I just wanted to add in the SSD Hard drive, not really sure how long consoles will remain with the standard drives.. you would think by now they would consider the move to SSD, its so much better. Id much rather an SSD over more storage space in my opinion. My PC boots up quicker than my consoles and that's saying something. I agree the updated GPU will be a definite if they go with the premium model system, that's why I added more Ram on the Premium.

As for the price hike for PC parts, I was more referring to AMD since I think this is going to affect them a little. At the beginning of this gen we didn't have these price hikes and now we do. AMD will surely sell at a higher price you would think. Console makers will still get good deals however would they get deals as good as they did this gen? I would put my money on no as it stands right now. That's an area I am not good with so ill just wait and see, maybe these console makers have already struck a deal, if not than we might be paying more.  

Don't get me wrong. I believe the next gen of consoles will switch to an SSD. An M.2 SSD to be exact. And that while it will be based on the PCIEx4 interface the drives will be STA 3 speeds. 

But just pointing out that if there is going to be a difference between a base and premium console, it won't be with regards to the drive in the console. 

And as for price, whatever AMD charges them, it will be at least lower than Nvidia.
