50 dollars seems about right. I think they went up around £30 in the UK a while ago?

 

[pqueue]

Triple threat:
1. Price increases due to tariffs
2. Decreased consumer purchasing power due to overall inflation
3. Mostly non-existent Sony first party library of exclusives this generation

Hard pass.

Do we feel Liberated yet? Soon we will have millions of people assembling PlayStations in US!

 

[StreetsofBeige]

LOL. The day before it happens.

The CDN price of PS5 Pro is already $960. So with the price hike, it'll break $1,000 CDN. Probably be $1,050. Add tax and you're at about $1,200 CDN!

 

[Loxus]

The only console generation where the older the tech is, the more it increases in price.

 

[demigod]

To the shock of no one. It was bound to happen due to the tariffs.

Buy your thousand dollar 6 year old console after having spent 10 hours sweating over manually intense labor in a factory

Fuck yeah!

Canadian price is 1,050 CAD, yes

 

[Banjo64]

About time America has to suffer with the RotW.

I'm trying to sell mine now for a decent chunk below £300 and there's barely been a nibble.

 

[acm2000]

i do like how they didnt even mention how much theyve gone up so the stupid people wont know.

 

[Bojji]

O predicted price increase for Pro few months ago

 

[Xyphie]

Totally expected. It was only a matter of time after they raised the price in Europe a few months ago.

 

[Thanati]

But..but...winning...and so forth....

These consoles are becoming good financial investments!

 

[GHound]

PS6 will make PS3 look like the hottest console launch of all time.

 

[adamsapple]

You ain't kidding.

This gen has been completely fucked in that regard. People who bought consoles in 2020 spent up to $100 or so LESS than someone buying the console tomorrow would.

-

Folks who still think a hypothetical PS6 will ship at $399 in any of its models, you have a rough road ahead.

 

[DragoonKain]

I'll give it about 24 hours until we get an unhinged rant on Truth Social about how "Sony MUST decrease their prices again, because it's a tactic to make me look bad and had nothing to do with tariffs!!!!"

 

[MiguelItUp]

Man, this is getting absolutely stupid, lmao.

 

[WoodyStare]

I blame it on tariffs Concord.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Yikes!

Anyone still thinks the ps6 in about 2-3 years will be 599 ? ... lol

[reinking]

A few of you have been waiting for this day. No need to celebrate the increased cost in gaming. It is hitting everyone and it is only going to keep going up up up…

 

[xrnzaaas]

So when is another price increase coming in Europe? Surely we'll be asked to share the financial burdens caused by the man from the Oval Office.

 

[Punished Miku]

In Sony's defense, a US price increase will go over great at Gamescom. They love that shit.

 

[Closer]

 

[Bernardougf]

Got up those prices with all those first party exclusives bangers announced recently ...

....Oh wait

This price increase is just to justify Barlog's technically ambitious game, you see.

SERIOUSLY!!!! But watch some dopes in this thread blame Sony and say they are just being a greedy corporation. As if a 20-30% tariff increase wouldn't change the cost of an imported product.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

The mock surprise and outrage tickles me, anyone with at least half a brain knew this was coming, sucks but it is what it is. Buy your consoles at launch for the cheapest entry point lol.

It said no other additional markets. This is U.S only. So there is no increase for CDN price.

At some point you have to suffer the consequences of your actions.

 

[ecosse_011172]

At least the libs are owned or something.

 

[PurePlatinum]

When prices across the board are increasing for absolutely everything, it's going to happen.

PS/Xbox are building in the same factories, sourcing from the same component manufacturers, and using the same international grid of shipping and retail outlets...it's going to happen. Blue box or green box, it's not a matter of corporate greed it's a matter of larger economic conditioning.

Only economically clueless sheep will repeat, "Greedy corporations".

 

[mckmas8808]

I don't think any person believed the PS6 would be $399.

$124.82 with inflation! Early adoption bonus is sick, this gen!

Jokes on all those clowns who said they'd wait until the cross gen period is over and get it cheap. Imagine getting a digital now when you could have gotten the disc for the same price 5 years ago.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

It said no other additional markets. This is U.S only. So there is no increase for CDN price.

Didn't they raise the price in Canada not too long ago?

Or the Red Box. Even Nintendo has hiked prices. Totally agree with you btw.
