| JEMC said: Regarding the price of the PS5, Peter Rubin (the one who interviewed Cerny for WIRED) has tweeted that he asked about the price, and the response he got was "I believe that we will be able to release it at an SRP [suggested retail price] that will be appealing to gamers in light of its advanced feature set." What that does mean is to anyone's guess. |
As for the potential for the price to be higher than the norm, say $500 USD ( that would almost certainly translate to $600 CAD ), I'm fine with that personally. The 60gb PS3 cost almost $700 ( $684 ) with 14% sales tax when I bought it in Canada. And that was after it's first price cut. Ha. Factor in inflation and it's even more in retrospect. As long as it delivers the goods, an extra $100 above what is considered palatable by what seems to be a majority is fine by me. I'm well aware it probably would be better for the platform if there were at least a more economical sku, but for something that will last years, I'll pay a little extra without hesitation.
