Sony raises PlayStation 5 prices almost everywhere

25 August 2022
The United States is the sole exception. Prices go up by around 10% across the rest of the world.

Luckily I got mine about 3 Mo ago with official price from JD. XBOX price may eventually increased somehow followiing the trend, I presume.

    I am not against Xbox. in fact I waited long for a PS5 and now thinking about getting a Xbox series X.

      sq2013, 25 Aug 2022That's not the point. It's shameless profiteering... moreYou got it bro. There's no incentive for Sony or oil companies to SPEND millions increasing supply output when they can make abnormal profit by restricting supply. Thus saving money at the same time.

You didn't say 1.5-2x the MSRP. Not even scalper prices are as much as you stated and you don't have to buy from the scalpers.

              Anonym, 28 Aug 2022So you'll get a PC better than a PS5 at 250€ to 300€ (... moreDo u not understand the meaning of 1.5-2x? It means that they're 50-100% more expensive than their RRP. ($748.5-$999) plus 5 games that each costs 30-50 bucks so u'll spend at least. Sure PS5 performs better but can u pirate the games as easy as PC?

Nice joke! No way in hell you'll achieve that with new parts, unless you'll rob computer stores.

                  Sony should focus on giving casual gamers a cheaper version maybe based on PlayStation 3 specifications that kids can enjoy

Not to mention the games on PS5 are more expensive than PC

                        Tigolebitties, 27 Aug 2022PC is better anywayNot when cost enters the equation. Good luck getting comparable performance within the tight PS5 budget.

                          in my country people left ps4 & ps5 because of the price, they're goin buy xbox one x, because its powerfull and cheap.

                            PC is better anyway

                              Sony is the worse of all. Microsoft and Nintendo didn't raised their prices. Maybe they are living on another planet, lol.
                              Sony saw that people want their console so much, so they thought why not make some extra profit out of it. Pathetic.
                              I have a reservation for a PS5 digital edition. But after seeing this news, I will immediately cancel my reservation and delete my Sony account. Sony never again. Sony is as bad as Apple. Sadly, people buy them.
                              I will probably buy a Steam Deck.
