- Tomorrow the PlayStation 5 will finally be revealed with several game reveals seemingly planned along with the possibility of seeing the console itself. How much more Sony will reveal tomorrow is anyone's guess, but new listings found online show that there could be several models planned for launch with one being more expensive than we thought.

That’s $600 for 2TB. During the presentation, they implied the lowest memory would be 825GB. So, judging by the cost of a SSD, the PS5 should be $450~$500
This is exactly what I think and that price makes sense.
Except due to the 825gb starting storage and a 12 channel SSD which is great don’t get me wrong they could only double that which would be 1.650tb model not 2tb
Well it was leaked that the production cost like $420? Or $450? Cant remember but its around there. Anyways think price is at $499 or $399 if sony decide to downcut
Yeah I dont have a problem with that price for 2tb pci gen 4 nvme storage. If I bought that same drive for my gaming pc it'd be roughly 400 dollars. And the PS5 specs show it's going to perform like an upper midrange pc with the specs it has. A 3700x and RX5700 is nothing to scoff at. $600 would be very competitive for the experience its offering.
@@MrOboehobo this
Remember Sony said that gamers will be happy with the price
And Xbox said they wouldn't be caught out this time they probly would match so I think 499 will be the price
That could mean anything
Cmiiw but I think the quote goes something like gamers will be happy with the price considering what they're getting, so they probably meant the price will be reasonable rather than cheap, especially considering all the fancy tech they jammed in there
Even if PS5 was $600 and the Series X was $700, both prices would be a STEAL.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M yeah they should probably pay us for getting the console
the ps4 was listed at 600 before the actual price was revealed so.

Great, so that means the PS5 will be $400 at launch !! Excellent !! XD
Ok so time to finally move on from the PS3 and buy my first PS4.
Respect my man!
There’s so many games, def get Spider-Man god of war horizon and the last of us 2

You cant go wrong. PS4 is a beast. Enjoy
definitely get Final Fantasy VII Remake, Resident Evil 2 Remake, Devil May Cry 5, NieR Automata, Dragon Quest XI, and Kingdom Hearts 3 (if you've played the previous ones). Those are all fantastic games.

I’m hearing rumors the PS5 will cost $10 and will be air power, but you have to buy the wind turbine separate ($23,000) anyone know if is true?
Yes sound about right 😂
I heard the PSVR is actually built in to the PS5 console it comes with two straps and you have to strap the whole console to your face.
Yea also you have to live outside!
@@itwiznaemeitwizumin4655 yep
@Dalim Mont console is trash
I really hope there is a 2tb model I don't care if it is $600. It's still a day 1 buy for me.
if the scalpers dont buy out all the ps5 stock.
600 would be ridiculously cheap for a 2tb NVME SSD so I wouldn't count on it.
I hope there's more than that
Cell Double E Same here
It's 600 British pounds which is just over 750 US dollars. I'm sure it's just a placeholder because the other model was the same price. (If it's even real in the first place)
I would pay $599 if it had a 2tb ssd in the thing
Same
I would not. I'd be forced to get it on sale : (
Anires there will be another option. There’s no way there only going to have a 2tb model.
AND full PlayStation family backward compatibility. Not worth it for me otherwise
Would be 699 to have a ssd that fast at 2tb
Imagine paying $600 and then being disappointed, I hope Sony did sum crazy
2TB ssd? Id buy that even if its $600
@@ergicgaming1618 I thought it was 825 GB?
I’m worried that the next upgrade is cheaper and more memory and I’m going to pay $600 for less.
For PS5 Tech, no amount is expensive.
@@EndlessMahogany it is but the 600$ listing says 2t
Anyone here after the event cause they didn’t show price
There was also a listing for a 1tb model for the exact same price. I wouldn't believe these at all.
i dont even think there will be a 1tb model. i dont see the point of making another line of ps5's that just have that little extra storage.
1TB these days are kinda small...
