As expected. $399 was never realistic, $599 would be DOA.

Let's see what Sony does. They really have to be at $499 too I think, and $399 for the DE (which will make that look like a REALLY good deal next to the XSS).

 

[NullZ3r0]

This combo gonna fuck shit up this holiday. I can see a black box and a white one. Both looking clean as hell on the shelves.

Imagine Sony announce the PS5 at 399$

With Jim Ryan spouting "value" I highly doubt it. They'd be taking a massive hit.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Can you order one from Microsoft without that stupid financing?

With Jim Ryan spouting "value" I highly doubt it. They'd be taking a massive hit.

They will be eating it hard at 499. I still expect to see 549 disk, 499 DE.

 

[Fart Knight]

499 dayONE

 

[FunkMiller]

Frightened Sony can now announce their prices... embarrassing for Sony that they always have to wait for others to go first.

Posts like this... will not age well.

 

[dyergram]

So expecting £400 UK.

Think that's a fair price point. Balls up to Sony now.

No chance ms prices are always higher in uk if anything.

 

[danielJackson]

That will be 499-599€, not too tempting

 

[jshackles]

Can you order one from Microsoft without that stupid financing?

Yes but not until September 22nd.

 

[Troozi]

£250/£450 seems pretty strong from Microsoft, considering how powerful it is.

You imagine Sony will try to undercut them on the standard PS5 now, could it be as low as £400.

I personally want the digital only PS5, and I could be tempted with the Series S with gamepass... if they realise any games that interest me.

 

[Jooxed]

3090 announced.
Xbox announced.
Just one more to go...

Yup, the switch pro. Can't think of anything else.

 

[NullZ3r0]

Now it's up to you, Sony.

Are they going to pull a 2013?

Sony didn't pull a 2013, Microsoft did. Its the first time since 2006 that Sony actually has to compete. This is good news for gamers.

 

[John Day]

Xbox will get the game a few days early it is supposed to be Nov 17

Hmm no PS5 mention there

 

[BigLee74]

More expensive than the PS3 at launch here. Interesting how people had prepared themselves for a higher price and so the £449 price seems good!

OK, PS3 was 13 years ago, and was what? £430?

The Xbox one was 449, the X1X was 449, and now the XSX is 449. Nice and consistent, but this time they are releasing a VERY impressive machine.
I'm more than happy with the price!

 

[StreetsofBeige]

$500 is a good price, but I wouldn't say mindblowing. I think most people were expecting $500.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

$600 in Canada. Just like Xbox One X. It should really be $650 or so, but MS Canada rounding down to give us a break. They did the same with the S model at $380 instead of exchange rated at $400 cdn.

 

[BloodOmenPT]

That will be 499-599€, not too tempting

In Euro countries its going to be 499,99€, which is around 590$. So yeah, the 600$ prediction also came true...

 

[NullZ3r0]

They will be eating it hard at 499. I still expect to see 549 disk, 499 DE.

My expectation as well. The DE be positioned as the base model. While the disc version will be in limited supply at a higher price.

 

[VectorVictor]

As an Australian, let me be the first to say: ouch... that’s about $100 higher than I was expecting. A $500 budget console?

Legit question--would it be cheaper for you to import from the United States than to purchase new in your country? Or is this just the exchange rate between US$ and AUS$ f*****g things up?

 

[Bartski]

Cyberpunk on next-gen hardware at launch it is!!!
Did they confirm 499 Eur for EU?

 

[ManaByte]

$500 is a good price, but I wouldn't say mindblowing. I think most people were expecting $500.

Huh? Most people here were saying $599.

 

[dorkimoe]

Huh? Most people here were saying $599.

No. Most were saying 499

 

[Sony]

Wait a minute:

That’s all with no upfront costs and a low monthly price. Xbox Series S will be available starting from $24.99 a month for 24 months and Xbox Series X will be available starting from $34.99 a month for 24 months.

That means:
Series S All Acces Program = 24*25 = 600 USD
Series S Standalone + Game Pass Ultimate 2 years = 299 + (24*15) = 659
Series X All Acces Program = 35*25 = 875 USD
Series X Standalone + Game Pass Ultimate 2 years = 499 + (24*15) = 859

If you buy a Series X through All Acces, it's 16 USD cheaper than standalone
If you buy a Series S though All Acces, it's 59 USD cheaper

That's amazing value. GamePass is a no brainer.

 

[Fart Knight]

November 10th yall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ManaByte]

No. Most were saying 499

Just one thread of many where people were rubbing their crouches with glee at the idea of a $599 Series X:

THE NEW
XBOX SERIES X
WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL CONSOLE

Well there it is!!!

