phil bottle 9,757 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 So yeah, let's run a book on the final price of the new consoles. Let's all stake our guesses for each console on how much they will cost. UK Sterling or US Dollar ideally. Also, for Xbox just stick to the top one, as i hear there will be a less powerful one too. Winner will get a prize. So far: PS5 Phil - £499 Greboth - £499.95 BO7H B4RRELS - $549.99 Plumber's Crack - £549 Techno - £449 J4MES OX4D - £449.99 The3rdWalker - $549.99 slamminbones - £550.00 GazzaGarratt - £419 10. JBR-Kiwi - £474.99 Xbox Phil - £399 Greboth - £449.99 BO7H B4RRELS - $499.99 Plumber's Crack - £495 Techno - £429 J4MES OX4D - £429.99 The3rdWalker - $599.99 slamminbones - £539.99 GazzaGarratt - £409 10.

Greboth 2,721 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I think you’re bang on with the PS5 though I think the xbox will be £449. Or more accurately £449.95 or £449.99 as they’ve got to creep it under the whole pound. I think MS will want the market share back so will undercut Sony but equally MS have the more powerful console so I don’t think it will be that much cheaper. phil bottle 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/8047-next-gen-price-fg-sweepstake/#findComment-131484 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with Microsoft going full on with their game pass, and android connectivity too, with Sony going more for exclusives, the different approaches will be interesting. You reminded me that if someone says £500 for PS5 and it's £499.99, then that beats my guess of £499....

GazzaGarratt 11,049 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Ffs, @J4MES OX4D has already got my answers! I can't see the base version with no games being near 500 as it'll put too many off it. PS4 - £419 Xbox - £409 But we all know its the bundles that cos 779 that everyone will have to go for 🙈 J4MES OX4D and phil bottle 1 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/8047-next-gen-price-fg-sweepstake/#findComment-131511 Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil bottle 9,757 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Still no sign of any pricing but I do see a lot of 'experts' saying that the Xbox is going to be a lot better running 4k than the PS.

phil bottle 9,757 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Microsoft have finally revealed their pricing.

Going down the mobile phone route of subscription payments is very interesting. $499.99 with a $35 a month subscription will really tot up. That's nearly $1000 off the bat for a unit and one year sub bundle. Could get very expensive if you have other entertainment subscriptions as well as household bills. It's great if you intend to play plenty of games and have the time to do so but a lot of users will just want the console and games of their choice without being tied down. Having said that though, Sony will have to provide a far better subscription that the current PS+ or a vast improvement on that at the very least. phil bottle 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/8047-next-gen-price-fg-sweepstake/#findComment-132261 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have read this wrong but I believe the 35 a month fee subscription means you don't pay up front for the console, the price of the console is paid off monthly.

MrBiron 1,453 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I reckon the Series X will be £449 and the smaller Series S will be £249..... I also think that MS have caught Sony off guard with their pricing. Can't help thinking that the PS5 was going to be more expensive. So PS5 disc version £499 PS5 Digital version £399 phil bottle and GazzaGarratt 2 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/8047-next-gen-price-fg-sweepstake/#findComment-132326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
