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.

On the Sony Playsation Site, you may or may not get through the checkout process.
Same goes for GameStop.

Go to the Playstation site and see if they have the games you like and the prices.
Also if you want to play online theres a mothnly fee with the higher tiers giving you access to a good selection of games.

I think most of all this about the upcoming Rockstar press releases related to their Stock and the release of GTA 6 in November. It will be biggest and best game release ever and you wont be able to play it on the PC till months or a year later.

You will need a Ps5, Ps5 Pro, Xbox Series s or x. The standard PS5 is the best price/performance of the pack.-...for now.

A couple of times already. Storage and memory prices have gone up due to AI. Maybe we can ask AI how to lower memory prices so it can tell itself to go away.

But Sony said they had prepurchaed enough memory for a long run of the current Gen. Like I mentioned earlier, this is all about GTA6 this time around and its about supply and demand.

Eggs however is $1.99 18ct right now. Priorities!

If you haven't gotten a ps5 by now you didn't want one in the first place
Funny I just bought one last month. First console in like 15 years for me. Last one was one of those Xbox ones that used to get the red ring. I'm a PC gamer but my wife wanted a PS5 to play on the living room TV so I got a disc edition from eBay for $350. Honestly way cheaper than building an equivalent PC these days. Even with this price increase. We've been happy with ours

Those AI DCs are eating up all of the SSD stock out there.
And the memory chips, for hdd's and ram, they are also buying up tons of processors. AI is the reason for 90% or more of the price surge, not tariffs.

Wonder if I can sell my original PS5 disc for a higher price now. I'm mostly a PC player anyway and this thing has just been collecting dust the past couple years.

My ps4 trade in to bestbuy for ps5 pro is looking real nice right now

Everything will have a hike like this soon due to tariffs , war impacting oil prices, and precious metals sourcing for electronic parts , competing with ai on ram cpu power... all at once is not a good look
