If Sony follows MS price point with its digital only PS5 I might buy my first PlayStation since the PSX.

They're not the same type of console. The S is entry level, the digital PS5 is closer to Series X. How likely do you think it is Sony would be willing to take that large a hit? They won't even compete with Game Pass xD I'm sorry but it's beyond wishful thinking.
Deliver a version that is less than half as powerful as their flagship model?
Series S isn't cheap because it's digital, and sony has already committed to a single hardware profile aside from the disc drive.
Is there like some propaganda out there equating the digital PS5 to the Series S in terms of power? What has people thinking a more powerful machine will launch for the same price?
The PS5 DE is a PS5 without a disk drive, the lowest it would possibly go is $399. Which would also be insane value.
When you list it all out like that, all that extra performance tech easily exceeds $100 difference.
It really would lol, people expecting anything substantially under $400 are blowing my mind. $399 is best case scenario, $449 is most realistic.
There are people seriously thinking the disc-based PS5 will be $400 too
I don't get people. The DE is not going to be $300. The PS5 DE and Series S are not even comparable products beyond "They're one of two next gen skus for their respective companies."

IGN has a video out there claiming Series S could be faster than PS5
They're not the same product. Ps5 digital is exactly the same as the other model, it just lacks the disc drive. I don't get it
Series S is a repackaged last-gen console? Can you elaborate on this?
The PS5 DE is not gonna be $300. Remember it has all of the PS5 specs, just minus an optical drive.
I do think they take a loss on it and go down to $399, and it's well worth that extra $100 over the Series S.

im glad they didnt. way better the way they did one architecture to get highly optimized games. also looking at what DF said MS's idea really was because it was easier to utilize the 7nm to have it smaller than trying to do a slim Xbox one X. which makes total sense.
Yeah. Sony aren't doing a half next gen digital console like with the Series S so $299 just ain't happening. $399 for the PS5 digital would be insane value though, much better value for money than either of Xbox's offerings.
PS5 Digital version will at best cost $400, and even that is doubtfull. It is still a full 4K-ready console, just without a BD drive.
Still, since you have missed all of the PS4 exclusives, you will have great library of games when you finally get some version of PS5. Just wait for the pricedrop down the line.