1 tb is super small bro i call it Bullshit, That basically 2 Cod MW, And knowing how PS5 is gonna try to use every little thing in the software it's gonna be pure BS.
The ssd in the ps5 is only 850 g
@@Uwhm what!? do you people live under a rock? it was already said the ps5 comes with a 825gb ssd
I'd drop 599 for a 2tb model. Easy. Looking forward to the event tomorrow. ANY information at this stage. They certainly know how to build demand and hype.
@The great gamer the base model is 825GB
PS3 was lauched in 2006 by $499. It´s $640 in 2020
Yeah
It is not like they promised that they will not make same mistake by pricing console 600 $ again
@@Bodom1after1midnight yeah that's tb
Amazon's listings aren't always correct. I've seen multiple times games go for 69,99 and then go down to 49,99 when the release date was made public. We can only wait and see...
th-cam.com/video/BHDCVpWC8l8/w-d-xo.html yep
Lol I pre-ordered my Pokémon edition switch lite for a normal switch price there, only for the price to jump up a while later. I tried buying it from Walmart first but they kept canceling the transaction. I understand now that they knew the price was wrong. Oh well lucky me 😂
True but hey more power to you if you bought them at a steal thanks to an Amazon glitch. I remember reading an article a year ago where a photographer bought a brand new Sony DSLR camera for a few hundred dollars, when it was originally 4K MSRP.
I'm excited to see if the console is made of 24K gold or has a self-contained power source (nuclear, solar, etc) or whatever - you know, something I wouldn't believe could be mass produced.
You must be joking?!
The PS5 will definitely be powered with water energy. You just have to live near a waterfall.
Flux Capacitor. It literally goes back in time and spends more time to render out each frame in higher fidelity.
My honest guess though would be maybe some sort of liquid cooling. Or the 3M Novec cooling.
That would make the console WAY TOO EXPENSIVE
@@camygael A Flux Capacitor? Yeah, but a guy can dream.
Joking. Liquid cooling would definitely be more expensive. There was a Bloomberg article saying that while most consoles would spend less than a dollar per console on cooling that Sony spent "a few dollars" per console on cooling in the PS5. Liquid cooling would likely push that up too much, but who knows. A vapor chamber and heat pipes are far more likely.
This is a dummy PS5 sku on Amazon. I wouldn’t pay attention to it. I doubt the person who put it in even knows anything about it.
450-500 I think both companies don’t want to touch the 600$ price tag soon I would expect that price for a mid gen refresh model. But something is telling me Sony will have the PS5 at 400 bucks and take a 50$ loss on each unit if the rumor 450$ is the cost to build the console is correct. But I’m prepared to spend 500-550 and be happy tbh the tech on both machines would easily cost 1200 or more in a PC build.
Well Sony did the same with PS4 with selling at a loss but It did work in the end. I won't be surprised if they go with the same method for the pricing of the ps5. Gosh I'm very excited.
J Ali yeah that’s what I’m thinking. But I think the PS4 actually was somewhat profitable I believe they made around 20 bucks or so each system sold could be wrong. Either way super excited for tomorrow they know what price is right and they said gamers should be pleased with the pricing which I would be pleased around 500$ and be blown away at 400-450$
For the last 2 generations, going over $400 has put a major crimp in a consoles initial sales, it tripped up the PS3 and XB1 at both their respective launches causing the other company to take a lead. so they probably don't wanna do that again, both companies have been burned. I can see maybe a normal and a Pro model though, and the normal model being $400 and the pro being $500 with like, much bigger SSD, and i dunno? 8k movie support, extra USB's etc
Trakker1985 but most people expect nowadays better products = more money especially since people are dropping 1k on a new phone each year I know I shouldn’t compare a console to a smart phone but they are looking at the market which right now is not so good but I’ve asked some family members that don’t play games etc and asked how much you think this would cost some said 450$ and some with some tech knowledge said around 500-550$.
