No disc drive?

 

[ozz ex machina]

Hahahahaha - Sony are a fucking joke. I could smell they were having another PS3 era. Writing has been on the wall. GET FUCKED SONY.

EDIT: for clarity - ps3 era = arrogant wankers who cooked up a cell processor overpriced, piece of shit console, with awful online features lightyears behind 360. I won't stand for historians trying to pretend PS3 was the best because they had good exclusives by the end of the fucking generation.

 

[Nicktendo86]

£700 without a disk drive and they cheapskates are even making you pay for the vertical stand? They're taking the piss.

 

[analog_future]

$699, no disc drive, and no new game announcements to go with the hardware.


Interesting choices.

 

[Jesb]

1k Canadian. Lmfao.

 

[mdkirby]

Any link to preorder?

 

[Adam_802]

lol oof

 

[tTHANOSs]

I will get it for GTA 6. I can wait until then.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I'm sitting here wondering how we went from a PS4 and PS4 Pro releasing both at 400€ to a PS5 releasing for 500€ and a PS5 Pro releasing at 800€...with no disc support or vertical stand lmao

 

[Goliath77]

£699 is $912. That is ridiculous to price both at 699

 

[justiceiro]

wtf 799€
just wtf...

It's so over for europe

 

[MarV0]

Console bros remember when you were making fun of PC gamers and their expensive graphics cards?

They warned you that this pricing will trickle down to consoles. Enjoy the hardly noticeable 45% performance increase at $700.

 

[Sleepwalker]

My only takeaway from this is that my wife who was hearing from the other room is convinced that the presentation was narrated by Ryan Reynolds.

 

[Aldric]

It's like we're back at the start of the PS3 gen except it doesn't even have funny memes anymore. The absolute state of Sony.

 

[bosnianpie]

Get another job?

Nah, I'll skip this. I only buy the original version.

 

[dorkimoe]

Where's the pre order link

sept 26th ps direct

Confirmed that disc drive is a separate purchase. PS5 Pro is a disc-less console. Includes 2TB SSDPreorders begin Sept 26th from PS Direct and retailers

per wario

 

[DragoonKain]

Adding in stand and disc drive, in the US that thing for those who desire both peripherals will be nearing $900 after taxes if the drive and stand will be as expensive as I expect.

 

[Muskrat_Farms]

Doesn't even come with the stupid stand. I could buy MacPro wheels for that price.

 

[Del_X]

No disk drive for $700. Yeah fuck this. I can wait another year to play GTAVI.

 

[kittoo]

This price without disc???? Hot damn!

 

[R6Rider]

Start trading in those PS5s boys lol

I'm not trading in a damn thing.

Fat PS5 goes into living room and Pro goes into gaming room.

 

[TheTurboFD]

Seeing preorder now but no place to preorder lol

 

[adamsapple]

It's digital only, so you have to pay another $80 for the disc add-on.

 

[The Incarnation]

Fuck it, I'm in.

Don't think it will sell well though.

 

[DAHGAMING]

The Sony Playstation 5 No.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

The price for fidelity at 60 fps HAHAHA.

 

[nial]

HOLY DAMN FUCK, I'll never try to predict Sony ever again, I didn't even get the release date right.

 

[Ellery]

Huh I thought I was gonna get this one, but I have changed my mind. Too expensive and not good enough

Edit : No disc drive double ouchers

 

[NEbeast]

Adam posting this like it's some win. Get lost broke loser.

 

[AtomicStarving]

People still think Sony is making this console for the "masses", come on people, stop being stupid. Same games on base and pro, left and right, with a premium option, buy or just ignore.

 

[kadab]

799 euro?

 

[ByWatterson]

Everyone is freaking out about price, but Gamestop trade-in for PS5 is about $350.

So this new one costs about $350. Who is gonna keep their old console and why?

 

[cash_longfellow]

Looks like a significant upgrade, indeed.
Ugly as sin though! (Not that it matters)

Console gaming starting to get quite expensive though. At that price you're not too far away from a decent PC that would be a bigger upgrade in fps, ray tracing and AI-frames.

He did say part of the ps5 family. Much like human families, when the earlier generation is ugly asf, so too are their seeds

 

[DonF]

WAIT THE FUCK UP! Its DIGITAL ONLY?!?!?!

 

[seb85]

800 euro just to play my older PS5 titles and remakes , yeah they can keep this garbage
Also 800 can build you a pc as good

 

[The Lunch Legend]

At these pricepoints I wouldn't worry about pre-ordering.

I still would worry, dawg

 

[diffusionx]

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

I want to reserve judgement till I actually watch the stream in my 4k tv, but from the 1080l YouTube stream, it seems overpriced for the tiny upgrades it offers.

 

[ElFenomeno]

800 euros. HAHAHA

 

[HRK69]

Any link to preorder?

[existensmaximum]

No built-in disc drive? Count me out, no way.

 

[SplunkyMunkey]

Ps3 all over again

 

[clarky]

These cunts are insane.

 

[Sweden85]

wtf 799€
just wtf...

That will probably translate to over 1000€ in Scandinavia :-O

 

[Draugoth]

I told you guys were too excited for an overpriced console and you all laughed

 

[Trekinspace88]

800 Euro is way higher than i was expecting but i have been saving up money since it first was rumoured so i can take the 800 euro hit but others will not be so lucky.

 

[onnextflix5]

699 lol fuck that, i will build a new pc thanks.

 

[Outpost #31]

€799,99
Yeah...
No.

 

[Represent.]

Is that $950 CAD??

Yes. And they announced zero new games or a single killer app. They showed off PS4 games and PS5 games people have platinumed already

 

[Metnut]

Are preorders live yet?
