Well, would you look at that! On the weekend, Sony has confirmed its second big PlayStation 5 event for Wednesday 16th September 2020. It all kicks off at 9pm BST / 1pm PDT / 10pm CEST, and will focus on PS5 games coming at launch and beyond. This also has to be the place we get the price and release date, right?
The PlayStation Blog post reads: "Before PlayStation 5 launches this holiday, we wanted to give you one more look at some of the great games coming to PS5 at launch (and beyond!). Our next digital showcase will weigh in at around 40 minutes, and feature updates on the latest titles from Worldwide Studios and our world-class development partners."

No mention of whether there'll be a price, though, so don't get your hopes up!
F*****ing finally!!
Dropping this news at 2PM on a Saturday. Sony just doesn't play by the rules.
My body is ready.
CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELEBRATE GOOD TIMES
COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time to board the hype train
About time, hopefully they announce a black model too
What’s a PlayStation 5?
I wonder if the speculation or leak about new GOW or other big games announcement is real.
I'm positive Sony will announce price and dates at the end. That's for sure.
Finaly!! Now I just have to figure out how to get home early enough 🤔
Really interested to see what else Sony has up their sleeves for launch titles.
Actually, now I wonder if details will begin to leak in the days leading up to this?
As much as I want to know price and pre-order availability (and a bit more about BC), from reading the text about this on the blog, it says to me that this is purely about the games, not the machine ... please (please, please!) let me be wrong!
@JJ2 Sauce?
I think a teaser for GOW2 is plausible.
@GKO900 I can’t see it. I think the white and blue is going to be their colours going forward. The same as the VR headset.
Please announce a 'boring' black version, please announce a 'boring' black version
🤞
There is mad rumours they’ve matched the Xbox on pricing so I’m pretty confident they’ll reveal price or counter it lower who knows! We just gotta be patient but dam I’m excited!
Looks like Microsoft caused them to change course
@Octane
I think you meant source but I like 'sauce's haha
Moore's law is dead has been talking of behind closed door GOW demo for a while and even unannounced launch games.
I'm always skeptical though.
Hoping for a price and official launch date so maybe pre-orders can open up soon.
Remember last time they said it was for games only, only for them to reveal the box itself.
WE'RE GETTING THAT PRICE BABYYY
@michaelf Pretty sure the last one didn’t specifically say machine either.
I'm ready for Miles Morales gameplay!
Absolutely zero chance of Sony under cutting MS for one simple reason they don't need/have to, the disc based ps5 will be £450...unless Sony have been slow to reveal the price because they have to launch at £550.
No reason not to tell us the price at this point. I'm curious how aggressive they'll be on that front compared to Microsoft.
Super hyped!! Can't wait for the event, I hope we get price 😁
Gotta be a price in there now MS have gone, still hoping its an E3 95 299 moment (wont be 299 I know but anything lower for the disc machine is big)
I’m pretty excited to see what they have in store. The price, release date, and preorder info will be nice, but I’m actually more hyped to see the games. I’m pretty sure I can guess the rough price and release date within a standard deviation. The games, I’m not so sure about.
@ShogunRok They really do everything in their own sweet time.
@JJ2 Yeah I'm expecting like a casual drop just as things are wrapping up. I wouldn't be surprised if they just left it hanging as text on the screen after the main show ends.
@Paranoimia they will surprise us about price, release date and pre-order date at final 5 minutes of showcase like they did with console design in June for ps5 showcase
HOW ABOUT YOU GIVE US THE DAMN PRICE YOU TURKEYS!?!!?!?!??
@MJF they will surprise us about price, release date and pre-order date at final 5 minutes of showcase like they did with console design in June for ps5 showcase
That ps4 is black. Are there two colours at launch?
I would have thought we will get the price, release date and preorder date.
Because preorders for Xbox start on the 22/09/2020.
