PS5 Pro announced

Sony Group Corp. priced a faster version of the PlayStation 5 well above its rival Xbox at $699 (R12,530), suggesting the entertainment giant sees a loyal audience willing to pay a premium for top performance.

The Japanese company unveiled the surprisingly high price tag when it announced the start of sales on 7 November, which will come just weeks after the latest version of Microsoft Corp.’s competing console hits store shelves.

Yeah, no thanks. I'll just buy the PS5 for £380.

South African distributors licking their chops at the amount of markup they will be putting on this thing.

Back in the day I upgraded my PS4 to a PS4 Pro and ... couldn't really see a difference. I watched a few videos with blind tests and most kinda felt the same. Unsure if more games offered more difference?

Either way - it was a fairly small change for a relativly large extra outlay

I'm an early adopter, so I will definitely put my preorder in on the 26th.

Gimme the pricing. I need to know if its R17999, R19999, R20999 or even more.

This coming from someone who doesn't know how to use the gallery on an iPhone, I wouldn't take your input with any seriousness.

I know how to us the gallery on an iPhone?

I probably know more about the iPhone than you And most important - I have my own opinions and don't rely on someone tells me. Not that it's your fault ... weaker minded are a bit easier to manipulate with marketing

PS You're going to have to try much harder to insult ...

Playstation fans are pissed of by this but Sony has a healthy profit margin as long as they get enough buyers.

Sadly, out of my affordability range.

I just bought a PS5 digital Slim. Coming from a PS4 Pro.

Ah well.

I might get it if the trade in on the OG is good

On one hand I want to say he isn't wrong, but at the same time considering the size of the iPhone and everything else it does that should be an indicator that any PS5 is way too expensive.

I don't agree with the price, but he's not wrong. I get far more value out of a console than the latest <whatever> phone...

 

[Vuilhaas]

Does anyone have any idea when the official price will be set in SA?
