$349 by the time gta6 releases I bet

Don't need a pro before then anyway… everything has been old games except a few gems here and there.

The real test is DS2, Ghost and whatever else is hidden for next year… Wolverine? or Spider-Man spinoffs/DLC.

They probably "leaked" the price cut by accidentally uploading the wrong video.

The ad that is now offline was about 30 seconds long and may be posted on Dec. 3 since that date is "hidden" in the longer ad without the price cut, see @ 0:47

Yeah, they messed up. They have multiple versions of this new advert, and it looks like they scheduled one for their socials that should have gone live later—presumably for Black Friday, or as you mentioned on December 3, since that date appears in the video and also marks PlayStation's 30th anniversary.

The PlayStation (abbreviated as PS, commonly known as the PS1/PS one or its codename PSX) is a home video game console developed and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was released in Japan on 3 December 1994, in North America on 9 September 1995, in Europe on 29 September 1995, and in Australia on 15 November 1995

I'm actually hoping that the December 3 tease in the advert is about State of Play and not just this PS5 Slim holiday promo.

True, a limited price drop for the digital base model would definitely be a bit underwhelming for a 30th anniversary.

On the other hand, it's 2024 Sony we're talking about - at this point, I wouldn't put anything past them.

Same, I need to see some groundbreaking shit again, Bluepoint, Naughty Dog, where are your games!

And unlike PC most of the games aren't made by a kid in his bedroom.

You forgot to mention stutter. If you are going to become a meme poster you really have to commit.

 

[RoboFu]

Oh that sucks. I thought the ps5 was selling well.

 

[t_wilson01]

When is this price going into effect?

 

[BigLee74]

Oooh. Getting tempting - another £50 or so and I may bite despite its horrendous appearance.

 

[Bojji]

About 20% VAT is the problem in Europe, it's 10% here in Australia.

The times when Sony was losing money on Hardware are long gone.

Nope. It's Sony being greedy.

Vat was always the same and PS5 launched with 500$/500€ parity. Same with almost all other consoles before.

Only thing that changed in the meantime is how Sony treat customers.

 

[K' Dash]

The same price as the Series S right now?

what are you talking about, you can reliable find a Series S at $200 or less.

Even if the Series S was $300, who the fuck would buy that thing if the PS5 is better value at the same price?

 

[Roxkis_ii]

People can complain about the slight price drop, but consoles might not be this cheap for a long time.

 

[saintjules]

Oh that sucks. I thought the ps5 was selling well.

I'm sure it is. Keep in mind this is only for 6 weeks.

 

[Viking Warrior]

No thanks, I'll wait for a discounted PS5 slim disc edition, or I might just buy a refurbished model from Sony and be done with it.

PS5 disc drive incoming at $425 on 11/22/24.

PS5 disc drive incoming at $425 on 11/22/24.

Yeah I might just bite. I need one before mh wilds releases end of February. Wish it would have been a 100 dollar/euro discount though.