@Dezzy70 they will surprise us about price, release date and pre-order date at final 5 minutes of showcase like they did with console design in June for ps5 showcase
N.i.c.e. thats what im talking about sony.demon souls will be a launch games.and hopefully sly cooper collection.and syphon filter will be anounced.word up son
@Marquez I’d forgotten that! So I’m increasing my excitement levels accordingly ! 😉😃
Digital Edition £369
PS5 £449
I'm excited to get disappointed again The announcement mentions it's going to be a games showcase only so I'm not getting my hopes up.
@Paranoimia - did MS give any word in advance of dropping price in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
@DonJorginho exactly!...why people seem to think Sony have to under cut ms is beyond me
@Deadlyblack - i'm fully expecting demon souls/spiderman/ bugsnax are at launch with ratchet within 3-4 months of launch. if this is accurate, i'm good and anything else is gravy.
@eddie429 in fairness theirs leaked much to the understandable annoyance of the people involved with series s
Can’t wait until they announce the price so everyone shuts the **** up about it. Who am I kidding, it’ll be something else....
@kyleforrester87 yea will be that £550 launch price...
@eddie429 no.. someone leaked price on xbox seres s before MS revealed it along xbox series x then they revealed pre-order date right away after
@vegeta11 -how? and how did MS "cause" anything - they only released info in the middle of the night when it was discovered leaks had already put that info out there.
Great! Looking forward to seeing what else Sony has cooking.
I am really more interested in a release date and a price. I mean, I still won't buy the system until after a 3 month minimum grace period, but knowing when the clock starts ticking for me will be nice.
@BearsEatBeets and demon souls! i can't wait to see both in action!
I just want to get my pre-order in and know I have one before the Out of Stock tag pops up.
Regarding the price, its like an analogy my friends made; "If you want an escort you won't negotiate the price" - this is my escort. I've said my 2 pence.
Let's it get done! Playstation 5, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Demon's Souls, Astro's Playroom and Ratchet & Clank...DO IT!
@teknium_ I think there's pretty much 0% chance of PS5 disc version being more expensive than £449/$499 especially with Xbox prices already being out in the open.
Last gen, the PS4 was more powerful and $100 less. So I think some people are expecting Sony to pull that move again and undercut. I don’t think they’re in a position to do that again and I think we’ll be fortunate if they’re able to match the price of $499 usd.
At last, all I need to know is how much, when and what games are actually here for launch
@playstation1995 - syphon filter!!!?? - oh, man i'd love for sony to bring back the syphon filter franchise!
@MichaelHawj
I hope so, I’m ready to preorder, day one.
Well its on a Wednesday and I have to work. So the bigger question is how am I gonna watch this. Guess I'll have to sneak off to the ***** for 40 mins.
@MichaelHawj - right. that's what i said. MS was responding to leaks.
@playstation1995 I will be holding your digital hand in anticipation of a Syphon Filter remake getting a release. I'm not holding my breath though.
Having said that, if it doesn't get an announce, Tombi/a, Legacy Of kain or Nightmare Creatures (what with the success of Bloodborne) will suffice.
@AdamNovice hopefully, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart gonna be launch title
@Dezzy70 Me too, i gonna pre-order PS5 Digital Edition. i know not alot people want PS5 digital edition due to vote poll resulted on what i saw
@JohnKarnes me too! and judging by how many are fixated on price, i'm hoping i'm able to preorder while these people are debating whether the price is 50 dollars too high . LOL.
@eddie429 Wouldn't know, they're largely an irrelevance to me so I don't really follow what they do.
What's the betting it's 30 minutes of Knack 3 and 10 minutes of Godfall? Joking. It's got to be launch date, launch price and launch games surely? Maybe that means the PAX event is the teardown / UI stuff.
@eddie429 PS5 cost 499.99, PS5 digital edition cost 399.99 are my guess. Sony could give us surprise on pre-order date is September 21 before xbox series x pre-order go up next day lol
@stu123 - i'm thinking same on price. it doesn't really matter to me - i'm getting one, regardless.
@Grumblevolcano I agree and it's a price that me and friends have been saying all along, just mentioned £550 as that's the only thing that Sony could do wrong
It will be sweet if there is a montage section of 'here are our Sony studios PS4 games running with upgrade patches on PS5'.
