Forums - Sony - Leaked Price of PS5 - MAJOR GRAIN OF SALT

£349 and £449, damn the former is cheap. But myself prefer disks, the installs were quicker. Took me three hours to download Odyssey yesterday, screw that.

I'm down with this. Lower is preferable but thats just about what I'm willing to pay. And yeah its always nice to have a physical copy that you can fall back on if you need to install something and doesn't require you to download in the background.

That and the digital if the prices for the UK digital store is well, frankly a bit crap. If prices were the same like in the US, it would be more inciting. As prices they are now - £55 for a new game (TLOU2 is still this price) the initial saving probably isn't worth it, especially it if you plan on buying a lot of PS5 games. Also games drop in price so fast in value these days that you can find a game much cheaper a month after launch, if you are patient.

I only buy when on sale anyways, like you said, they fall fairly quickly.



I would have believed it until I saw all the accessories are the same price, especially the headphones and remote. Must be placeholders.



Why should I belive the new controller is 49.9€ when the ps4 controller is least 59.9€ ?

Wasn't the bill of materials for PS5 leaked to be $450? And that doesn't include shipping costs, they have to pay to ship them to retailers. Would be shocked if they were willing to sell PS5 digital at more than $50 loss.

BOM for PS4 was around $381 and they sold the system for $399.

The BOM is for the “normal” version with disc. So yeah, I reckon $399/499 is about right.

Lmao 50 usd for a remote whichs production cost is 5 cents.

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

There is NO WAY that that headset is 49. Its at least 100. So yeah placeholder



Sony could sell the discless version for 200 less than the disc version and still make a profit.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I'm definitely getting a disc version no matter the system I choose, but the price point for the discless version is really good. And it makeses sense because as people move to digital, sony and the developers make more money, so I understand it from a push to digital move from sony. Still, sounds too "cheap" so I will take it with a huge grain of salt.

Assuming the user bought enough games, then yeah.
