Knowing how fickle some people are, Sony need to announce a price of €498 and release 2 random performance figures that'll make zero visible difference that are higher and they'll stroll it.

Tbh once it dosnt sound like a passenger airline taking off and can download files where I don't have to put it into rest mode for half a day to get it done I'll be happy.

That being said, the xbox news is intriguing and might look more into it, your move Sony

This will be my first time buying at launch. Do Dony do pre orders here direct like they do in the states? Is Smyths Amazon etc our only option

Their Irish site is terrible, even if they do offer pre-orders, you would be far better off with Smyths or Amazon.

No, Sony don't do direct sales in Ireland. They do in the UK if that's an option for you.

So, announcement today or nah?

I don't think they'll announce so close to the Xbox announcement, as otherwise it seems like they're doing it directly in response to same (which let's face it, that's the exact reason they were holding off on announcing it all so far). They'll wait another week or so imo.

Yea, next week has to be it. I just hope they announce pre-orders straight away

PlayStation global head of marketing Ed Lempel told Geoff Keighley a few weeks ago that they will let us know when preorders go live and that it wont happen within minutes notice. So probably like with Series S and X pre-orders not going live until another week or two

Sony's got new PS4 and PS4 pro Fifa 21 bundles out on October 9th.

Probably got stock to clear but still weird having new bundles, especially for the pro.

I'm guessing they'll announce release date and pricing early next week, with pre-orders to go live the following week. They can't really wait much longer.

I have been saying this for almost 3 months.

Apparently they can

I just mean now that XBox have finally made their move! They've announced their pre-orders for September 22nd, so at the very least Sony will surely make their announcement before then. I'm guessing next week though.

Yea I agree, but I have given up trying to predict what they may or may not do. They are off the map at this point.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if they held off till the start of November and pulled a Saturn with an instant launch.

Also Sony will more than likely do a staggered launch, they always have before.

Week 1, NA
Week 3, EU and other PAL
Week 15, JP

That could push the Irish launch into December, depending on the American one.

The PS4 Pro did release worldwide at the same time, but that was a mid cycle revision and they usually do!

If the PS5 is a global launch day, I'll be pretty surprised.

Popple3

I think Sony really only has the choice of announcing pricing and release date today/tomorrow, or waiting until Thursday next week. Apple will take over tech news for a few days with their event on Tuesday, and Sony will probably want at least a couple days to themselves without the shadow of another event.

I am fairly certain they have said it will be a global launch, but then you could interpret that in a number of ways if you wanted to. Hopefully we don't have to wait 2 weeks more like last time.

They need to release before Black Friday in the US and need to hit Europe in November as well. They won't want to release late December in Japan either as they will miss a gift giving holiday there. They will need to release in and around November.

recyclops

it would be crazy to wait until after the 22nd thats the real key date now for Sony.

Unless of course they know they cant get to 499 which would nearly make announcing prior to the 22nd silly for people who are not stuck to the brand.

Getting out before black friday at any price will be their main goal. missing that date in the states will give microsoft an early lead (if a minor one in the grand scheme of things).

November 20th launch. There was an amazon japan leak

Amazon UK have Assassin's Creed Valhalla for release on the 10th of November.

That’s the general release date for the game, no guarantee the console will be out before that.

I could be wrong, but I think there could be precedent for a game launching before a console simply because it was cross-platform anyway?

I think that was to meet the Xbox console launch. Would we get both on the 10th? Would be interesting

[Deleted User]

Definitely can't see them releasing on the same day. Weren't the xbox one and ps4 releases months apart? So this situation is pretty unusual.

HairySalmon

I’d love if it was out the 6th of November

No, they were just a week or two apart. Both November 2013. Xbox launched first, then PS4, so likely to be the same here.

Markitron

If it is a proper global launch, it is either gonna be the 13th or the 20th IMO, I would lean towards the former.

Ah cool, I was assuming they were similar to ps3 and 360 release. But that was probably because of Sony grabbing production issues and such at the time.