A $599 price point wouldn't shock me. Consoles have to hit that number at some point, and really, the only stigma with that number is Sony's $599 PS3 debacle back in 2006. If you adjust for inflation, today, that price would be $763. So, I don't think $599, today, would be nearly as much of a shock as if Sony announced a $760 console. I think at $599 people would at first be hesitant, but they'd get past it and just buy the console.
Today " the ps5 may be MORE EXPENSIVE Than we think"
yesterday "The ps5 may be CHEAPER than we think"
last week "the ps5 may be more EXPENSIVE than we think"
a week before that "the ps5 may NOT come out when expected"
Don't forget "the PS5 games may might be more expensive"
This dude job is to literally milk this topic
This price-point seems too much for me, let's see what's unveiled at the event itself
$599 for a 2 TB system isn't bad if you think about it. The PS5 will most likely be $499 with the 825GB SSD that has already been revealed. Add another 1TB SSD for only $100 and you just got the best bang for your buck. To add that extra 1TB down the road will cost you twice that I'm sure.
You wont get a PC that good for double the price.
It's scary how accurate that thumbnail looked to the actual console...
Not really? The real design has curved surfaces
It doesn’t look accurate at all.
Looks absolutely nothing like the real design
I don't give a damn! If there is gonna be a 2 TB version, I don't care if it's $700, that's the 1 I'm getting.
Ok
Same here. Hell, give me a 4TB version and I would buy it. Don't care about the price.
Tomorrow couldn't come sooner come on Lets go!!
I feel your hype let's go, I'm a pc gamer and console but still getting a ps5
Yeah imagine that time stood still at 11:59 pm.....and at the same time everyone is fully conscious...damn, that'd be hellish !!
Well go to sleeep
$599 is ok... even way too cheap for 2TB SSD version.
People forget about inflation... if it´s $499 it will be one of the lowest launch prices in console history.
PS3 was lauched in 2006 by $499. It´s $640 in 2020
SNES launch price in + inflation up to 2020 would get close to 800USD
Consoles are getting less and less expensive.
People also refuse to realize that the first PS3 variant was the cheapest Blu-ray player in the market even with the expensive PS2 chipset that was incorporated for backwards compatibility with PS2 games.
That’s perfect for 2TB and a huge leap from ps4 hell yeah I’ll expect 6-$700
You do know the pound is more than the dollar right?
£600 would come up to 756 US dollars, shits way too expensive smh
Oh man I haven't been this excited for something in Gaming since the 2013 E3 with PS4 etc.
I feel like a child and it's amazing
It's not 600 dollars it's 600 British pounds which is over 750 US dollars. I think it's just a placeholder amount because the lower priced model was priced the same amount.
Can't wait for tomorrow
Same
Every day is the same to me eating food playing games and play outside but not close to anyone because covid-19 so ok
Same
Tayshaun Whittingham ok
Yes dude
I don't understand why people get weird about the thought of price being high. These same people will pay for a phone that costs hundreds more
Exactly, iphone x and galaxy s10 were like 800$+ and both pho es were successful af.
You can at least pay it off every month and the majority of people use phones far more often than video game consoles
Kat S exactly, people cant really compare the two because no one pays monthly for consoles
I would love to see a Dead Space remasters💯
Remake* or remaster, yeah.
Let's hope it doesn't have microtransactions because EA
@@Manameisjeffzz You're probably right but sometimes remasters can make a game better
So is that what we are looking forward to? Remasters at a launch event. I don’t mind remasters, it gives us something to play when there is nothing out or another shot at an Ip. But I’m starting to see my excitement for next gen starting to fade away.
Carl Cameron if this system ends up costing $600 I want a new game not a remake.
People be expecting a 2 TB version of the PS5 for $600, bro 2 TB SSD's alone costs around $300+. If it were to be true, the ps5 would be game changing for it's "cheap" price.
With my saved stimulus package.. my body is ready.
I Just don't get the thing with console pricing. People spend thousands of dollars on phones and change them every year or two but cannot spend 500 for a console that they will have for 4-7 years?
