why dont they just give it to Amazon, FK and other retailers like a normal company? This is like Himesh Reshamiya on Indian Idol - laddu to de raha hai khane ko, but karele ka. 

Quite sure it must be because of very low allocation of units .

So, it looks like most of the websites that got stock at launch, are also advertising pre-orders for 17th. I hope Amazon and Flipkart are also a part of this.

which all retailers have said that they are taking pre-orders?

 

 I have seen ppgc, gamestheshop and shopatsc. Any others?

Amazon is best bet for credit card offers and everything, haven't advertised yet but they should definitely have it

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

I am extremely tempted to try to get the PS5 during this drop because YOLO, the global shortage etc

 

but if I try to justify buying it logically, I can’t. Ideally, I should wait 1-2 years as I have already bought XSX 

 

 I would love to play Ratchet and clank rift apart, demons souls, sm mm but they are not system sellers for me 

 

Release of Horizon 2 and next God of War seem like the best time to get the PS5 - could they possibly drop during the next 12 months?

 

Horizon 2 for sure. God of War most likely (I would say 80%)

Tempted to try but can't justify it over XSX this year, hmm :(

 

If someone looking to justify value, moneys worth this isn't the time to buy.. not until 2022 ideally..

 

If you want to buy because YOLO and want to enjoy best of both worlds BUY...

Ya will wait till '22, FP games like R&C, Demon's Soul, etc. will also hopefully get under 2.5k by then, 5k a pop is too rich for my blood to justify on single games right now. Maybe get XSX and GP, hook it up to tv in living room, and maybe bro n dad will also give it a go, although they are not into games except on mobiles.

Anyone, please share a new ray of light/words of wisdom which will solve this dilemma

Demons souls already going for 3k, lol. 

 

It's expected and if you search, you will also find it for much lower. It's been more than 6 months now. Launch price is only for launch months. Control FOMO and wait a couple of months, and the $70 price tag is a non-issue. It's also why purchasing the console is not a problem, in a couple of months, all games go in bargain bin and you can get it for cheap. There's literally no need to wait for years.

 

Finding a console though - now that is something that is actually a challenge. If anyone gets it, then buy and keep it. There's no telling what the World will be like 2 years from now. Whether we will be in full on normalcy, whether Covid causes extended shortages and completely forces silicon chip production to a very bare minimum - we don't know. Pressing an empty Blu Ray or releasing a digital code is not a problem - Manufacturing a machine is.

This is used game price though, the actual MRP physical and digital is still same for all Sony launch games. Not a single sale yet.

Sorry for my ignorance, just wanted to know if there are more than 10 games on GP that are otherwise being sold for 5k? 5 games maybe?

I knew about RE8 for which Sony is making ponies pay full price for and then gave that money to Capcom to keep it away from GP....thats a bummer.

Doesn't make a difference, does it? Unless you have a Digital Only console - used and new are the same. Especially in Blu Ray days, where scratches do not matter, there is no manual or extras to speak of and there is no download/DLC code.

 

None of these games are ever going to be a "Rare Commodity" like the old unsealed games were. Might as well get it. Also why I preferred the Physical console. 10k savings (i.e. 2 full price games) is what Sony is giving you to be stuck to only their own store exclusively forever. And if people think Account Sharing will make it cheap - if Sony IP Bans, you are stuck with a big paper-weight which can run literally nothing.

 

To add to that, you also give up the ability to play Blu Ray movies (especially 4k Blu Rays) on your console as well (which are awesome BTW - especially with the Pulse headsets).

 

Stand alone 4k Blu Ray Players themselves are very expensive. I think the good ones start at 20k-30k. Digital Consoles is literally the best scam Sony and MS have started. Win-win for them, all for the cost of 2 games.

This is proven to be false. All companies have such contracts, even MS does.

 

@0verlord I say buy. IIRC you already have PS+ without a PS console.

People are playing PS5 games for 300-500  :rofl:

A very small percentage of people actually spend the full price (mostly those who go the digital route). 

 

Otherwise,  this 5k price tag is not a hurdle.
