Price hikes go into effect August 21; standard PS5 will now start at $550.
I’ve been gaming since 1985 whenI was 2 years old.
I cannot for the life of me remember a situation where 5 years after a console releases, they RAISE the price. And its not even like “New PS5 pro edition + knuckles”.
This is just “It’s the PS5. Pay us more money, assholes! Same shit as before. Now with more cost! Kiss the taint, peasants!”
Nintendo did it and their fans still spent like crazy. Gamers have themselves to blame for this. Well that and the ever present corporate greed.
I’m sure they’re wiping the tears away with all that extra money.
So weird this occurred not long after it’s become clear Xbox is getting out of the hardware game.
Such a “difficult decision”! Strange that it enriches them and their shareholders…
It will never go back down once sales level out
So difficult
The solution to this is a healthy PC gaming market but the hardware prices there are much more inflated than console hardware costs.
You can barely even give them away, bruh