Not to mention that iPhones are prone to failure for having bad architecture as proven by Louis Rossman [A famous tech TH-camr].
They trying to bamboozle Microsoft 😂
@Techstorm2065 they're trying to get Microsoft to throw out their price so they can undercut or match it. Whoever puts their price first will immediately get undercut.
@@letmegetuhhh3959 lol yeah I agree. I think Microsoft is going to wait until the end of time before they reveal their price!🤣 they won't be outdone this time!
I don't care if it's gonna more expensive, if it's gonna be better and have better exclusives
I'm still gonna wait till there is a price drop for PS5 and more games I can happily wait to get a PlayStation 5
Just wait for PS5 Pro There will be loads of games and player count by then too
Yeah... The backlog is already sufficiently insurmountable.
You’ll be waiting a long time then. The PS4 didn’t get a price drop until 4 or 5 years into its life, and the PS4 pro hasn’t even gone down in price.
Ditto
@@TeoZMuff313 ps5 pro wouldn't come out for the next 3 to 4 years after ps5 is released. It was the same with ps4.
Notice the price holder is for a 2TB model , which would not be a base PS5 if that is the case. So a person could say that the base model would probably be $499. I mean I don't know what people expect? Do you or anyone else actually expect a PS5 to be $299? No way, you have to be reasonable and realize this is state of the art tech.
They don't realize that Sony has been taking loses while selling consoles [ONLY consoles] since the PS2 era. Otherwise there's no other way to explain why the PS2 was the cheapest DVD player and the PS3 the cheapest Blu-ray player for their times.
The sony event page has the event going for now 2 hours too :3
Bruh
I am so hyped
Really? DEFINITELY a ps5 console reaveal then. No way theres over 2 hours of ps5 games only. Has to be showing the console and explaining what it can do and the design of it and the airflow etc etc etc. Idk about price tho
I could see it. They probably planned on doing weekly updates but with the postponement just combined the first two
Bro whats the link.. i want to see it 👀
I think it is unlikely but, the PS3 was USD600 and it still ended up outselling the same generation X-Box.
If it's crazy expensive Amma just wait a few years
@@dstranger I'm the same... I plan on gaming on the Xbox One X for now since they plan to support it for a few more years, then I will upgrade to XSX and PS5 when they drop by $100 or so...
A good time to finally catch up on my 100+ game backlog 😅
@@nickstark8479 I mean that isn't a bad idea, if you're lucky you could even buy a USED PS5
I mean the ps6 might come out
That’s usual what I do with new consoles, I’m not a huge gamer but like to play now and then so no big deal for me to wait until the initial price drops
Also key to note that game sizes should be smaller due to no duplication of assets, restrictions of using mechanical drives. Maybe an 825GB drive will be fine on release .
They should sell at 400 with external hard drives at 100.
They already said that the PS5 can use any external drive, but only for storage of PS4 backwards comparable games.
Sony won't sell it at 400 right away because they want to make a profit
External mechanical hard drives won't be used for next-gen PS5/Series X games.
Only "last-gen" games from PS4, X1, 360, etc will work on external mechanical hard drives.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M Im pretty sure Xbox Series X Games wont be designed to take advantage of their SSD (because Series X game can be played on an OG Xbox One). So I imagine you can store Series X games on a legacy harddrive.
ekoms
XBSX will be designed around the SSD. The Xbox team confirmed that you can’t store them on an HDD.
The different SKUs situation seems fairly reasonable this time, because they said that the PS5 will have a secondary drive bay, so to expand the storage does not mean swapping the primary drive it just means installing into the secondary drive. So whether you get the lower or higher priced SKU you are likely getting the same system, with the same primary drive, just the more expensive one has the second drive bay already filled with an additional, likely identical SSD as the primary to double the storage. Which means unlike previously when you got the smaller drive version and were punished with having to drive swap later and deal with that hassle, it's probably as easy as just swapping a secondary hard drive into a laptop that has a secondary drive bay so both versions are appealing. It's more analogous to getting a console that comes with one controller or two.