This is exciting of course but why isn't this branded a State of Play ? I wonder if Sony is just done with that name brand already ?
@MichaelHawj - agreed! and i wouldn't be shocked if sony pegged nov 3rd to launch. if they're ready, get out there a week before MS.
@eddie429 November 3 : that would be awesome but my guess is November 6 or 13 or 20
@PSfanboy1992 - from the description, it sounds specifically like a launch game/launch game window event. so, no need to use the state of play name......just a guess.
@MichaelHawj - as long as i get a preorder, i'll take any of those dates!!! LOL
@BearsEatBeets - first and most importantly, i'd like to see demon souls and spiderman gameplay. but, your idea is a good one.
@Hopewell true. the only reason ps4 was $100 cheaper is because kinnect was packaged with every xbox, otherwise both would have been at the same price point. you are right, though, sony doesn't have the incentive to undercut the series x. that said, the series x is theoretically more powerful than the ps5 (other than the ps5 having a superior ssd) — it would be a hell of move if sony listed ps5 at $450 and the all digital at $400 (i still believe the all digital will be $400 regardless of what happens).
@eddie429 which verison you getting ? i am getting PS5 Digital Editon because not alot people want buy Digital Edition based on vote poll resulted on what i saw. i guess you saw vote poll resulted from PUSH Square posted it about ask people which one they gonna buy : PS5, Digital Edition, Xbox series x and xbox series S
@eddie429 think you're right, seems like they're gearing up to show launch line up, price and launch date, and I think that's what most people want to see.
Why they have to show the PS5 looking all black like that, it's just rubbing it in. Anyhow, day one for me again. I have a space on my wall sorted and I'll be getting one of those floating wall brackets so I don't have to care how big it is or how ugly it looks! I'm looking forward to replaying some of the PS4 greats without needing headphones.
@eddie429 I meant now that all the info is out there Sony can't just keep holding back.
I'll not be surprised if it will be repeat of all games we've seen + one new game. Everything else will be bonus.
@MichaelHawj - disc version. i like the flexability of buying either digital or physical. i get your point though about the digital - it may be easier to get. what i'm wondering is if each person is allowed to buy just one ps5 - or one of each model? if each person can buy one of each, that digital might be hard to come by too.
@vegeta11 - gotcha! and i agree. when i heard that MS opens preorders on the 22nd, i've said since that sony has to give price/release date before then and have preorders open no later than the 22nd.
@Boucho11 still blows my mind anyone would want a white console or controllers. I read a while back that they might do interchangeable faceplates which would be neat.
White just shows the grime too easily
@eddie429 i talked to my store. they said limit one per person so that great news for me. if you live in USA then i pre-order it in Best Buy store by using gift card that has 500.00
i'm hoping for a preorder invite direct from sony. i've gotten 3 emails from them in the last month talking about their preorder options. if i dont' get that, i know the manager at gamestop, so i'll call him and see what's up there - the day preorders open up is a going to be crazy!
Yaaaaassssssssssssss !!!!
@eddie429 did you ask gamestop manager how many unit for pre-order console ?? if they say one limit per person then you are good to get one on day one
@SirAngry agreed. it's like i said a few days ago - sony isn't going to sit and wait while MS open preorders. i knew they'd do something next week - now there are 2 events..... i didn't expect that. i think MS might have poked the bear.
@eddie429 the PAX event now makes so much more sense now there's an event two days earlier. It also means that come TGS they might have even more to show. Maybe this is the beginning of Sony's marketing campaign proper. I hope so.
@MichaelHawj - yea, he's already gotten word of that several months ago. he said one console per person. that had come from gamestop brass - not sony. hopefully this cuts down on scalpers.
@SirAngry - big agree on that. i really didn't understand why their only event next week was at pax - now, everything does make more sense.
Excited! Looking very much forward to said showcase.
@ShogunRok Well it was 9AM here, and 2/3 of the country is still sleeping.
