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.

Quote from Quality-Learing :
If you haven't gotten a ps5 by now you didn't want one in the first place
I agree with this comment. I'll speak for myself but I suspect I'm not alone. If I want something bad enough, I'll pay msrp and buy it at launch. If I decide to wait, I've got this in the back of my mind and if I see a good deal down the road, I'll pull the trigger. If I get tired of waiting and prices aren't dropping, I might pull the trigger at msrp. If my desire for it wanes, I might not buy it at all even if the price drops. PS5 has been out over 5 years. Most of the people complaining about the price increase are people who were hoping for a steal, couldn't afford it in the first place, or are just threadcrappers. The grandmas and new gamer examples some are citing are the minority if they are even real. Even if little Johnny asked Grangma for a PS5, unless she was wealthy, she'd probably tell him $550 is too much for a toy. Now is not a good time to buy anything with RAM. BTW, this response has been written by AI.

Once people stop buying at these ridiculous price points, they will have no choice but to reduce the prices due to lack of sales. But when people keep buying at these ridiculous price points, these companies start to feel like we need them more than they need us and they will test the waters for their future products to be ridiculously priced. But unfortunately, people cannot help themselves and we all lose the popular sovereignty battle when too many people compulsively buy no matter the cost.

$900 for a console? What is Sony Smoking?

You can get a prebuilt PC for this price that will outperform the PS5 Pro by a large margin in every way and be useful for other things too.

At least when you buy a console, you know you are good for 5-8 years.

Quote from joeybuffet :
These gaming companies have lost their minds. They way it works is as your systems get older you DROP The Price! So more people are attracted to buy and casual customers gain entry to the business
Have you checked the news lately? Have you been to the grocery store? The price of everything from food to houses to gas has gone through the roof. I swear gamers live in a vacuum.. pay attention to your surroundings and the world.
