The real deals here are the PlayStation Fortnite bundles which are $100 less than other pricing and $200 less than they'll be on the 2nd. Wanted to make the thread so anyone on the fence about purchasing had time to before the price increases next week.

This will kill the industry. No one will be able to afford these prices to game.

$900 for a PS5 Pro...good grief. I got one from a buddy's shop that was traded in for ridiculously cheap but this thing ain't worth $900. It's not worth $600 at this point honestly. I suppose people have had nearly 6 years to get one if they wanted one though.

If you haven't gotten a ps5 by now you didn't want one in the first place
I hadn't wanted one until recently for reasons I won't argue about on SD. I thought they were overprice already for old tech and struggled to pull the trigger. I'll stick to PC at this point and play Ghost of Yotei on PC or a used PS5 after the PS6 comes out.

It's been 5 years and 4 months since the PS5 released at $499, little to no exclusive titles, remakes and remasters fill the log and they have the guts to raise the price on the identical unit $150 nearly 6 years later? fark Sony, PS5 has been the worst generation for games, period.

People would've had one already if they wanted one. They're not going to sell. I say this as someone who's owned every generation of them.
I don't have one and I wanted one recently solely because of Ghost of Yotei. But I don't want one now.
