If PS5 is announced today with a price of...

[Josh378]

There is a possibility today that Sony May release the price for the PlayStation 5. Based off the bill of material rumor, most likely we might see a $500 Playstation system release price at launch in November 2020.

Me personally, $500 is my limit unless I sell my PlayStation 4 to cover the extra $100 if it's priced at $600. Definitely will be here at launch buying the system since it is backwards compatible with the PlayStation 4.

What are you guys thought some process on this?

 

[TheInfinityGauntlet]

I hope it's $501 just to break your limit

Price is whatever to me, people (myself included) spend so much on phones which last maybe half the time of a console

 

[MJForum Poster]

Anything $600 and under is reasonable in my book with the tech that they're packing in there.

The PS4 was a great value at $400 in 2013 but trying to play games on one for the last few years has not been a good experience.

 

[Nero3000]

As long as it's not ridiculous, i'm fairly price insensitive.

 

[Rodelero]

PS4 was £349. £399 I'm delighted. £449 is what I expect. £499 is the limit of what I think I'd spend. I'll be offloading my PS4/XO before launch.

 

[Soviet]

They will not release the price today.

 

[Powerofthecloud]

I hope it's 599 just to watch the world burn in here.

 

[Chaystic]

I have no limit, will buy it day 1.

 

[Chronology]

Maybe I'm the outlier here but it's really way less about price than what games are available at launch for me. It'd be great if it was $400 or even cheaper (not that I expect that), but I really wanna see what's launching with it first. Hell, I'd pay up to $600 depending on the games

Spoiler

new wipeout sony pls

 

[JoJoBae]

Anything over 400 dollars is a no go for me. Don't care what kinda tech it has.

 

[Arc]

I'm preordering regardless of price.

 

[Deleted member 47076]

I'll buy it at $500 but probably several months later.

 

[Weebos]

$499 is too much to spend to play a bunch of launch window games. I'll wait for a price drop and for something worth playing.

 

[Etrian Darkness]

I'd be surprised if it wasn't $500+ honestly.

 

[Lobster Roll]

Your poll is missing the option:

"It's $499, which is a steal. So I'm buying Day 1."

 

[Bard]

Don't care what price it is, I'll only buy it in a few years most likely.

 

[Deleted member 26746]

PS5 + games + accesories = $1000

is just a matter of how many games I'll bring home at launch.

 

[Greywaren]

I'd never spend more than 400€ on a console, as a rule. If I have to wait until a price drop, I'll wait.

 

[JasoNsider]

People are freaking out about price, but I give it a very low chance we see it today. It's not the right time yet. I give it like 60% chance of even seeing the box.

 

[BitsandBytes]

See ArmGunar's very detailed post about possible pricing. It most likely won't be announced today, though.

 

[Kouriozan]

They won't announce a price and half a thousand without games or accessories is huge.

 

[rpm]

Games are more important to me.

My PS4 is an exclusives machine. I'll buy a PS5 when there are enough exclusives to warrant a purchase.

If Japanese publishers step up their game on PC, I'll probably never buy a PS5 tbh, much like how I never bought a XB1/will probably never buy a XSX

 

[black070]

I don't really think I can complain about price when my phone probably ends up costing double that. The cheaper the better though ofcourse.

 

[Jump_Button]

They not going to say they still alot of time to do so unless it super low

 

[Greigor the FellHand]

at most I think 449.99

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

$499 is what I'm expecting and I'm in at the price. If there was a more premium version at $599 I'd probably consider it because games use so much storage these days.

 

[HBK]

Price is irrelevant unless it's something stupid like 1000$

What's relevant is what's delivered at that price.

Hardware, services, games, etc.

 

[Sec0nd]

For me, it's not so much the price itself as it's the price difference between the two consoles. I'm probably going to be a console day 1 regardless. But if there is a $100+ difference between the two that'll definitely influence my opinion slightly.

 

[Fjordson]

Price doesn't really matter to me, so long as we're in triple digits territory I'm buying it.

But either way, have a gut feeling that we aren't getting the price today.

 

[Nights]

Nothing over 400+ And not even 400 if there's nothing that personally interests me. I'll wait for a price drop or a special deal. 500$ is too much for something I can get way cheaper in a few years as it'll probably be my supplementary console anyway.

 

[nanskee]

$499 is not that high for a launch, but I won't buy one till like 2-3 years down the line, unless flatmates come together to purchase one

 

[liquidtmd]

If a decent 1.65TB pack with two pads and another extra is out, I'd go upto £599 - price isn't a major concern, but their attitude needs to be right

Base for others needs to be sub £499 at least

 

[random88]

- it's high, but I'll buy at launch (if new Gran Turismo is a launch title)

Yep, this is pretty much how I feel too.

 

[Xando]

I'm probably gonna spend close to 1k on a GPU this year so i don't really care if its 499 or 599.

 

[smurfx]

i'm more interested in what the hell the price of the add on ssd will be. i imagine that most people will have to buy an add on fairly quick into the ps5's life.

 

[pswii60]

Expecting $450-500.

And would still get one day one for that. Especially if the rumours of a new Ratchet at launch are true. But mostly because FOMO.

Can't see how it can possibly be $400 without Sony taking a huge loss. But then their PS Plus revenue is so high that maybe they'd do it.

 

[Hentailover]

Other- (Pricing doesn't matter to me, I can't afford it anyway)

 

[nsilvias]

400 max
id rather spend the rest on games

 

[johan]

It's a business expense for me so ultimately the price doesn't matter

I expect it to be more than 500 at least

 

[HanSoloCup]

This is exactly my thoughts. Although, I really hope we see that box.

 

[UraMallas]

Other. Pricing is $500 and not high ‐ I'll buy at launch.

Price doesn't really matter to me, so long as we're in triple digits territory I'm buying it.

But either way, have a gut feeling that we aren't getting the price today.

Well, you'll buy it if it costs $999??

500€ is a reasonable price for a day one console. More than that is crazy.

 

[His Majesty]

I expect 599.99

buy at launch depends on lineup

 

[ffvorax]

If retro with PS4 is confirmed, 499€ will be ok as long as some stores will discount it if I give them back my PS4 PRO.
If retro not confirmed I will wait, because I still have many games to play before the next gen... :P

 

[jobrro]

I would probably preorder at any price, then take the next few months before launch to see if it is still worth that price to me. If not, I would cancel. But I probably won't cancel.

 

[ShinAmano]

In at whatever ha.

 

[TheAggroCraig]

The pricing doesn't matter to me (Unless it was like $800 or something insane), they would really have to put something crazy out at launch for me to consider buying day 1.

 

[Wulex]

500€ its ok for me, but it depends a lot from today i guess

 

[Ferrs]

Honestly, I'm not sure.

599 is an absolute NO GO. 499.... I don't know, it depends on where I am at launch, and what titles it launches.
