man....I hope you are wrong as well. I'm not buying an all-digital console.
I don't know if they will bundle a drive with one or not

I mentioned this last week but worth repeating my buddy who is a regional manager for a lot of Gamestops said they were getting in a lot of the detachable disc drives starting this week

Anyone afraid of missing out should likely grab one with a decent return window, we will know very shortly

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Same. But the writing is on the wall - we've gone from "either digital or with drive" (original) at the beginning of this gen to "all digital, but with a bundle package that includes the drive pre-installed" (slim) to probably now "all digital, buy the drive separately" for this.

What if it is 599 but it is digital only and then it costs 79.99 to buy the disc drive? Only 1 sku.

W or L?
If it's $600 for the digital then they should have the disc version at $650. It's going to be hard for physical owners to upgrade if they have to pay almost $700.

Whats the concencus on price? $599?
Prices now are $450 digital and $500 disc USD.

Assuming the price of current systems stay the same and dont get lowered, I'll say $600 digital, and $650-700 disc. Assuming there's two models available.

They might even just do a digital model and let gamers install their own SSD. Who knows.

It's actually a wise choice to somehow separate the hardware hype and talk and actual Pro gaming showcase. Plus this will unlock all of TGS partners to show Pro footage too.

There will be a games event later this month and TGS will be where people can play the system in person for the first time. Sony themselves have at least two games left for this year: Lego Horizon Adventure and Until Dawn. Until Dawn being built in UE5, I expect/hope to push the PS5 Pro though the layoffs have me concerned.

Sony announced what could be the GOTY if not GOTG just 4 months ago. I think people need to stop asking "what does sony have and why are they not saying anything). They have a plan and a roadmap.

Whats the concencus on price? $599?

If I'm wrong and it is still 1TB for the SSD, then I would assume the digital price will be 600 and the physical will be 650.

If it has 2TB, I expect we'll see 700 and 750 for digital and physical respectively.

They can fuck off with an only digital console.

I'm not gonna fucking pay 80 euros for a digital game.

Don't worry. I fully expect Sony et al. to continue to push prices over the generations till we all pay 100€ for game and think this is normal.

Yeah I wont go all digital either so I already ordered a drive just to be safe

I never keep single player games I beat and will never play again, I want something out of them and hope someone can get a deal on the disc somewhere down the road
 
That picture is priceless. Incredible how such a softspoken man managed to pull that face in the middle of a presentation.
One would think that face is the result of many sleepless nights while locked away in a Playstation laboratory. Leading to the culmination of yet another intricately superior designed system by this genius of a man. Only then to have him do the livestream and present his creation to all of us commoners.

The only way this isn't an inevitability is if the majority of their customers agree with you and vote with their wallets. Unfortunately, I feel like this is going to be the Apple headphone jack argument all over again, and by the time the next generation rolls around this will be the norm.

posts news as their odd job
It was sometime in Aug any game submitted to Sony for certification had to include a Pro patch, just don't recall if it was early or late last month
If I remember with the PS4 Pro announcement it was like Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Mass Effect: Andromeda.... and the latter released in March 2017.

I doubt Microsoft would let Black Ops 6 be used for this sort of thing.

Maybe Assassins Creed Shadows?

This is not the point, physical games are always gonna cost less and you can sell them, there is no advantage in going all digital except having the game at 00:00 and play immediately.

I'm gonna be pissed if pro is only digital.

It was never going to happen during the cerny talk.

Outlets like DF probably already know more about it and might have games running on it to show.

Yeah but this is the Pro, it deserves more than 9 minutes regardless... just seems weird

This is where we differ. I’m not getting out of my wheelchair to swap a disc. Last time I did the rug took forever to clean up from Doritos and pretzel dust. Not to mention Mountain Dew stains are impossible to get out!

Digital forever!!

In Canada, full budget games are $90 already. At currency exchange rates with the US, games here should be $95, but I guess stores give gamers a break rounding down to $90.

But next price increase, and it'll definitely go to $99.99 CDN. Add 13% tax (most provinces are roughly that tax rate), and a game will be $113. Right now at $90, it breaks $100 already with tax.

Wondering when the release date will be and when we can pre-order.
Also, is it possible that PSSR could work on a PS5 via an update? Is the tech presumably only available on the new PS5 Pro because of a better GPU?

I meant that they are going to try to push prices in general. Doesn't matter whether physical or digital versions.

"Playstation 5 Pro is freaking awesome! Buy it now bitches".

Thats all he needs to say frankly.

Sadly for many that wouldn't justify the price tag.

Whats the concencus on price? $599?

I'm thinking:

PS5 Pro 1TB without disc drive - $599USD (disc drive sold separately). Which will go over $700 price tag if you pay taxes. I'm in NY so I expect to pay roughly $60 in taxes. So I'll be around $738.

PS5 Pro 1TB Bundle (includes disc drive) - $699USD

The PS5 Pro Super Special Edition 2TB + disc drive + 30th Anniversary Plates - $799USD (I don't expect this but not out of the question).

Please let it be a technical presentation on how they managed to emulate the Cell processor. Let the Pro talk next week along with the games announcements.

I honestly hate that this is happening. It doesn't feel like we got a showstopper PS5 game yet. Uncharted 4 was out when PS4 Pro launched. PS5's Uncharted 4 moment isn't even announced.

Every time people are concerned about Sony pushing a crazy price or dropping physical Sony presents a decent price and a main model with a drive, lol.

I understand that, but they can't force you with physical games like they do with digital.

Shops are always gonna have some offers to pay less, or buying from a foreign state and only having the cover with a different language but like 10-20 euros discount, you can't do any of that in an only digital world.
