Price announcement on the 2nd of September and pre ordering starting on the 9th of September would be good.

Please god!!

Varik · 25-08-2020 10:51PM

Sony themselves did say pre-orders won't just go live one day without warning, so there'll be some heads up.

Markitron · 26-08-2020 08:23AM

They certainly can't be any later than that anyway, they really should have been up by now

More rumours on price and release date:

https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/08/ps5_price_and_release_date_rumour_is_making_headlines_in_japan

I am expecting the Digital Edition to be €400, Physical edition €100 more. I have seen that a couple of times.

xtal191 · 26-08-2020 09:32AM

Think the digital version will be around €500/€550 and physical will be close to €600

Also think the accessories are gonna be stupid money at the beginning, wouldn't be surprised if that dual sense controller is close to €80

Retr0gamer · 26-08-2020 09:36AM

It's all just speculation and anything you see online is just click bait from crap 'journalist' sites. Don't believe anything util the decent sites like Eurogamer, Polygon, kotaku etc. say anything and once they do they will all be reporting on it anyway.

Hven't been following the PS5 details but what's it looking like?

Are graphics much better? I'm at the stage thinking it must be nearly impossible to improve graphics much more.

The graphics will be better for the most part, but the biggest changes are more to do with quicker loading times and the advances in tech giving the developers more tools to work with. Plus Sony are pushing for a more immersive feel with haptic controller feedback and 3D audio.

Launching in Japan first makes me doubt this very much.

I also think the controller will be €80, which is inline with the Switch Pro controller, and the trend of rising cost of controllers.

CastorTroy · 26-08-2020 10:02AM

Gamescom is this week. Maybe they'll mention something. Though knowing them it'll be "And using the power button, you can turn it on...and off"

"That’s according to regular PlayStation tipster and commentator @IronManPS5 on Twitter, who doesn't exactly have the most reputable track record"

I mean there ye go, wouldn't believe that info at all. Fed up of these rumours from randomers who have no actual credentials.

Agreed. This stupid game of chicken Sony and MS are playing needs to end soon.

PS5 price/release date might be the biggest and easiest clickbait in the history of the industry

This guy is a total spoofer who has been wrong more times than right. Far more often wrong than right. Believe nothing he posts

Yeah the number of times I've seen those where the headline is long enough that it gets cut off before the "rumours" or "what we know so far"

Yea, it is at least building up a nice list of spoofy ***** that should be ignored at all costs.

EoinMcLovin · 26-08-2020 10:51PM

Just got this sent to my US PSN account, I'd say a date and price is incoming very soon

Zero-Cool · 26-08-2020 10:59PM

Interesting, preorder directly from PlayStation or links to sites like Amazon or Gamestop?

If selected, the expiration date and time will be included in your selection notification email and while supplies last.

Any orders that contain a non-US based address will be cancelled.

CastorTroy · 27-08-2020 01:39AM

Why would you order 2 cameras or 2 remotes when you can only get one console?
I'm sure the offers will go to the same people that get those discount codes

Atlas_IRL · 27-08-2020 08:37AM

Is there anything unique the Series X console does that the PS5 doesnt? They are using 3D audio, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers as USP's (not too sure what the last one does)

Bar gamepass of course

Judging by this it looks like very limited supply at launch.

I would get your pre pre order in with Smyths/GS as soon as possible if I were you

Xbox have 3D audio (or at least a dedicated audio chip) as well according to the most recent Series X video by Digital Foundry but Microsoft aren't pushing that.

Xbox also had something with the triggers in the current gen and it's in the new controller as well but I think it's just individual rumble motors in the triggers but developers never used it.

How Soon Is Now · 27-08-2020 09:31AM

Really annoying there leaving the price and pre orders till the last minute for many reasons but its really gonna push people into panic ordering in all kinds places.

I'll be so pissed off if I can't get a pre order for this ha.

Wonder will PlayStation do something similar for the European Market as they have with the American?

Either way as soon as we get a date I'll be down to Smyths!!

Yeah I'm in the same boat, if we can't register our interest with PlayStation Direct here the minute price and date are announced I'll be pre ordering with Smyths unless Gamestop have good trade in deal

I'm just gonna go with Smyths with Amazon as a backup (or for a friend). I might consider Gamestop for a trade-in but I want a new iPad so will likely drop my PS4 Pro into CEX.
