So December 2020 then.

Time to start saving.

I hope, it gives me enough time to save, now for local pricing ($ x 2 = ZAR Pricing)

Awesome! I'm banking on R10K+ for the PS5 Pro.

A bit optimistic I think. I'd say 12k at a minimum. Hoping your ballpark is more accurate though

I would think you're looking at around R12 - R15k for the launch PS5... it will scale back to around R10k over the course of the year.

You always need that BMW... its whether you can afford to drive it is a different story though.

The standard PS5 or PS5 Pro?

The standard PS5 or PS5 Pro?

There won't be a Pro at launch

 

[ToxicBunny]

The standard PS5 or PS5 Pro?

The Pro is merely an evolution stopgap measure between the PS4 and the PS5.

 

[RazedInBlack]

I've heard that they could launch one along side the standard console.

 

[Monkeyz]

im gonna wait for a special edition
i wish i got the God of War ps4....

I've heard that they could launch one along side the standard console.

Where did you hear this? I very much doubt it, seeing as it should be far more profitable to launch a Pro version a year or two after original launch of PS5.

 

[ToxicBunny]

I've heard that they could launch one along side the standard console.

The most that would happen is similar to something that MS have hinted at is a disc based version and an online only version. The hardware playing the games will be identical.

If they get the hardware capabilities right this time around, then I wouldn't expect to see a Pro version this time around (though given the architectures of these generations, its a fair chunk easier to beef them up mid generation without impacting backwards compatibility)

The actual console better not look anything like that hideous (apparent) dev kit though

I would think you're looking at around R12 - R15k for the launch PS5... it will scale back to around R10k over the course of the year.

It will be a complete sales failure if it breaches R9,999.

R15k would simply be ridiculous.
