Support NeoGAF

[sonomamashine]

Play-Asia hasn't confirmed what cables will come with the base console or even what the rear ports will look like. Expect a high-speed HDMI cable, USB Type-C, and power cable. An included microphone might be entirely optional given the array microphone that Sony is including inside the DualSense controller.

That's going to be a placeholder, because $699 wouldn't make any sense. Then they really over engineered that SSD.

Placeholder, but I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[VN1X]

It'll be 5 hondo.

 

[ToadMan]

I didn't see a price... anywhere

Did see this though:

PS5

• GPU: AMD Radeon™ RDNA 2-based graphics engine

Xsex

• Custom AMD Radeon RNDA Navi

So yeah - just place holders until real data is there...

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I think the vast majority here on GAF will be in for a surprise when the price is announced. This thing ain't cheap.

 

[MoreJRPG]

They pulled the price.

 

[prinz_valium]

The Dual Sense will definitely be $79

 

[DonPedro]

If you want to make a placerholder you might put TBD into the price area... not just any random high price

 

[Roman Empire]

I won't be buying any of the consoles at launch. I did learn my lesson with the PS3 and X360, both of them died in the first 2 years with the thermal paste going to shit and the console overheating before I learnt what the cause behind it was.

After that I always give at least a 6 month period before buying them. I still have my launch ps4 intact, and even one the launch controllers too. I sold my Xbox One after the exclusives started being brought up to the PC.

I will buy a PS5 and upgrade my PC for this gen since Gamepass is a godsend for me to get rid of one more box in my room.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

definitely a place holder. i expect the console to be expensive but not that high.

$500 i reckon it'll be for the all digital and maybe $600 for those who are still holding on to physical media.

to be fair both the PS3/360 had major design flaws. the PS4 has been fine for me since launch.

i might go the PS5/PC route too. makes more sense i think. i'll make my mind up when i see the prices of the new Nvidia cards.

 

[Zero707]

The console price is eehhh but Dualsence controller price is right

 

[Mista]

Yeah this can't be right. Its stupid to price it $700

I like the PS5/PC combo because even though I spend with upgrading the PC, I save money in the long run with games.

 

[Starlight Lotice]

Play Asia is expensive anyway.

However, I would take $50 off of the Console and $10 off the controller for a more realistic price.

 

[Andodalf]

No way in hell. Not US would kinda make sense in Cad?

 

[Mendax]

As if some random hongkong webstore would know the US price in advance, come on

 

[Saber]

Hard to believe, sorry.

Might be expensive, even I'm expecting that. But this price? Nah.

 

[chigstoke]

No way it'd be $699. That'd be just about the dumbest thing Sony could do.

£/$499.99 max, at least for the base config.

Still expect £/$499.99 for Xbox as well, possibly £/$449.99 if they try and undercut, but currently doubt it. Let's not get our knickers in a twist until the price is actually revealed.

 

[Shin]

The Dual Sense will definitely be $79

I don't see it, current model(s) cost $59.99, at best I'd expect a $10 price hike.

 

[TLZ]

100% placeholder. Price taken off anyway.

Btw I also see 2tb versions on there.

I didn't see a price... anywhere

Did see this though:

PS5

• GPU: AMD Radeon™ RDNA 2-based graphics engine

Xsex

• Custom AMD Radeon RNDA Navi

So yeah - just place holders until real data is there...

Oh man so the XSX was just customized RDNA 1 all along.

 

[Roman Empire]

As if some random hongkong webstore would know the US price in advance, come on

I wouldn't doubt that. Doesn't Foxconn produces the consoles? So it might be plausible.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

$699? I'll need two assholes to make extra money

 

[Pandor]

Maybe $699 with drive and $599 without drive?

I didn't see a price... anywhere

where did you find that?

 

[Ogbert]

I really wouldn't be surprised if it's that high.

We're going to be entering a global depression chaps. Both MS and Sony will be massively reducing their expected sales. Remember, we're enthusiasts - but it's the FIFA / COD crowd that really drive sales. They will be more than happy to wait until 21/22 to pick up the next model. For the time being, they might just keep the price high and then reduce it when the economy picks up again.

