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.

Sony can pound sand. Don't condition these companies to think that they will get a lot of sales every time they threaten to raise prices.

Price increase is wild. Nobody will buy it.
McDonald's went up, Kentucky fried chicken when up, gas went up, groceries went up, cars prices went up, yet your still buying.

Quote from DogAndPony :
agreed, terrible deal. If costs have risen Sony should have eaten the costs. Probably would work out because they nickel and dime you on subscription costs. But now people won't buy it so they lose out on those subscription fees and on the cut they take on video games. just a dumb decision all around
The only problem with that is it doesn't fit the narrative of:

Company Spokesman to the public "These are rough times. We've had to make hard decisions to raise prices and lay off staff"

Company Spokesman to investors "We are happy to announce that we have once again made record profits for the 10th consecutive year"

Glad I stocked up on hard drives and PS5s a couple years ago. If everything truly goes digital going forward this may be my last console purchase. Have a PS5 pro, PS5 slim, 30th anniversary PS5, and a 2TB 990 pro and 4tb 990 pro as spare nvmes for a rainy day.

PC players can't get ram or hard drives thanks to AI. Xbox has been raising all of their prices for awhile. Sony too!? Right now sucks to be a gamer.
Remember when everyone hated the crypto miners? AI said "hold my beer".

They have another damn price increase, even after the Tariffs got voided... Now it's just corporate profit daring gamers not to blink

Thought about buying one when they announced they were cancelling the PC games. I would really like to play Wolverine. but now with the price increases I'm think I'm just going to chill. I'll get to Wolverine eventually.
