Okay yeah that's the digital base PS5, but it's £329!

So the question is, if Sony can sell the PS5 at these prices what's going on?

If this either:

1) This is a combination of Sony having their supply chain in order + time bringing the cost down + Xbox producing far less consoles now so the manufacture price has gone up for them + Switch 2 being at the most costly time in it's supply life (i.e: the start)

or

2) Is everyone else trying to rip us off?!
