PS5 build cost more than 450 USD , Sony probably having a hard time deciding the retail price

[SvennoJ]

I bought 2 ps3's at launch at CAD 650, bring it on. (2nd was purely for blu-rays since the ps3 was still cheaper than a standalone blu-ray player at the time)

US 499 would be CAD 650 again today, no problem. It's CAD 662 at today's rate but shops still like to round to the nearest 50. The XBox One X is actually quite cheap here at CAD 599 (Still US 499 afaik)

Anyway I hope they don't make last minute changes and put less ram or less storage in it to keep it cheap :/
