes to online marketing/shopping and such. Does anybody know if we can deduce a potential preorder opening timeframe from the fact that amazon FR, UK and DE are already listing the product? Do preorders usually start like 2 days after, or could it still be months away from now?

The US govt will probably have another stimulus check thrown out before these are out though.

Ryan already said the digital one is 100% the same except for the disc drive, there isn't any other differences. The digital one is there to offer a lower priced alternative. I'm going with the digital one, I haven't bought a physical disc in years. I would love larger storage but I already have an external SSD on my PS4 so I'll just swap games back and forth from there. I do think there is a SLIGHT chance they knock $100 off the price of the digital console because every game will be purchased digitally so they'll get a larger chunk of each game sold that way, people who buy digital are also likely to be higher volume buyers so it would not only be just a matter of selling a few games to make that money back but the person who is locked in and not able to trade games in etc is going to continue to be a part of the PlayStation ecosystem and paying for PS+ for years to come.

No way in hell is this releasing at 400.
Will be 500-600. If they offer a version with more storage then that could be 700.

If true this basically confirms $499 for the standard model. Digital edition has to be $449.
Also, to the guy who said he would eat my ass if it's anything less than $599, get ready. I'll provide you with some condiments of your choosing.

It will be interesting if they both cost the same.
With rumblings of a "S" version, a price war might be upon us - great for all gamer's.

Believable, at least.
That’s a harsh price tag for the Euro crowd, though, even without taking the consequences of Covid-19 into account.

So if we convert it to dollars 499.99 euro to $ is $561.99 and thats before tax.

Doesn’t make sense. Larger SSD would mean a much larger SSD (twice the size to be exact), which would make the digital version PS5 by far the more expensive one. It would be a piss poor value proposition..
The point is to make it 50€(At least) cheaper, knowing they will make much more money from that user than the typical user who buys physical.
How would that be interesting? It would be nonsense.

Jim Ryan already confirmed that the only difference between the two models is the Blu-Ray disc drive. No extra storage for digital version.

What a stupid question to ask, use your head or at least try.
Why are companies competitive, what can you as a consumer possibly gain from price drop(s) or aggressive pricing?

Considering the post you were replying to, it seemed you were implying that it would be interesting if the digital and the disk version were to be the same price.
Hence why I asked.
