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

Depends on the launch games. Doubt I will get one day 1. But I could see myself paying 500€ with a nice selection of games.
Unless you're in financial trouble which is obviously understandable, I find it funny how $100 can easily sway in a device that a person will use for 500 hundred hours if not more.
I don't think pricing or pre-order will be available today sadly. But, I would 100% put a credit card on file with Amazon if they offered that as a placeholder for a pre-order. When the price is released just hit my card and we are solid.
It will be released within the next 3-4 months and rumours its starting to go into mass production. Id be amazed if they dont show the box.
For me its the principle of the thing. 400 isnt too bad but 500 is taking the piss and ill leave it.

Totally fine paying 500$ for a console, we use these god damn things EVERY single day for at least 7-8 years.
This ^^^^ I got my money's worth and then some for the PS4 Pro I bought in 2017
It's the exact type of thing I don't get... people don't do that for phones, coffee machines whatever... but consoles? Hell nah not gonna go a cent over the magical number I've got in my head!
Well i don't carry 2-3 phones do i? I've got an Xbox, Switch and mainly a PC I don't really NEED a PS5.
If the price is ok and launch looks good ill pre-order for day 1....if its a bit steep i wont. Not that hard to understand tbh.
Price doesn't matter to me. In my country it will be high anyway and that's why I'm saving money for the PS5.
I'm not expecting to hear price announced today, but I am concerned about what Canadian pricing will be, especially with my cash flow being challenged by the pandemic.
$499 USD is ~$675 Canadian dollars right now. I'm not sure Sony would take the cash hit and make it 599 here if its 499 in the States. That is, of course, unless they try to bring down initial hardward price by subsidizing with a subscription model to a games service.
Either way, probably a holiday 2021 purchase for me.
Depends on the lineup. I'm not going to buy one just to buy one if the games aren't there.
I have a new PC that's running everything out there now with max quality, so if it's just a bunch of 3P stuff I'll play them there.

Plan is to wait at least 1 year after launch where I'll probably be able to get the console & 5 games for the same price.
I'm very lucky to be in a position where I can afford PS5 even if it comes out at £600. 2020 has been an absolute fucking dog, and I feel like the world, and my life is bleak and meaningless...... So fuck it, gimme dat PS5 no matter what. It's a stupid thing to be the one light at the end of the tunnel this year, but then, I'm a stupid person. Can't wait to get my hands on a new machine.
Oh, plus I have a 7 year old son, so this is his first generational leap, so I'm looking forward to sharing that with him.

Predicting a price of $550 or over.
I already have a PC at the estimated PS5 specs (outside of the SSD/3D audio chips/etc.) so I'm not really chomping at the bit for next-gen. Exclusives can suck it.
That being said, if I can sell the Xbox One X for a fair price...

I'm pretty fucking sure it's going to be $499 USD, but I'll be happy to be proven wrong if it's cheaper. Just like with the PS4, I'll be in no rush to buy it UNLESS they show me an extraordinarily strong launch window lineup. I think this conference will be amazing, I imagine it will be a lot like e3 2015/16, where it'll be a loooong term road map. I'll be there when the games I want are there.
Upto £600 and it'll be a day one purchase for me, any more than that then it'll be down to Microsoft whether or not the XSX will be my main console for next gen.
$500 isn't a problem for me, luckily. But launch games will determine whether I get it on launch or not.
It depends on what titles they have available at launch.
If it's $500 without any games I'm interested in I might wait for a bit.

Agreed. Today is showing some big named games and visuals to build hype is my guess. I'm not expecting much else right now.
I also don't care how much it is, i'll be getting one regardless
Library and features matter a lot more to me than price. If they had full PS1 and 2 backwards compatibility I'd be there day one, with just PS4 bc I have basically no interest in the console unless they pull out a ton of interesting exclusives. (Which based on this gen I doubt)
Extremely doubtful, we see price today, but I think 500 as well, which would be unfortunate in my case.

$499 isnt high... but will be far higher when the bastards through the supply chain want to make money before it's imported to me.
$499 US
is like
$699 here.

Unless it's a price that would be unfeasible for Microsoft to undercut, they ain't gonna announce it. There's literally no reason. The anticipation will only rise by not doing it.
I'm not sure. I've never bought, and kept, a $500 or greater console. I bought a launch PS3, but I flipped it. The most I've spent on a console, that I've kept, was $400 (360 and PS4). I guess it depends on how excited I get about the system. I was blown away by the PS4 and pre-ordered as soon as I could. But some of that is related to the $400 price tag.
A console would really have to blow me away to ignore a $500 price tag.
