    has there ever been a time where the price went up for a console this late into a life-cycle? it usually goes down at this point

    this and the dynamic digital pricing are exactly why I'm not rushing to put more money in Sony's pockets

    I bought a PS5 in December because of that PayPal cash back and haven't bought a single game for it yet 😂

    My brother in Christ, they were selling the PS5 for $300 on Black Friday last year. They were the only platform holder doing hardware sales during Christmas. Your presidency is a nazi regime increasing tariffs and helping an apartheid country bomb Iran and AI companies are rushing useless top down AI (if you can even call it that) driving up gpu and ram cost. Why didn't you buy it then instead of grand standing now?

    Where at?

  • Red Bandana

    Where at?

    Amazon, it was like 590 something after tax and shipping, then the disk drive was like 20 used as well. It looks brand new, runs well and I’m beyond thrilled I copped when I did

    I bought the PS5 at launch so why would I care about a Black Friday deal? and I don't care for you using Trump's bullshit as a dig at me as if I support any of that. I replied to a post about console prices going down over time and added that their new dynamic pricing also left a bad taste in my mouth. Everyone already know AI and tariffs caused this but get your easy likes

    like this whole thread is about calling people broke for not getting the PS5 Pro but as soon as I say "nah I'm good" as the price gets even higher, I'm apparently MAGA and deaf, dumb and blind to all AI news these past 5 years

    man, why would a single living person pay $900 for a game console

    Other than being an adult with real life priorities not leaving much time for gaming, this is the main reason why I think PS5 will be the last console I buy. If it's this expensive now, (+/- 20 racks in my currency) imagine how expensive future consoles will be

    1000$ with a disc drive and still paying to play online

    Yeah, all these corporations are f***ed in the head. I've loved gaming my whole life but at this point, I'm just not willing to pay what they're asking

    Dynamic digital pricing a very valid concern . Xbox , switch 2 and ps5 prices being beholden to tariffs and ai is something many of us told you was coming when Xbox raised prices m, even before that . When Xbox raised prices people said “ Microsoft so greedy and their console s*** “ now when Sony raises prices it’s “ you should have bought one “ when the truth is in between. There is only so much loss they can take per console to build an install base . Ps plus will raise next when playing online should be free . If Xbox doesn’t make playing online free with helix and future they fools