They must read neogaf.

They changed it from "Fastest. Most Powerfull" to "WORLD’S MOST POWERFUL CONSOLE"

 

[tryDEATH]

you got a link for that please

You actually get GamePass Ultimate + EA Play now

 

[dave_d]

Yup, the switch pro. Can't think of anything else.

OH come on. Clearly he's talking about Ryzen 3. Oh wait, no he's talking about Big Navi. Can't think of anything else

That's amazing value. GamePass is a no brainer.

All Access has always been cheaper than buying the console outright, but concern trolls like to do things like claim that GamePass is "interest" to downplay the value.

Sony has up till 22 Sep to response...
In a normal world, we would get PS5 prices tomorrow.

The longer they try to delay, it may not look good..

 

[Pagusas]

So now I need to figure out where to sell my PS4 Pro and my Xbox One X and my 1080TI.

That's amazing value. GamePass is a no brainer.

EA Play just got added to GamePass Ultimate for no additional cost making it even a better offer.

 

[Droxcy]

And here we go. Good price cannot begin to think what Sony’s thinking do they dare low ball to 450.

 

[Hunnybun]

So the $499 Is before sales taxes is it, in the US? If so, what's the actual cost?

The £449 in the UK is the actual retail price, so it's £375 before taxes compare to $499, which seems pretty good tbh.

 

[Andodalf]

Will All access help or hurt my credit score? I basically have no score at the moment, never had a loan or real payment plan before.

That's amazing value. GamePass is a no brainer.

It is great value as long as:

• You would want to have Game Pass Ultimate for those 24 months anyway. Some people would, some people wouldn't.
• There are no great Game Pass Ultimate deals going around (like the month for $1 options etc).

it really depends on what you want - but if you are someone who wants it all then yep it is amazing deal.

On a tangent - I don't know who MS partner with in the US but over here in the UK they use Klarna. I've used Klarna a couple of times and they have been fine for me, but it is probably worth knowing you are dealing with a third party too.

 

[sircaw]

Very very good price for the hardware, trying building a pc equivalent for that, you have zero chance of getting anywhere near it.

If only they had the quality of games the ps5 has.

Looking forward to the ps5 reveal now. $399 for that diskless and its a homerun.

 

[R6Rider]

So the $499 Is before sales taxes is it, in the US? If so, what's the actual cost?

Yes.

Depends on where you are buying it. For me it would be about 7% sales tax added.

 

[Fuz]

Honestly surprised at the price, they must be losing some money on this.

Came here to post this.
They're probably thinking more of a "service" than "a piece of hardware".


Really didn't expect it to be so low. Sony is in trouble now.

 

[CouzinD]

Christ, Australia. Get bitten alive by the worst creatures known to humanity, and pay out of their arses for Xbox's.

Poor Bastards.

 

[Rikkori]

Curious to know exact settings for Gears 5, must be using VRS as well. A 5500 XT can't really do better than 100 fps at 1080p high.

Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB vs. 4GB Gaming Review - Page 6 of 13

Is there a game performance difference between 4GB versus 8GB on the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT video cards? We put both to the test head-to-head and find out.

[VectorVictor]

Huh? Most people here were saying $599.

I think most folks were expecting $499 (or cheaper, if Sony announces at $499), and Sony to announce at $599/$399 (all US$)

 

[BootsLoader]

The price is exactly as I thought. From the start I knew that neither company could afford a higher price than 499$. That’s the limit.

 

[Adam_802]

Great price, with this and the EA access news today its hard to justify a PS over an Xbox now if you're not into weeb Souls games and that spiderman expansion People gonna be salty

 

[Roufianos]

£50 less than I expected so kudos to MS. Not even remotely interested at this point though, never thought I'd see a console launch without a major 1st party exclusive.

 

[DeeDogg_]

Sony is boring and doesn’t know how to market a console

 

[Jayjayhd34]

Will All access help or hurt my credit score? I basically have no score at the moment, never had a loan or real payment plan before.

Your credit score should be reasonable then you will have one, everyone starts of with one and either gets higher lower. Having credit in the past isn't the only factor. Having a bank account with good income coming in is just as important. If you do put it through your score will go down few points at first even if declined or accepted but as long as you pay it of it your score will improve.

 

[namekuseijin]

LOL today is the 25th anniversary of the PSX in the US. This is a Genesis-era Sega move to announce pre-orders today.

good call

looks like it

this might be a good time to announce all PS5 games are psvr-compatible, Sony

 

[Fbh]

Yeah $500 is a good price and offer a great price to performance.
