It's already cost me $2000. Had to get a TV for it

I'm guessing between $1 and $700

 

[SaturnSaturn]

599-799

somewhere in that price range

 

[Bo_Hazem]

PS5 $499-449
PS5DE $399-349

Digital edition 349-399 OG edition 449-499. They will NOT price it high if they're expecting a quicker transition from PS4 TO PS5 which they have mentioned as well as being in the midst of a global pandemic and incoming recession.

 

[Miles708]

I'm gonna go with:
- 449 €/$ for the digital version
- 549 €/$ for the normal one.

Just like Xbox I’m going high so not disappointed.

$699 disc
$639 disc less

a Blu-ray drive cost almost nothing don’t see why it would be much cheaper.

 

[Michael Hawk]

Digital Edition = $549.99
Disc-Version = $599.99
Controller = $79.99

That's actually quite a good marketing strategy, to artificially boost the digital version with a wide price difference (and at the same time have an "excuse" for an even pricier version), while the real actual cost to Sony remains negligible either way.

It's a pretty intelligent strategy indeed.
I hate it.

399 and 499 for the two skus.

also expecting them to do a similar contract thing like Xbox do.

It's quite simple really. The profit margin on digital games vs physical is higher so taking a loss on a digital only box provides more of a return.

I predict Sony aim to have a lower price for the physical version of PS5 compared to Xbox Series X. Which is why Sony keeps a low profile at the moment. Almost immediately after Microsoft officially announces the price for their new console, Sony will announce the price and release date for PS5.

In the end I think the price will be:
Physical: 599
Digital: 499

what if they went the other way, give more ssd space on the digital and charge more for it and the disc one is the cheaper...
