By Daz Go To PostI dont know about that - 399 seems too low.
a digital $399 version means sony is earning that money back more quickly because everyone is forced to buy from psn, undercutting the middle man (gamestop, best buy, walmart, etc.). i can see it. $449 for the regular version sounds about right to me.
in terms of pricing, from highest to lowest, imo:
1. xsx
2. ps5
3. ps5 digital
4. lockhart
By data Go To PostThese posts from journos always come off with a strong 'hope she sees this bro ' vibes.Huh?
By inky Go To PostI was browsing Amazon and the X1X Cyberpunk edition is $500 here, the Pro is $550 and OOS so… I'm going with $700 for the digital version and $750 for the PS5 and XSX minimum.
Completely forgot about those fuckers.
Cheapest Pro is 355€ in Germany with no games.
Cheapest XB1X is 299€ (with a game).
How are these next gen consoles supposed to drop for barely 100 bucks more in 6 months?

I could have sold my switch for 500 bucks easily during peak covid times.
Demand for Pro also went up. XB1X is still an MS console and you know how much they sell over here :P

Those of yall thinking $399 should probably realign your expecations.
Q: And as we enter a period of economic uncertainty, is it a good time to be releasing a new machine?
A: Conventional wisdom and history show that our business is one of the more recession-proof businesses. But I think this will sharpen our need to ensure that we focus on getting the value equation right. And I emphasise value as opposed to price.
We must be more attentive than ever before to ensure that the overall value proposition in terms of the console and the games - the range of games, the quality of games, the quantity of games - makes this something that our community aspires towards.

I figured most gave up on 399 long ago. I guess maybe the digital version could be close. I do think that version will be more than 50 cheaper but wouldn’t be shocked if it was 450/550

Pro was hovering around 300 before covid. Makes me believe that we should brace for 500-600€.
If Sony were smart, they'd lower the barrier of entry and raise PS+ once more. Flood customers with cheap, indie games via plus to let them have "value" straight away. They raised the price in 2017 and 2019. Time for another raise in 2021.
449$ Digital 499$ Regular PS4
Lockhart probably the same price as a One X so 299 $ ?
SXBOX 499$ or 599$ with game or 2.

By aka Espi Go To PostMy iPhone has never autocorrected GranDunno how it works. I can never use it, i hate you people with your auto correct priviledge.
By jjasper Go To PostPS4 pro is pretty bad too.
Both series X and PS5 stand out in that line up. I think I like both.
Yeah I actually like the new box better. I like simple. I ultimately don’t care tho.
People had the same visceral reaction to the dual sense - but over time - alot of them came around.
I can see why some would consider it 'ugly' its really fucking weird - its both clean/sleek and busy at the same time.

It’s always the same song and dance Daz. People just need to vent, it will be hard to resist this beauty.
now that i think about it, lockhart will assuredly be 299 or 349 since it's gonna be like a one x with a better cpu + more ram i assume--ms isn't gonna be *that* serious about it
By domino Go To Postits definitely ugly but it really doesnt matter how it looks.at the end of the day, if it plays stuff well who cares
By bud Go To Postlooks so much better.Much better
i still think that that one shot (probably only applies to that actual screenshot; i'm sure it looks better in motion in the remake) with the overlit skies looks better in the original.
i like it.
By syrenity now! Go To PostYea they need to release with a black version ASAP
By Daz Go To PostPeople had the same visceral reaction to the dual sense - but over time - alot of them came around.You can probably count on your hands how many electronic products that people liked the look of when announced.

how can you not like those audacious horns and the cape
no reilo but i genuinely love it

By aka Espi Go To PostYou can probably count on your hands how many electronic products that people liked the look of when announced.Videogame consoles in general have a shit record of good looking design hardware. Legit only three come to mind that looked great on announcement and aged well:
OG PS2, PS2 Slim, OG PS4
Everything else is either a gray or black slightly curved/rounded box. Unless you're Microsoft and didn't want to offend anyone with the XSX design so you stacked two Gamecubes together and painted it black.
By data Go To PostDreamcast, Sega SaturnUgly as sin, my guy. It's the culmination of cheap plastic 90's electronics design.
By reilo Go To PostUgly as sin, my guy. It's the culmination of cheap plastic 90's electronics design.How can you say that and say the PS2 OG looks good?
By data Go To PostHow can you say that and say the PS2 OG looks good?I mean if you're arguing Dreamcast is a good looking console and Playstation 2 is not, then I have no words for how wrong you are.
digital ps5 in black... not completely awful (by gaming standards). reilo almost right, gaming hardware has always had embarrassing design, with xbox one s/x being the exception
By rerixo Go To Postdigital ps5 in black… not completely awful (by gaming standards). reilo almost right, gaming hardware has always had embarrassing design, with xbox one s/x being the exceptionOh yea, Xbox One X is a pretty good design for gaming hardware, too. It's in line with OG PS2 minus the horizontal slotted grates -- which I think was their inspiration.
Xbox Series X is just laughable in how they went out of their way not to do anything with it. I'm all for minimalism but that thing went too far in the wrong direction.
I am indifferent to the colors but every gen there are jokes about black square boxes and then someone does something different and now people are complaining cause they don’t have their black square box.

I just wish we could get more than a single color right off the bat instead of having to wait years sometimes.
