We still don't know the price? What is with Sony and this "we will tell you at the last minute" for every damn thing they do?

They better tell us with State of play

 

[KaiserBecks]

HEADS UP! Disc Drive is back on Amazon without scalper prices!

Price is just a number to us modern PlayStation customers. We are affluent, hung and press 1 click checkout without seeing the price. Because that's who we are.

Some of us are two out of three but sure.....

They are scared to tell us the price

I never thought of that. Surely we get the prices dropped.

 

[ManaByte]

Based on the slim price, it's going to be at least $1200 for the bundle. They'll price it at $1230 and think they're clever.

 

[Neofire]

As someone who will try to get a 30th or regular Pro plus an additional 30th controller it's very irritating not to have prices or details of retailers just 2 days before. Do I need to go in and put a cash deposit or all online. Would be nice to know.

Fuck all those poor bastards who can't handle the price tell the hardcore what we want to know. I give it to the end of the day or I switch to Xbox.

I'm not worried about getting the standard PS5 pro at all seeing the reactions to the price because if most won't get it at 700 I'm pretty sure no one will get it at 1000 from scalpers.

I will get my pro at launch.

Still a better plot than The Acolyte.

The 30th anniversary will be sold out fast because it's very limited and will have a good sell on value in future. The regular pro Will be hard to get launch week.

After what happened last week, I wouldn’t blame them. A more likely scenario is they were waiting for the State of Play.

They won't reveal it on State of Play. It'll be worse than the $700 reveal.

Do the math:

PS4 Pro (w/ controller): $700 - add $50 at least for the LE color like the slim, so $750
Dual Sense Edge: $200
Charging stand: $30
Vertical stand: $30
Disc drive cover: $25
Then it comes with a bunch of 30th anniversary extras, which will probably be $50

So you're looking at a minimum of $1055 for the bundle. But they'll probably charge more since it's a limited edition.

Maybe, maybe not. It’s two days away, they’ll have to discuss a price.

You gonna pick one up ?

 

[ManaByte]

No they don't. It's a limited edition bundle of 12,300 units that no one except scalpers will get.

You gonna pick one up ?

I was going to try for one before I bought Metallica tickets, but now I'm just getting a normal Pro and disc drive.

 

[cormack12]

Sweet. Not sure if they will let us get both but gonna try. Probably settle for the normal pro though

Same shit was levied at the 25th Anniv. PS4 and I was able to snag one from the PS site.

What time did you place the order eastern time zone ?

 

[Topher]

You could try for the LE on PS Direct and then the normal pro when they open it up to vendors in Oct

That's my plan, but I doubt I'll get one.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

What time did you place the order eastern time zone ?

Whenever preorders went live.

*excuse the clutter, I lived a little different in 2014

 

[saintjules]

Can't be scared when you're leading the competition

Edit: just to add I think I would wait for 3rd party creators to make a mock up of the Anniversary edition plates. Then I'll just pretend that I have one. Maybe buy the controller later, but that's about it.

 

[R6Rider]

I know the answer, but I can't tell you until tomorrow.

Jokes on everyone. I told people to buy it right when they announced the Pro.

 

[Neofire]

The 30th Anniversary Edition I agree with you but I don't agree on the pro launch though but gl on your getting a anniversary one.


Also does anyone know the time the pre order will go live for the 30th Anniversary Edition items on the PlayStation Direct?

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Based on the slim price, it's going to be at least $1200 for the bundle. They'll price it at $1230 and think they're clever.

Since the approx prime is $960, this bundle for Pro could be $1099/- or $999

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Does anyone know if they've announced details of the exact time we need to hop over to PS Direct to secure the pre-order? Is it at 12am on Thursday?

 

[Rentahamster]

Does anyone know if they've announced details of the exact time we need to hop over to PS Direct to secure the pre-order? Is it at 12am on Thursday?

I'd like to know this too

 

[DenchDeckard]

I'm sure I saw a post somewhere that said a ltd edition playstation sold for over 200K. Am I incorrect here? or hallucinating?

I really doubt it's 12:00 am, it will be during the day/afternoon but I don't think Sony will announce the exact time, because they would be basically tell us "let's have fun and everybody assault our site at this exact time so it'll collapse".

 

[ManaByte]

PS Direct pre-orders have never been at midnight.

 

[DryvBy]

I'm sure I saw a post somewhere that said a ltd edition playstation sold for over 200K. Am I incorrect here? or hallucinating?

Yes, but it was #1. Another sold for $20,000. Most sold for $1500-$2500.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Yes, but it was #1. Another sold for $20,000. Most sold for $1500-$2500.

Do you have a link about the 200k one? I as getting ripped at work for suggesting one went for that much.

This was it. It was $120k. Numbers were mixed up

Ultra-Rare 20th Anniversary PS4 Sells For $129,000

Plus, Sony to match the price paid for a total donation of around $258,000 to a Japanese charity.

sounds like it also probably sold for that much since it was for charity, prices always go up for auctions benefitting a charity

That's a nice looking console

 

[MikeM]

GameStop Canada confirmed that they are selling the Pro 30th Anniversary edition but don’t have a price yet. Ooff…

 

[RCU005]

Will the Slim Digital Edition be "Spider-Man Edition" limited or will it be "Horizon:Forbidden West or God of War Ragnarok" limited?

If it's like the Spider-Man edition, it will be impossible to grab.

Nintendo knows how to do special editions, they don't sell them to scalpers, they give normal people the chance to get them. I got my Zelda Special Edition OLED at launch without any issues!

Also: The Slim Digital Edition pre orders begin tomorrow too, or later date?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

How do we still not have a price on this and it goes on sale in like 19 hours?

 

[DryvBy]

Sony is going to tell us Soon-y.

 

[BlitzerRadic]

How do we still not have a price on this and it goes on sale in like 19 hours?

C'mon bro let's not kid ourselves we all have a pretty good idea what the top end could be for what they charge for this and as long as it's not over that there are way more than 12k people like you and me who will pay it no questions asked.

 

[Moses85]

Wasnt it already available in Australia?

 

[Bond007]

Probably sticker shock. Best keep that low key as long as physically possible. lol

At least the ones who would need to get permission first could give their significant other a price at least

Better to ask for forgiveness than permission when in matters of hobbies.

This kind of reply should be in the next MK as a brutality.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

One thing I just thought about that annoys me.

The new Edge has grey stick modules so unless they start to sell the grey modules separately if you ever need to replace them it’s gonna look dumb as hell.

Edit: the cover at the bottom should cover anything that doesn’t match.