Unless Sony decides to prove me wrong tomorrow and the higher storage one only uses the primary drive and just has an even bigger SSD in it, but even then they will still have the secondary drive bay which makes things ideal.
There is literally no benefit to getting a PS5 day one. We live in an age with constant online coverage and hands on videos. Just wait and see if its worth it.
If you are hyped for it or any other hardware/software, it's incredibly important to get it Day 1 so that all of your hype is fulfilled/justified rather than being left to fizzle out.
I'm just going to wait for a limited edition one .
I feel personally attacked reading this
Didn’t plan on getting it day one until they announced backwards compatibility. If it plays all my current games with better resolutions or more stable frame rate with newer games why not?
You get to play it and even if you don’t you could probably resell for more how the hell is there no benefits? Silly boy lol
Sony "leaked" a high price for Microsoft to come in with 550 and then Sony will correct to 500
Supposedly the technology in the ssd means it goes up in increments so 825gb, 1.65tb etc. You can’t just “put a 2tb ssd in there.
Put an SSD of 1.65 and then a hard drive for less demanding games so the number is round
@@nik021298 like a hybrid drive ? That would be cool (and expensive)
@@deltaecho4673 oh wow. That indeed would be really nice, but I was thinking about two drives a hard one to compensate for the 400 gb aprox. and an SSD 1.65 tb
@@nik021298 You can always add an external HDD for lower demanding games.
@@MrVelociraptor75 Yeah, I'm not really complaining about it. I'm just saying that they could release a 2 tb console if they wanted and it can't be done just with an SSD. Also 1.65 is a funny number, not very rounded.
$600 in 2020 is the equivalent of $471 in 2006.
$600 should be the standard price point Sony and Microsoft should be shooting for.
If Microsoft can hit a $500 price for the Series X, that’s akin to an Xbox 360 being $385 at launch. That’s an amazing accomplishment considering the technology in the new consoles.

I get you, but you don't have to cause this console will last more than the previous gen. God loves you my brother.

[Enter Username Here] nope
That's honestly not bad if it had a custom 2 TB SSD. A 2TB SSD for a computer at the store is about $250-$300 by itself. New technology is never cheap so not sure what people would be expecting. Gotta be realistic..
I knew someone is going to take that placeholder price and run away with it as a headline. Jesus. If the placeholder price was 200 no one would even do a clickbait video on it. Or idk maybe I'm giving this dude too much benefit of the doubt.
It is a placeholder if anything. They had two models on Amazon and both of them had the 599.99 price tag on them. Only thing I found interesting about this is the fact that there was a placeholder for two models with one having a bigger SSD in it. I am willing to guess if Sony plans to launch 2 models at launch we will end up seeing $399.99 for the base 825GB model and $499.99 for the 2TB model. Either way take this with a grain of salt until we get official word from Sony.
My bet is 400 for the 1tb and 500 for the 2tb.
Sony already announced there's only an 825GB. Probably only 800GB will be accessible though.
No that ssd at 2tb would be around 300 alone
@@blankblank224 Sony probably is gonna take the hit to make up in software sales tho
My guess is 500 for the "regular" ps5, no 2tb model at launch. And even at 500 they are probably losing money until software sales start rolling.
@ Hopefully.
Just so you know the 600 pound price will not be 600 dollars. The dollar any is usually the same as the euro amount
When ps5 pro drops I wouldn’t be surprised if it was $1k. Just sign me up.
FYI - £599.99 is around $765 USD, Sony aren't just gonna charge UK people a ton extra? If that price is accurate it will be minimum $750 in the US
I think due to the unique architecture of the custom build SSD, the NAND configuration landed at 825GB (This was by design), so it's safe to say anything listing >825GB is probably to be taken with a HUGE grain of salt.
For a 2TB console I think $600 is a good price. It's hard to build a gaming PC for under $600 at this time that can match the efficiency of the PS5, based off from what Cerney has shown us so far with the SSD and I/O. For me I'd be happy paying a little more knowing I have more internal next gen SSD space.
