MrBiron 1,418 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 PS5 price to increase in select markets due to global economic environment, including high inflation rates BLOG.PLAYSTATION.COM New recommended retail price coming to select markets in the EMEA, APAC, and LATAM regions, plus Canada. Because, well, Sony gonna be Sony. PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – £479.99 PS5 Digital Edition – £389.99 They're already in short supply and Sony think this is a good move.

J4MES OX4D 9,910 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 They have people by the balls so why not. It’s insane how many people are desperately trying to get one when there’s really nothing worth buying for it. May as well milk your own customers for as much as possible in this case.

I've said quite a few times recently that Sony are just fuckers for taking the piss. They increased the prices of games, increased the price of ps+ and now this. People just seem to defend them.

The whole system is rotten mate, this country and most of the planet is on its arse, with all sorts of shit on the horizon and I don't see anything getting better.

Happy thoughts😅 Sadly the planet is only heading one way. I tend to shy away from the conversations as they are incredibly depressing. I have taken steps to make my potential future better i.e. we have an AC unit in the house to keep one room cool where we can hide if need's be, I have an allotment for veg (and next year will also be using half our garden), have put in a water butt recently for watering and with the allotment I'm also learning skills where it comes to growing our own food just in case things really go to shit in the coming few years. Food will be much more expensive next year because of the drought, there will be less of it and it won't be all the pristine / uniform veg we see in the shops today. Sony's price rise isn't really shocking when you consider the value of the other currencies against the US dollar, almost everywhere linked to Europe and the UK has seen a fall but I do get people's frustrations with Sony, how come they are increasing prices whilst Nintendo and Microsoft do not feel the need to?

Big sticking point for me is that they've failed to meet demand for 18 months straight by a ridiculous margin and now stock is miraculously flowing, the price has gone up to they are really maximising income on people that have been waiting since almost day one. Quest 2 has gone up by £100 yet it's on devices that have been in retail circulation for over 12 months so the inflation excuse on already produced units does not wash and that's the card Sony are playing right now. Soon they will use the line 'it's gone up but at least it's not as expensive as what the scalpers have been charging'🤣 Luseth and IRaMPaGe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
