Fuck off

 

[Ozriel]

Looks like I owe Mibu no ookami an apology

Still Day 1 for me, but what a stupid price. This will certainly sell at a much slower clip than the PS4 Pro.

 

[Bry0]

yeah $699 with no disc drive is more than I expected. It looks like you still get very good graphical fidelity though, so I don’t think it’s totally outrageous, but it’s steep. I basically only play gt7 on my ps5 so this is an easy skip, but if ps5 was my only system and I had a huge library of games and a nice tv, I’d probably suck it up and buy this still.

 

[King Dazzar]

Thats a piss taking price. I'm still down, but this wont sell well.

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[Gonzito]

It’s cheaper than a standalone 4070ti, $100 more than a 2TB SX.

In today’s world of inflation , $699 for the best gaming console hobby, it’s very affordable

Wages have risen alongside inflation , work harder!

You forgot to take your medicines man

Updating the OP with some bullet points. Thanks.

 

[AtomicStarving]

With 2TB that price is REALLY ON POINT IMO

 

[Sethbacca]

I mean, I get all of the whining, but what did everyone think was going to happen with inflation and shit over the last few years. Comparing a launch today to a launch 8 years ago is fucking retarded on any level.

 

[dottme]

I was putting $649 in the prediction thread thinking I’m hitting high but this way I’m ready for a relatively high price. But Sony really beat me hard here.
I’ll see you for the PS6 hoping things get reasonable by then.

 

[unlurkified]

¥120,000 or basically $1200 for peeps in Japan like me. RIP, thanks Phil. Somebody hold me.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

That is OBJECTIVELY overpriced given the performance jump

PS5 DE launched 4 years ago for $399

This is purely a product there being no competition by team green.

We have had a lot of inflation since 2020, especially chips

 

[thatJohann]

Yeah it's pricey for a console but I'm already paying $1,000+ for a new iPhone every year so I'm not as offended. Frankly, I thought this pricing was way overdue given these systems last many years. Def getting it.

 

[Cyborg]

799........ + 120 for a disc-drive! Fucking insanity

 

[Senua]

[Sybrix]

No disc at 699 is insane.

 

[TheTurboFD]

Preorders begin Sept 26th from PS Direct and retailers

Thank you boss

 

[Diddy X]

Now regular PS5 seems like such an insane deal, they are geniuses.

 

[fudgybrownie]

If black myth wukong doesn't have a pro mode when the console releases what's the point. Sony better get the 3rd party games with a pro version ready

 

[SSfox]

Need to recover the 200 millions dollars of Trashcord I guess

 

[Little Chicken]

Are we actually surprised by the pricing though? It was always going to be an expensive machine for enthusiasts. Look around at the market, prices aren't coming down at all (anywhere for that matter).

 

[lughnasadh123]

Guess I should start seeing about that second job at Burger King.

 

[Filben]

800EUR without even a disc drive? Increase gamepad prices, increased base price for PS5, increased PS+ prices lately.This is what happens without real competition.

 

[RaZoR No1]

I'll just stick with the standard console this gen. My 5800X3D/3090 PC can be my PS5 Pro

I will probably stick standard /switch to PC too.
Already have a pretty OK PC with 6900XT and 8700k here, but somehow never really made the switch to PC completely ...
this is probably one of the bigger triggers for me
I just need GT7 in PC and it is a 100% done deal

 

[fart town usa]

That's a hard pass for me. Even if it offered boosted VR. $700 is a complete joke. Few games even take advantage of the base PS5.

 

[Haint]

Concord's historic and catastrophic bomba working overtime at Sony. Anyone with a PC from the last decade+ would be infinitely better off investing this stupid amount money in a 4080.

 

[Schnauzer]

I never thought I would become a PC only gamer; however, with things like moonlight/sunlight. I am going full in on the PC train.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Yeah, I'll pass. This is a good example of what happens with no competition.

 

[luca_29_bg]

Sony you are crazy! 800 euros! You are out of your mind!

 

[Mr Moose]

Are they fucking stupid? £699 for a digital console? That's $900.

 

[Arcane0ne]

Day None. 800€ they are crazy.

 

[cash_longfellow]

It’s funny, because I see the same exact meltdowns that I saw with the ps4 pro. Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s not a new console, it’s an upgraded version of the existing one, chill tf out. Don’t like the price point or no disc drive, don’t buy it. I don’t plan on it because of those reasons, but I’m not going to have a conniption because of it, I don’t need it

 

[twilo99]

£700 no disc drive? yeah no thanks

Ye but what if it runs GTA 6 at 120fps...

 

[violence]

This thread was started 9 minutes ago and it’s already at five pages.

If you wait for the PS6 there may actually be games that take advantage of the PS5 Pro.

 

[DragoonKain]

The disc drive is $80. Stand will probably be $20-$30.

All told the full package I'd want would be about $850 after taxes.

 

[ArtHands]

Gonna break all sorts of sales record

 

[dorkimoe]

Yeah, I'll pass. This is a good example of what happens with no competition.

100% but the troll fanboys wont care. I was seriously in until the no disc drive. Theyre forcing people to buy your digital overpriced bullshit thru the store. Saved myself $800 now

 

[Certinty]

£680 WITH A DISC DRIVE? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

 

[Preseznik]

I think I speak for entire Sweden when I say:
Yeah, perhaps a new graphics card instead.

Yup, not sure if they even know, but they priced themselves out of considertaion in Europe.
People buy consoles because they're cheaper than PCs, this aint it anymore.

They can still win me back if they announce VR upgrades for GT7, but honestly I'll just wait for the inevitable PC port now?

 

[Needlecrash]

Guess I'll stick with my base PS5 and my PC. Basically, over $800 including taxes. The fact the system doesn't include the disc drive or a vertical stand is a super head scratcher.

 

[SenkiDala]

wtf 799€
just wtf...

920 with the drive... It's... well.

That's way, way overpriced. Even if it had a 4tb drive.

 

[paolo11]

So ff7 rebirth thanks it will be supported but I don’t see FF16.

 

[keefged4]

Actually in disbelief a wee bit at the price haha wtf are they thinking

 

[Skifi28]

Yurop got shafted as expected.

 

[SJRB]

Not a single new game revealed to give this reveal some gravitas. What a fucking anticlimax.

800 euros to play fucking Last of Us 2 at 60fps, whoop de doo. And no disc drive so you gotta buy that fucking thing seperately too at some point.

Ridiculous reveal. That was absolutely terrible.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

I never thought I would become a PC only gamer; however, with things like moonlight/sunlight. I am going full in on the PC train.

Going full pc where prices are much higher

lol ok

 

[Hunnybun]

Didn't envisage the price being any kind of problem, but £700 really is taking the piss a bit.

Think I'll wait until I can get one used for a bit less tbh.

 

[Playboi Carti]

60 CU's, clock still unknown

 

[HL3.exe]

Inflation doing it's thing!

$499 Switch 2 LCD model incoming, btw.

Inflation, combined with Moore's Law slowing down to a crawl this past decade.

 

[FeralEcho]

I said Sony would be unhinged without Microsoft in the hardware space and make PS6 700$. i was wrong

Seems they are so greedy not only did they not wait for MS to be out of the hardware space but also didn't even wait for PS6 to go insane

Enjoy your unhinged Sony,fanboys!!! Get those wallets ready.