If entry level for the PS5 is $600, wonder if we'll see them repeat the PS3 launch's "Just work harder" mantra. Because, you know how well that went over...
Yeah, but the downside was that they had to remove backwards compatibility with PS2 games to make the next PS3 variants a lot cheaper [Making the PS2 chipset was very expensive]. That's why people are now selling the first variant at ridiculously high prices.
399 for digital version 499 for Reg then up for more storage
If the PS5 was sold at $600 in the US, it would sell at $800 in Canada, effectively making it twice as expensive as the PS4 when it came out for $400 in 2013.
To be honest, I'll happily pay $600 for a well-built, super fast console. Sony have consistently held the edge when it comes to squeezing out every last bit of performance from their consoles, and they definitely have a stellar exclusive line up. Cannot wait to see how developers exploit the high-speed SSD.
Remember last year when there were listings of "pre-orders" for the PS5 for up to $1000? If I remember correctly, Amazon might have been one of those stores. So yeah, you can't really take stores listings seriously. Most of the time it's their marketing people's anticipations or predictions.
Given the rumors about the technology, I don’t think $600 is too steep (especially when SSD is involved). And if there are cheaper models, then that won’t even be an issue. That being said, I’ll probably hold off on buying one at launch, since Sony’s launch consoles are usually plagued with issues. Either way, excited to see what they show off tomorrow!
What Sony should do is come out tomorrow and give us the appearance, price, release date, ps1/2 backwards compatible and at least 5 launch window games. Then each month until launch have a state of play showcasing one of the ps5 games.
It can’t be 2TB just because. It can only be 825GB or 1.65TB. They have 12 channels per in the system design so unless they make a PS5 Pro those are its options.
$600 isn't as crazy as it was 12 years ago, to me at least. Especially when you consider the tech that's promised. 2 TB of NVMe SSD storage was $600 alone just 18 months ago, and this will be faster.
If a 1.65 TB (2TB) model releases in the UK for £599.99 then it will most likely be $599.99 in the US since consoles generally market at a cheaper price in the US at launch. ($630.59 after Wisconsin Sales tax for example.)
Base price for both consoles are going to be $500 which, if you look at the specs, is a steal when considering the PC market. Even $600 bucks is still a deal but considering the current climate, both should be shooting for the lowest price possible.
So awhile back (like a year or 2 ago) they actually had surveys in the uk asking what people would be willing to pay for a 'next gen console' (this was before they confirmed it being called ps5). Anyway it basically asked 'how much is too much?'. Most people stated that £600 was the most they'd be willing to pay for ps5. I think most people would pay that (across the globe) if they truly have an amazing library of games and exclusive deals of xbox (as they had with the current gen). While I won't be buying a launch ps5 (not in the financial position for it) I would still save up for that amount and buy it however many months down the line.
I'll buy it if the games are appealing to me. I also bought the PS2, PS3, PS4, and Switch only when enough interesting games were released. Whatever the price for the PS5 is at that point, it still pays off in the long run compared to the Switch which sells it games at constant 40€ or 50€ even when those games aren't even 20hrs long (Astral Chain, Link's Awakening, Luigis Mansion 3) and are one or two years old, which is a big bummer for me perosnally. Much more than 500€ instead of 400€ for a console on launch day.
TBH having more SKU’s at launch is gonna strain stock per SKU, doesn’t really sound like the best idea until COVID-19 goes away
As a Canadian, $599 USD puts the PS5 at $803.00 + tax. Hard no for me at that price.
£599 is actually pretty cheap for what they're offering, considering a 2 TB SSD is like £450
The value of the dollar has decreased 27.18% since the ps3 was released. Keep in mind that as the hardware advances it becomes more expensive to develop and manufacture.
If you compare the price of a ps5 to a comparable pc, it's a great deal, even if it were more then $600.
