How will Sony announce the PS5 price tonight?

[Genetrik]

Alright let's do a last minute voting for fun before tonight.

How will Sony announce the price tonight? Or will they still not talk about it and do it sometimes later?

I say a blog post after the showcase tonight.

 

[TheGhost]

Probably the same way they announced the design except with a price at the end?

Then another screen showing the ore-order date?

pretty standard stuff

 

[Mediking]

Might as well save it for right after the first game is shown

 

[Toumari]

At the end of the show, but within the show itself.

 

[catboy]

the presenter will begin stripping only to reveal that they are wearing a complete suit which resembles a human being. this will be removed then discarded and the entity present underneath will be shaped like english numbers.

 

[bing]

With a three minute long music video featuring bouncing balls

 

[FelipeMGM]

if its good news, at the end of the showcase

if its bad news, at the start

 

[Forearm_Star]

They won't

 

[Ravelle]

Like a gender reveal party within a big balloon.

 

[Lord Fanny]

I feel like we've had a dozen threads asking some variation of this question ever since the weekend lol

 

[crimilde]

With over the top graphics just like the console reveal.

 

[egg]

Probably the same way they announced the design except with a price at the end?

Pretty much what I was thinking. End montage and show the consoles and have the prices fade in beside the consoles.
Consoles and prince disappear and the release date is shown with a pre-order date.

 

[Mashy]

PS5 DE $449 then mic drop and stream cuts to black.

 

[Flayer]

It will be during the event. Either very near the start or as a drop the mic moment at the end (if the price is low).

 

[Duxxy3]

They'll do it at the end or the beginning of the showcase. Probably followed up by a blog post with more details.

 

[DarkStream]

By announcing it. /s
Can't we just wait for the event? It's a matter of hours.

 

[YozoraXV]

It will be before the showcase or during it. Any other time and there will likely be chaos.

 

[digitalrelic]

My guess is they spend the showcase trying to convince us why we need it, and then share the price / when preorders go live / release date at the end.

 

[P A Z]

Spell it out with fireworks

 

[EssBeeVee]

watch they do the same style as the ps5 reveal. the price will be hidden throughout the video.

 

[YaBish]

There's going to be a bingo cage filled with 70 little ping pong balls that Jim Ryan will spin. Each ping pong ball has a different price on it. Whatever one he picks for each version of the console will be the price.

 

[werezompire]

Imagine the most expensive gender reveal party ever...

 

[Yuntu]

This is actually a good question. It could free them up time to just talk games if they share that before the event.

 

[Deleted member 56752]

It's gonna be in a video

 

[starrywhispers]

It will be announced at the end of the showcase. They always save the big stuff till last to keep people watching.

 

[Era Uma Vez]

Jim Ryan opens up the show and says:
Listen up, nerds.
PS5 is gonna cost you 499$, or 450$ for the digital edition.
Here's why you'll pay for it:
40 MIN BARRAGE OF NEXT-GEN GAMEPLAY

 

[wideface]

They'll get Kaz Hirai back just for the announcement.

 

[HockeyBird]

599 US dollars will be stolen from the credit cards of PSN users

 

[Arubedo]

No price, Soony gotta wait until October (Please Sony don't do that, for my sanity)

 

[Bus-TEE]

The guy from Syphon Filter comes on screen.

He tells you to look under your seat.

You reach under your chair and find an envelope.

You are stunned.

"Open it", he says.

You do so trembling with excitement.

There's a piece of cardboard inside.

You pull it out.

The card reads "Get a second job" signed Ex-CEO Kaz Hirai.

Syphon Filter guy winks.

Screen goes blank.

 

[GronkyKong]

The very last thing in the presentation, prices and pre-order going live tomorrow.

 

[Deleted member 17990]

God I hope its less than XSX lol

 

[Azubah]

I'd like them to announce it like they did the price for the PS1.

 

[Rooster]

I'm not expecting anything but games.

 

[Bradbatross]

After the show in a blog post.

 

[evrythngwastakn]

"$399/$350. Here's Spider-Man. We out"
35 second video.

 

[Skeff]

Pretty much what I was thinking. End montage and show the consoles and have the prices fade in beside the consoles.
Consoles and prince disappear and the release date is shown with a pre-order date.

Nah Jim needs to gloat and talk about unprecedented Value.

I'll guess 5 mins from the end followed by Jim gloating, a quick summary and then one more thing megaton (GoW 2 if they feel its needed)

 

[aisback]

At the end of the showcase with pre-order date and release dates.

 

[Mubrik_]

At the end Most likely

Spoiler

Cerny in a tub

 

[Servbot24]

Hang on let me check the power point slides I'm currently uploading the PlayStation channel

 

[janusff]

they'll do the balls thing again at the very end but instead of a console, it'll be Jim Ryan's face with a tattoo of the price on his forehead

and then a balls outro

 

[I_love_potatoes]

if its good news, at the end of the showcase

if its bad news, at the start

This.

What better way to distract people from an unexpected high price by showing a bunch of games.

 

[Rosebud]

Would be weird to announce on the blog after a showcase...

 

[The Praiseworthy]

The end of their show.

 

[ichigoww]

The two alternatives on my mind are: just at the beginning of the showcase, or at the end as some sort of "see all those games? well, this is the entry price".
I'm probably wrong, but I still expect some sort of announcement today.

 

[Deleted member 543]

By spinning a wheel of fortune. Wherever it stops is the price.

Then they do a lottery draw for the date.

 

[mattynunchucks]

Peter Moore materializes out of nowhere with a tattoo of the price

 

[Fisty]

They said games showcase, so im hoping they arent being literal and its JUST games

Like, id be fine but the expectation is very clear at this point

 

[Wackamole]

You'll see soon enough.

 

[mtel]

End of the show. Said by an exec (Jim Ryan?) if they are confident in their price; announced in a video if they aren't.
