2 cheap dont let the poors get this

 

[Unknown?]

MS was caught with their pants down, since the PS5 DE will probably also be discounted both SKUs are looking like a much better value than the Series.

So now to compete they’ll probably have to drops thier… when the XSX was just bumped and the 1TB XSS didn’t even launch yet

It's okay, the FTC will put any future acquisitions on the fast lane and even pay for half so that they can compete properly!.

Sony is buying Microsoft confirmed.

 

[adamsapple]

Is this P x S ?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Wouldn't be a "positive news" Gaf sales or sale thread without some spinning it into a negative. Somehow, some way.

We already have a thread about this here:

PS5 Slim incoming

 

[John Marston]

I was overstimulated & intimidated by the title alone

 

[Hudo]

Worthless without a new Motorstorm.

 

[RickMasters]

Price drop clearing stock

making way for PS5 slim, perhaps?

 

[lestar]

To think that some paid 1000€ in 2021
I was lucky to get one for normal price

to play ps4 games

 

[Bernoulli]

to play ps4 games

Even if it was only for that it was worth it, going back to the ps4 slow hdd is awful

Doing a price drop as xbox is increasing theirs.

€450 for a PS5 vs €550 for Xbox SX is PS4 vs XB1 pricing all over again.

I look forward to DarkMage619 shitting on MS for being anticonsumer in comparison.

That game with today's hardware

 

[TrebleShot]

IF its 100 drop so PS5 goes from 450 - 350 the value proposition is quite insane considering most games have a 60fps mode.

 

[German Hops]

It's happening. Sony is making way for the Pro model.

 

[Barlow]

 

[Walter Matthau]

Have to hand it to Sony, it's a really smart move at the most opportune time.

There is no "sale" emoji but he could have just put a coin or note emoji.

Fuck having to decipher emoji stories.

PS6 Xmas 2023 confirmed.

That article in the tweet says $50 for the US at least.

It is a 100 drop for the disc version
I didn't check the digital in stores

Slim incoming.

 

[StereoVsn]

Wait, there is a sale in US as well? Hmm... wouldn't mind 2nd console for kids, but might as well wait for Slim.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

300USD for that PS5 would be an outstanding deal.

No point to wait if the slim is at 550 and doesn't have any hardware upgrades

What i do hate on mine is the coil whine that increases with 120fps games

 

[RoadHazard]

In Sweden it's around 7000 SEK, which is about 600€. That's a lot more than I bought mine for at launch (6000 SEK). So no sale here I guess.

Fucking Nordisk Film.

I really find the disk spin up annoying. Thing sounds like jet taking off. Was hoping that would be reduced with the slim.

But yeah, at $100 off, might spring for it, or even just get DE if that runs for $350 with $50 off. If that happens. Kids will mostly play digital and older games anyways.

The disc doesn't spin all the time but it is annoying
Sadly it's like that with all console
I think the most silent for me was the ps3 slim

XSX is a lot quieter overall and it doesn't do that stupid disk check every 20 min or what not. PS5 tries to spin up a disk even if you are playing a diff games or streaming content sometimes.

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Can't believe the price and the deals floating about.

 

[Melon Husk]

When Switch came out Sony dropped PS4 slim briefly to two hundos. When Switch 2 comes out we might see an even bigger sale.

 

[AJUMP23]

Stock reduction before introducing an upgrade.

Yeah, my jaw drops every time I see the prices and some of the deals you can get in other countries. Our prices in Sweden are insane.

That's a joke. Regional price discrepancies like this has always bothered me.

The US always seems to get a bargain with most tech goods, phones, laptops, TVs, consoles. Europe then gets shafted.

I was flipping these during COVID for 900 a pop and I do not care

Holy shit Stereo, bought Nier Replicant the other day (my 1st game disc this gen) and the noise from the drive was driving me insane, didn't know that the PS5 does a disc check every 20mins, that's why I kept hearing it then even when playing digital games.

It's friggin maddening really.

Welp, the next game I was going to get physical was Armored core 6 - digital it is then...

I mean if I turn the sound up it's not as audible , but I am really hoping that Slim or Pro do away with that. Not sure why Sony has it that loud or if there is a "disk drive lottery" as some people report things being quiet.

Mine is quiet as all fucks...except with The Callisto Protocol. Those disc were of poor quality and I guess the spinning made the disc bend and vibrate...I thought it would break inside...

Butbutbut...

My Xbox Series X is dead silent, because...

Game PasShhh

Quietest deal in Gaming

 

[Insane Metal]

Slim incoming.