I'm hoping Dead Space gets the Mafia treatment. Remake 1 to play and look better, remaster 2 & 3 to look better. One of my favorite series of all time.
People pay $1200 for a damn GPU but go crazy if a system DARES to ask for $600. If the system is worthy let them do it, give me quality please.
GBP600 would likely translate to USD700 in the US, that would be very expensive if this ends up being accurate
It's 2020 and not 2006. 14 years later 600 dollars shouldn't be upsetting anymore. With inflation 600 dollars today would have been around 470 dollars in 2006.
$600 from 2006 is the equivalent to $763 today. So, $600 for the 2tb PS5 model doesn't seem expensive to me.
Yeah but when companies list 1TB, 2TB, it isn't actually that... it's more like 900GB/1.8TB... You know this. So either it's actually 700GB models, or they're just being honest about how much space is in it, rather then the weird conversion rate that windows lists 1TB etc
The storage size is odd. I'd wager it's probably a 1 TB drive with about 100 GiBs reserved for the system, game asset swapping, etc. Converting GigaBytes to GibiBytes (GiB), a 1 TB drive is ~931 GiB in size, subtract around a 100 GiB and you're in the ballpark of that 825 GiB figure.
Are people still complaining about 600 for a gaming console that are sold at a small profit margin and lasts 7 years... when millions are upgrading their phones every 2-3 years for $1000 and at a big profit margin 🤨🤔
If people can buy 900 to 1100 phones. and 2000 - 3000 gaming pcs... THEN they can buy a potential 600 to 800 PS5.
The big hardware secret that Sony is still to reveal is that it's powered by a Singularity, basically a black hole.
600 pounds is rouphly 750 US dollars, price of 600 dollars in US is very unlikely
I wonder why console makers wait so long to allow preorders? I would think you could use that data as a minimum target number to have at launch. Maybe they don’t want the liability of not being able to deliver that number also. Especially now that the economic scene across the globe is grim in some regions. It’s all very interesting
I don't understand how people somehow expect any of the next consoles to be around 400 dollars. Also, there's always a lot of "listings" like this before new consoles are released which are usually very wrong. I would say the safest bet would be 500 for regular ps5. I don't believe there will be any model with 2tb at launch either. I'm not an expert, but my guess is that it would be a nightmare, not only in marketing terms but also in terms of production, especially considering the current situation with Covid-19.
I'm fine if there's a 2tb / $600 option. A 1TB NVME is $110-180 right now anyway, and will probably see a small spike when the PS5 comes out considering demand - in the end it's a savings for something I would have put in anyway.
I think a bunch of youtubers are out of touch when it comes to pricing. Yeah back when PS3 came out it was expensive but now people walk around with $800 to a $1000 dollar phone in their pockets. If it ends up living up to the hype, $600 would be a steal imo.
I would love to pay a lower price than $600 but many people spend $700-$1000 for a phone that they only keep for a year, maybe two. So why wouldn’t Playstation think people will spend $600 for something they’ll have for 5 years or even longer?
Chuck E cheese prizes are more expensive. 1,000 tickets for a stuffed animal?! Hot Damn
The lack of widely available models of TVs to experience the power of these next gen consoles will play a major role in dragging down launch success. I'd say possibly much more so, than system pricing out of the gate.
Then buy monitors lol it’s 2020 only boomers have TVs
Most people don't care about that
$600 in 2006 is about $760 today. I'm not saying $600 is cheap, but it's not like 2006 money.
If they have a 2 or more TB system I'll go for it. I see storage price and system price as separate costs. On phones it doesn't make sense most of the time because the price increase is too drastic, but with the PS5 it might make sense.
I'm totally ok with a 600 option, or even if that was regular price. We pay between 900-1050 almost annually, or atleast semi annually for smartphones, where 600 once every 5- 7 years for top notch gaming next gen consoles I'm totally ok with. I mean sure back in the PS3 time that was pricey, but advanced tech cost, and I'm totally in support to pay it.
