It won't be $600... Sony knows that price point is unacceptable after the PS3. Also going $100 more than the Series X, which is a more powerful console, would be stupid and put them at a horrible disadvantage.

IMO, PS5 DE -$379 : PS5 SE $459

It will be $400/500 like I've been saying from the beginning. The fact that Microsoft will have a sku with a $100 advantage has to be troubling for Sony tho.

Where did you hear this? If anything SONY more or less stated that you can use 'off the shelf' non-proprietary SSDs.

That's what everyone is posting today. $399 for digital, $499 for disc.
So I guess we are getting some kind of confirmation sometime today.

Yea, What I mean is that the drives that will be compatible with the PS5 will be expensive when they come out.
Cerny said off the shelves drives need extra speed due to the extra priority lanes that the internal drive has.
They will need to test the new drives coming to see if it will run PS5 games. There's only been 2 SSD's announced that hit 7 GB/s read speeds. Everything is 5 GB/s or less right now.
Hopefully those 2 drives will be good enough to expand storage but they might be either too slow or get too hot so we just have to wait and see. We might have to wait for 7.5 GB/s drives but that's reaching the limits of PCIE 4 which is 8GB if you don't take overhead into account.
I wouldn't think about expanding until around this time next year. If I needed the extra storage. I'll just get a cheap external drive and swap games in and out of that.

All things considered, that $35 a month for the XSX is a crazy deal. It actually works out cheaper to finance it. I wasn’t going to pick up both consoles right off the bat, but it’s looking more like a day 1 for me

Sticking with $399 and $499 as my PS5 predictions.
For Canadian Dollar comparison.
Is that cheaper than the USD price after conversion?
- 17,519

As it stands now, yes. $499 USD works out to about $656 CAD using today's conversion.
That said, shipping over the border has increased since the USMCA. Not sure if it's a correlation or an increase due to demand, but shipping to anywhere in the US has increased.

How much are you saving over the 2 years? I don't even like financing cell phones... so curious what you're calculating that would make the slow draw worth it...

what’s a good monitor to fully display the new gen console’s power but catered to FPS games?

Here’s a chart breaking down the math on it
keep in mind this is interest free with no money out door. You’d be essentially pocketing that $500 (or $300) you would’ve spent (plus the cost of GPU), and end up paying a $20 less for both combined over the span of two years in the long run

Just like with how Netflix 10 or 15 years ago was dirt cheap at like $7 a month slowly started getting more expensive. Even if your just using Gamepass for PC and don't own a XBOX One, Series X or Series S console.
