The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

PS3 was $600 because they wanted to treat the PS3 like a super computer which made it expensive to produce. With the PS4, they realized that it doesn't need to have the most powerful hardware for it to be successful, it just needs to be powerful enough, which is why there was such a dramatic difference in price between the two systems at launch.

At the time when the PS3 came out, the hardware was comparable to a high-end PC.
The PS4 hardware is comparable to a mid-tier PC.

Leaving this here. Hope it ain’t actually this high

Same price for both versions? Not sure if I believe that.

Well, that PCIe 4.0 SSD in the PS5 would be around $400 if it were available to the public right now, so...

Hmmm.... that store is in the Philippines... That price is definitely questionable. I don't see storage capacity listed either.... Buyer beware.


edit: I must admit, I'm sort of willing to pay whatever for a 2TB one and done version.

 

[Platinum State]

Its not gonna be 699$ I promise you that.
All these prices for pre orders yall seeing are just place holders.
I dont think sony themselves know what should they price it.

Pretty sure Sony announced that their SSD is 825GB.

Play Asia is legit.

I bet if Microsoft releases the price of the series x first, Sony will mark the digital $50 cheaper and the disc the same

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

$349 for the digital
$449 for the regular

IMO

 

[kungfu koala]

499 - 599

 

[elvampino23]

I mean it’s crazy that Sony’s mid range 4K blu-ray player is $250.

$400 to $500 is still a bargain. I mean iPhones are over $1000 these days.

 

[dhart48]

I'm hoping some type of system is announced to make physical games I already own into digital lol for free

that's literally the only thing holding me back from going all digital, sucks because I haven't bought a physical game in minute and honestly am committed to going all digital

This is funny but sad at the same time,

VC and SA were so damn good, man, wish I could go back in time.

Ya'll gotta stop buying it, especially if you're not going to play it

That said, is it going to be free if you own it on PS4 already?

Only the online portion I think

 

[hybridsoldier23]

 

[swendro]

That they didn’t show footage is very weak.

 

[Based Jesus]

Only the online portion I think

Yeah they're making a standalone online version to be provided at launch
In case anyone isn't aware that GTA Online is their highest priority, here's them making it clear

 

[lamekilla]

Y’all sleep. There has to be a price point for the inevitable pro version

$449 for digital
$549 for disk based

Then the pro comes out a year later for $600 while the other 2 go down by $50 bucks.

And that preorder from Play Asia is looking really tempting. Preorders for this thing in a day and age where online bots run rampant can get bad and with the way thing have been this year with public gatherings having a preorder might be the only way you get a hold of one the first 1-2 weeks

 

[thehealthinspector]

599 worth of technology in a playstation console would be fine if some off brand company wasnt waiting in the wings to undercut it

 

[GTA 809]

$349 for the digital
$449 for the regular

IMO

Wishful thinking imo.
I just paid 400 for the PS4 pro. You think the ps5 is going to be cheaper?

 

[danikerhino]

$349 for the digital

I wish.

Everyone knows that...

My point is why didn’t play Asia list it plainly in the specs section of the preorder page? I’ve seen leaks that say we might get more than one storage option... it also doesn’t mention that the price will adjusted if it’s wrong... Nor has the pre-order been officially announced. Smells like a sneaker reseller move to me.

I spent way more than $699 on a SONY camera today. The price doesn’t bother me, I’m more concerned with the legitimacy and lack of detail offered...

Play Asia is legit.

Word... that’s cool... why are they selling standard 1TB PS4 Pro’s for $500+?

source is eurogamer via reddit but this is wild if true. xbox fan boys gonna have a field day with theyre smile mask on

Without the stand the PS5 is similar to the PS3
