So About That PlayStation 5 Price…



PlayStation Boss Jim Ryan was speaking to BBC and said that the video game industry is “Recession Proof” and that the PlayStation 5 (PS5) will be more about value as opposed to price. Is he hinting that Sony’s next-gen console is going to be expensive?

  1. The Ultrawide Guy

    So about the PlayStation 5 Price. It hasn’t been announced yet. FIN.

  2. Lightspeed Murphy

    “I don’t care if it looks like a giant version of this screwdriver”
    So basically the Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver

  3. I understand that they’re trying to move us into this whole “you don’t own it, you just rent it” thing but I’m not playing that game. It’s discs or nothing, I’m not downloading sheeeeyat

    • Except that you probably do download a lot more than you think.

      The thing is though even if you buy a physical copy there is so much of that games data that will still be digital only. Patches, DLC and so on. The games for 8th gen and beyond is not going to have the same resale value as older games since they will be effectively incomplete once the servers go down and you can no longer get your hand on what is very often vital patches.

    • @Zack Rodriguez I dont like digit because accounts get hacked, ban and password get lost.

    • @john elgato So is the sun expanding and swallowing the earth. That doesn’t make it a good thing!

  4. “If you can’t afford things, you probably shouldn’t buy it” – Some really smart guy

    • If you can’t afford then you should of been saving to buy it just cause you cant afford dont mean you cant prepare and plan ahead and get it you learned that in first grade with the lemonade stand

    • @Riverdale tales wow who told you that I cant buy 2 houses but I own one dam I guess I’m fucked stupid me

    • For me, buyin’ it in 2+ years is smart. Still got tons of games to play. I don’t need to rush into it just cause it’s the newest thing.

    • Yeah I agree with smart guy

  5. Unlikely Impersonator

    I’ma still buy it after seeing Demon’s Souls

    • @Mr.Fox Demon’s souls was the first souls game though, it was the reason I bought a ps3.

    • stateofmind YT's brother

      @FireEffects Gaming ur right but facts show that Xbox is better but I’m still getting ps5 depending on the price

    • FireEffects Gaming

      @stateofmind YT’s brother the Xbox is only better by a little bit anyways.

    • FireEffects Gaming Demon Souls won’t be an exclusive you pleb.

    • @stateofmind YT’s brother *facts show that Xbox has higher teraflop count. Teraflops is no indication on what’s the better unit, it’s hinting that it’s slightly faster though.

  6. the price of more SSD storage would just offset the lack of Blu-Ray drive.

  7. i still freaking watch blurays and dvd along side streaming. Of course i want the disc version.

  8. Undoubtedly. It’s like those ads that won’t tell you the price of something but just say it’s “surprisingly affordable.”

  9. You got me thinking when you mentioned storage. Since the digital edition is going to be very reliant on storage, what if it comes with a bigger storage capacity than the normal edition but they release at somewhat the same price. And you actually get to choose what you prefer, disc, or more storage

    • I’ll be getting disk even if I only play 1 in 10 disk games it will still be limiting to have no disk.

    • Everything installs to the ssd since PS5 games will require the ssd as far as data access goes, disc is too slow (was so with current gen). PS4 games can run off an external hdd/ssd to save internal space. The disc drive will just be for installing or for movies.

    • The disc version will have the same problem since the entire game is installed to the SSD. I don’t see why they even bother with discs anymore. Especially considering most games require an entire game worth of patches to be downloaded.

  10. In 2013, when the ps4 launched, the flagship-state-of-the-art iPhone 5s shipped at a price of 649$. Fast forward to 2019, the iPhone 11 pro max launched at 1.099$. Nowdays all top tier phones cost more than 1.000$. Technological progress isn’t keeping up with the costs of the products. I’d say around 599$ for the ps5 is a good guess.

  11. i like the disc option. there are times when retailers have incredible sales and online does not. for example, games like fifa and cod are always $99 aud online at launch but are $69 or $79 aud at target.

  12. Well seeings Sony tends to under price their items and with this technology I’m betting around 550 or 650

  13. Sony : We pulled a Ubisoft because we like $$$

  14. Im getting the one with disc drive because i want to play my ps4 discs on ps5, if its possible, but most likely it will be

    • Iwill Hurtyoubuddy

      never understood this, waste all ur money on new gen and play trash old gen games on it, makes no sense to me.

    • Kerninja the Frog

      @Iwill Hurtyoubuddy not sure about the ps5 but for the xsx, they have automatic, free game enhancements e.g. hdr and higher frames with for old games so that is definitely an incentive for me and a lot of other people to keep playing our old games on xsx

    • @Iwill Hurtyoubuddy because some old games stay great even with low resolution. Most games today looks similar and only few have great stories.

    • @Iwill Hurtyoubuddy Retro gaming is a thing you know. I don’t know how old you are but you must have liked dozens of games before and would like to play them again due to nostalgia.

  15. My card when I’m about to buy the ps5: Swiper no swiping.

  16. Lmaoooo I thought I was the only sales guy here …I’m like rigggghhttt value……lol

  17. 2:09 in a nutshell: “we waitin til microsoft reveal their price first”

    • @MitchNM ya a solid 1080p instant load time pc is going to run you at LEAST 800$ esp if ur opting for ray tracing (2060 Super with 1tb nvme and 16 gigs ram 3200mhz is the standard and thats “low end/value” – and assuming ur building it urself and own a windows key)

    • @Bob Bobson I can’t wut? What comment did I see this from?

      Edit: I have 0 IQ. Didn’t realise you were refering to the other guy

    • @Iwill Hurtyoubuddy An i9 or AMD equivalent alone are almost as expensive as a brand new console. PC gaming is cool because of the huge Steam community and the variety of games, but those kids saying they can build a “tOp GaMiNg RiG” just end up spending a lot of money just to play Fortnite in 720p

    • Iwill Hurtyoubuddy you never built a pc in your life. Everyone knows in the pc world that these consoles are the closes it has ever been to a high end pc.

  18. I don’t care what the price is, I’m getting mine from taco bell yo

  19. I think its more power the no dic drive ps5 will have 2-4 tb of memory so it be $599.99 us & 699.99 2-4tb dic console the day and age are changing if its more tbs as memeory & power you are going yo pay the defences I think you think the ps5 the same as the ps4 pro so they might go all out on this ps5

  20. I totally agree with the 400 and 500 prices, the all digital PS5 must be $100 cheaper to make it worth and then I’ll be getting the digital model.

  21. “Did you get it?”
    *Thanos holding a PS5* “Yes.”
    “What did it cost?”
    “Everything.”

  22. Sony: get on your knees and open the your mouth for the ps5

  23. Wow that experience was clearly very valuable.

  24. @RE fan wrong Mark cerny said you can play games from external drive on ps5

  25. @RE fan you won’t be able to find those ssds out until a little market catches up , in the meantime external hard drives are easy to come by and I found a 4 terabyte hybrid drive for $60
