Would you pay $600 for next-gen at launch?
- Thread starter Jawmuncher
- Start date
I was all in at any cost until we started seeing the games. Content is king and I don't see a whole lot of compelling "next gen" content to warrant the high price tag. Still waiting to see something with a "next gen feel" to it. Ratchet & Clank, Horizon Forbidden West and Kena all look like solid titles but still aren't really blowing me away and nothing shown on the XSX has impressed me in the slightest. $500 might be my limit and even that is pushing it with the lack of next gen content.
I really don't want to, but I'd pretty much pay anything to get it at launch, because I hate myself.
Despite having the money to get both if they were $600, none of the games have sold me on that kind of price. So if it is indeed $600, it's a hard pass from me
Lol spending 600 beans for a console in this economy, nope not happening.
the question isn't whether I can afford it, I'd feel terrible knowing I'm blowing 600 bucks on my favorite hobby while others have lost their jobs and or struggling to pay rents and utilities.
even if the economy was well, I can't justify spending so much on a console. With games and other accessories you're going to be dropping 1k.

I just said I had no interest... but if they announce the Demon Souls remake at launch then I'd start considering it too.
That's what I budgeted for when I saw the specs on these things. If it comes in cheaper, the spillover will go towards accessories like storage. If it's much cheaper like some people here seem to think, it'll go towards games I guess.
600 usd for a console is way too much money when you know they're gonna make a "pro" version 3 years after launch. It's even worse if you buy that "pro" version afterwards. You're getting close to PC money territory.
$600 is my absolute ceiling for the high-end versions of either of these systems, and I also think that if they have to be priced that high (even if they're the same across both PS5 and Series X) it's going to negatively effect the dynamics of this whole coming generation.
I wouldn't have considered either at even $500 at any previous point in my life.

I survived the PS3 at $599 as a teenager. I could survive PS5 at $599. I wouldn't like it, but I'd buy it.
I feel like that can be said of all of us jumping in on launch day.
Thats would be $900 cnd after tax. As hyped as i am for next gen i just can't see myself spending that much.
I'd do it if they actually made the consoles worth buying at launch but the exclusive lineups look damn near nonexistent. I don't have to pay any bills and I'm about to start a job that pays over 75k so I don't care about the cost, but they could release these consoles for 100$ and I wouldn't buy them if they didn't release software that I care about and can't get anywhere else.
Mentally prepared for $600, cautiously hoping for $500, but already have the money saved up for either eventuality.
If I didn't own a one X, I absolutely would just to move the hell on from this gen and play this falls big games in 4k or a performance mode.
Luckily I don't think it will come to 600

Yeah, that thing exists more than likely so they can say they have a $499 model. With the tech in both of these, they're going to be expensive.
This amuses me because its so true, neither of these consoles will be less than 600 here after tax.
"a couple of games and an extra controller"?
an extra Dual Sense will easily cost 80 bucks alone, a couple of games, lets say 3 games cost 180bucks, do you honestly think the console will cost less than 400? not happening
Nope, even $500 for me is pretty pushing it for me based on launch day games I know about so far. Where I'm more likely not getting either one at launch and will wait for more of the games I'm interested in to release.
Not getting a system for just one exclusive game at launch

Depends on launch window games. Xbox is already a no at any price until Halo comes out, that thing has no games. Spider-Man wouldn't be enough to justify $600 for PS5 for me, there needs to be more.
