LOL! You're right. Comments like yours when someone has nothing better to say... internet never fails. Hypocrite. Do you think they included 4K Blu-ray players because no one wants them or uses them? I haven't bought a 4K player because I've been waiting on the PS5. So for me to get the console first and foremost as a gaming device, with only having to pay $100 for a 4K Blu-ray player also built in is a pretty sweet deal. Versus having to buy a new console AND another $300-$500 for a stand alone 4K Blu-player.

What exactly is your problem here? The price point to high for you, so you automatically think it is for everyone else too? Everyone should hate Sony or MS now because $100 for a 4K drive is too much for you? I'm saving hundreds by killing two birds with one stone. It's firstly a game console, secondly a 4K Blu-ray player. You pulled that "never thought someone would be looking for a console to play 4K-blu-rays in particular" crap off the top of your head with zero basis for it. Go away.

Take it easy manchildren. I don't know what's with all your hostile shitty and always salty attitude of yours here all the time but hey it's internet I couldn’t care less.

Blocked, bark no more.

Now I want to see EA and every other company that puts excessive "cosmetics" and "surprise mechanics" in their game withdraw it from games for PS5, and if Blizzard still fires employees and pay them like shit I would consider it a scam.
Not even to mention that 3rd party titles will still look the same like before.

Talking about prices getting higher and higher: 80€ means 7% of our average monthly wage (Italy). Yesterday was 70€ (69.99€) but I don't get a raise since 1995.
Hopefully it will come out with bug and jailbreak.

What the hell man? Just change the f**ing job! Look for new opportunities, get another fresh degree,.. whatever just don't stay in the same place forever!

Says the guy posting hostile shitty messages to me with an attitude. Take a look in the mirror, hypocrite. You're the one that started with an attitude. Point the finger at yourself.

Thank you for your concern. Actually, I have a good job and 3 degrees but lots of my friend are happy if they find a job paid 30k per year, which means 1200€ after taxes.... Nice food in Italy though....

70$/€80 starting point is straight bullshit and using "games are getting more complex" is your downright bullshit excuse.
This is purely nothing but to feed the greed. And don't forget the microtransactions and endless bugs.

These "next gen" prices are bonkers. How can developers justify these prices when most games launch with game breaking bugs and glitches. Not forgetting loot boxes.

D34DL1N3R · Sep 17, 2020

The console pricing is fantastic, imo. But yeah. The game prices though. I'll admit I'm going to scalp my PS5 and most likely buy my own when God of War 2 launches. Might be a nice looking Limited Edition. But then again, Sony isn't known for amazing ltd ed designs. Except for this beauty right here: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/explore/ps4-pro/systems/500-million-limited-edition-ps4-pro-console/

There's still so many PS4 exclusives I haven't played. I'm almost tempted to sell my standard Pro, and along with the $ i get from the PS5... buy me one of those babies linked above on eBay.

Annnd...it's gone. Pre-orders sold out everywhere (both disc and digital edition). Guess I shoulda been more decisive if I wanted to guarantee I'd be playing Demon's Souls on launch day.

That .99 price is so idiotic imo...

True, but it starts with a 6 not a 7, it´s all on the psychology of starting with a cheaper number. /s

$70 for games sorry but games have only gotten buggier more like back to 49.99 and refunds for broken games give us our digital rights you bastards

so Xbox looking to do some damage next gen with their pricing, too bad they don’t have enough first party titles to launch their system

They have Flight Simulator. Sony doesn't, and it never will have anything even remotely as good as Flight Simulator. Too bad, Sony.

depaul · Sep 17, 2020

Pre-ordered the digital version. The 100€ difference was significant for me. And tbh I'm not using discs anymore since ps3 gen.

More post-event news is cropping up, after the debut of today's PlayStation Showcase. Not only did we learn that the console will be launching this November, we also got to see the price: $399.99. Sony also revealed that certain PlayStation 5 games will retail for $69.99, while some games thought to be PS5 exclusives will also release on the PS4. These games include Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and Horizon Forbidden West. Both the digital and physical versions of these games will offer free upgrades to the PlayStation 5 versions, should you choose to eventually play on the next-gen console.

The current launch lineup for the PlayStation 5 will focus on 5 titles from first party studious: Astro's Playroom, which comes pre-installed with the console, Demon's Souls which retails for $69.99 in North America, Destruction All Stars, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure.

so basically if you have a ps4 youd be stupid not to buy the ps4 version of miles morales especially since the next gen upgrade is free right?

I mean you may as well just get the PS5 because you get 99% compatibility for PS4 games as well as a ton of free games w Plus Day 1. Dont see why you'd buy a meh limited edition like that now.

Neither the PS4 or Pro has 4K Blu-ray support. Also, the 4K player on the One X and Series X are gimped.

(Oh dear!) So it's all about the quality of the drive itself and not the software on the unit that's worth at least $100? And you're under the impression Sony will be giving you such a high end experience on the disc version of the PS5?! You're really funny....

Look it up before posting, anywhere tech related will tell you such a drive will cost Sony no more than $30, and that includes all the driver licenses: but nay, you carry on thinking they buy the drives at consumer prices from their local electric store and fit them into their PS5 shells hehe...

No, it costs $100 more for the disc based version as Sony need to gain back more of the money they will lose to those customers buying physical copies/2nd hand copies/store discounted, etc. Not to mention the money lost by said store percentage takings, cost of manufacture, shipping... the big boys WANT you to buy digital as they simply get much more money off you that way, hence attractively targeting the price of the non-disc version: trust me they're losing more money per unit on that than they are on the disc based based one!
