Ah so that brings the list to (before tax)
Australia US 455 US 508 ($559 after 10% tax)
Canada US 501 ($566 after 13% tax)
China US 464 ($525 after 13% tax)
Europe US 458 ($550 after 20% tax the average, Andorra is as low as 4.5%, Denmark 25%)
Japan US 441
Mexico US 538 ($625 after 16% tax)
UK US 472 ($566 after 20% tax)
So now it's only Mexico where it's more expensive than in the US, which might be because of higher import duties.
Lol Nintendo just re-assured they won't raise the price. They already did with the OLED model.... After 5 years and still no price reductions.
MS' deep pockets are only getting deeper with the value of the dollar outpacing everything else, thus no need to raise. Plus their biggest market is in the strongest currency. For MS now is the time to spend their dollars.
@Mummelman Same here. Things that were 1 dollar before the pandemic are now 1.25 or 1.33 even. Everything that was priced at 6$ is now 7$. Meat has gone up more. My favorite smoked garlic honey sausages are now 16$ instead of $12. Strawberries now cost $5.50 instead of $4 for a box. Compared to before the pandemic I now pay 20 to 30% more for groceries.
A 4% price hike for the ps5 is still bad but compared to everything else not terrible. Electricity, Internet, Netflix (went up 1.50 again to 16.50 for standard plan), all more expensive. The same laptop is now $100 more, 700 instead of 600, 16% increase. Bad times.