 

[Rien]

Thats probably the VRS edition. Exclusively designed for PS5. It will make the SSD speed feel like a relaxed walk in the park. Difference is staggering.

 

[MoreJRPG]

It would be PS3 launch all over again if it was $700, they would suicide the first year at that price point.

 

[FranXico]

It's obviously a placeholder. Manufacturers did not even tell retailers yet what the RPP is.

 

[Zane Zaminski]

499$ confirmed,and here's why.Back in the days,i buyed my vanilla PS4 from them,in launch period.Was not available in my country at release date(comes 4 months later),and I cannot find it in any store in Europe.Preordered from them at 600$.Basicly 200$+ over retail price.If they doing this again...here we go!!!

 

[scalman]

yes because they have no idea what price will be so .. $500 bring it on ..

 

[DeepEnigma]

These types of concern threads are always so silly based on placeholder, retailers are not going to know the concrete price until Sony or MS reveals them.

We see this all the time with other electronics especially televisions after CES. A placeholder will go up long before the MSRP gets listed.

 

[Eliciel]

699 is too much
79 ist realistic

 

[Frogman_676]

nope.

i do believe the controller might be that price, it's pretty nice and feature-rich.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

I'm willing to pay as much as $999.99 for a PS5.

 

[hunthunt]

I think they can ask 699$ and still sell like crazy this holidays, this is not 2006 anymore, rrss and media has made the hype for the Ps5 go to the clouds, also the xbox is releasing at the same time, no one wants the cheapest console with the worse games and the less hype, if people will want a console they want the best and premium, the one which has Spiderman, Gran Turismo and Naughty Dog, thr succesor from the best of the last gen.

 

[gundalf]

Yeah, placeholder price but I don't know, I feel like Sony would actually be comfortable selling the PS5 for a inflated price since the PS4 is still selling which gives time for a cheaper PS5 revision. The problem for Sony is Microsoft, because if they sell 100$ cheaper, then Sony has to act.

 

[Gravemind]

No way this thing can be $699? Right? Please dont tell me theres actual legs to these rumours.

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[splattered]

They weren't the only store to list this thing out at $699 and people didn't pull this number out of thin air for no reason...

With all the fancy tech inside this thing and the dualsense controller you can expect it to be very expensive.

$600 at least if they are willing to take a big hit.

I think Sony (Jim?) also already said don't expect it to be cheap because of what we're getting?

That being said, does $700 even matter to anyone that will be playing on this thing for the next 5-10 years?

 

[Rien]

You best buckle up. It’s going to be a expensive ride

 

[Majukun]

usually those pre orders without a real price announced just shot way up so that at worse they can tell you they are gonna charge less than what you were already willing to pay, while it could become problematic the other way around.

basically i don't think they know the real price more than anyone else

 

[Joey.]

I think its a placeholder but it could be very possible at the same time.
Sucks for all us outside USA, I'm Canadian so I expect atleast $100 on top of the USD price but these consoles are beasts and not cheap.

$699 USD - PS5 full version
$599 USD - PS5 digital version

but I'm really hoping for:

$599 USD -PS5 full version
$499 USD - PS5 digital version

I can't see them coming in much cheaper than that. I'll be super pleasantly surprised if so.
With that said, I'm Day 1 buying at any price. I'm a sucker and need this PS5 in my life.

 

[splattered]

You think they are trying to fake out Microsoft with a high price tag to get MS to set the price of XsX higher so Sony can undercut them?

 

[Zoro7]

$700 would be ridiculous. Especially if the Xbox is priced at 500.
Ill buy regardless but not everyone is in the same position. Sony must know this.

[longdi]

Starting at $599 is a near doa.

Then again, for pc parts, a pcie4 1tb ssd is already $200, a 8 cores zen2 around $250, 16GB is about $100, and the level of customisation in dualsense.

Imo Sony decided to go balls deep for the transition from PS4 to PS5, from an affordable fun box to a premium gaming experience. Because of PS4 success of course.

 

[EverydayBeast]

BasicLly the price of a PC

 

[yurinka]

My bet:
$499 with disc
$479 without disc

 

[Virex]

How long has Blu-Ray been on the market and people still can't spell it properly

 

[Jigsaah]

I'm not paying 700 dollars. This better be fake.