My gut reaction - they were going to announce it on Monday for Wednesday but w/ all the Xbox news this week - a week earlier than planned as Phil Spencer tweeted - they decided to not deal with insane social media fans all weekend long and just said "screw it, announce it now". Yesterday would have been better though.
So, Wednesday night I can finally start The Witcher 3.😁
@MasterEMFG - i con't care about the color - i am wanting to stand that thing up, though - tower of power!
Omg!!!11 Sooo hyyyped. About all those great and interesting games that will come out!!1
(zzz, hint. There are no (big) good games coming out until end of next year)
Awesome! I have the day off that day so I'll be able to watch it live.
@Hopewell why they can't? they made fortunes from the ps4 and billions from their store and services..providing an affordable base product and make profit from software and services is their most successfull business model.
@eddie429 lol you mean scalpers are one who pre-order many units to sell on Ebay for higher price ?
@MasterEMFG I agree. I’d like a grey one. Like the old PS1 grey.
Bloody Sony!
@MichaelHawj - yea. i would never pay those inflated prices but some do - i think it's bad for gaming. a couple months ago there were a couple people who already sold ps5 preorders for 2000 dollars thru auctions! i think that kind of thing is crazy.
Who thinks they are gonna wait until the 21st to reveal price and then shadowdrop pre-orders then and there. LOL.
I could totally see them doing something like that.
I'm not getting too excited about this. I'm not getting swept away in the hype. I'm not going to pre-order. I'm not. I'm......not.
@JJ2 Oh wow, someone who didn't know "sauce" is internet slang for source. Haven't seen that happen in over a decade.
Thanks for the nostalgia.
Crossing my fingers for new socom game! Come on sony, bring it back!
Hopefully this is like the bits in the likes of Rocky II/III etc.,where Rocky gets his second wind & brings the counter attack after taking an extended time-out after getting head-butted the last week or two!
Don't get me wrong,I've loved the exclusives & AA indies giving a great showing of what Sony next-gen is all about.
But I'm still waiting for that promised teardown-I want to know about the new UI interface,that button replacing the share one, battery duration on controllers,& esp. the b/c functionality & how it'll operate in greater detail,& if there's any additional PS5 services related to the PSN store etc. too.
Just let me pre order and pay for it over 24 months please 🤣 oh and also a black model day one would be nice. Plus demon souls 🤛🏻
I will say if a price and release date aren't shown there will be a giant backlash so big that it will overshadow anything that was shown. Hopefully Sony understand this and will come prepared.
Other than that I really want to see the next gow and hopefully some Demon souls gameplay!
I think they will announce a price and date. I want to see some major shake ups with PS Now and PS Plus though, something to compete with Gamepass. I think with how aggressive Microsoft are being, and how good of a deal a Series S is with Gamepass, (i am seriously considering that to be my first xbox system ever at some point) Sony just doing the same old same old isnt going to cut it. Unless they undercut the competition in a BIG way. But even then how long can it last when up against gamepass. 2 games a month you might not like that are only available for that month to add to your library or else you miss out, or a bunch of games for way less that are always available as long as you're subscribed. PS Now kind of fills that spot but its not available everywhere and certainly not where i live. Gamepass is. I want a PS5 but for the first time ever M$ have tempted me. Surely there are more people that that think the same. This gen will surely be interesting and disruptive. And we would all benefit if Sony started going aggressive and disruptive too instead of what feels like some of that post PS2 arrogance shining through after the success of PS4 i.e talking about value, the exotic look of the PS5, clearly stating they believe in generations which could mean they like the status quo. Don't get me wrong, i like the look of the PS5, the dual sense looks like the perfect controller i cant wait to get my hands on one. I really want to play Spider Man Miles Morales and Ratchet and Clank. But do i want it at launch if there is no decent response to Gamepass? I just don't know now. I'm excited to see how it plays out thats for sure.
Not getting my hopes up for prices/release date.
Remember that when MS was dropping XBX bombs, we were getting VR and Indie updates...
Regardless, it will be nice to get some updates on upcoming games.
This HAS to detail price and launch details. Microsoft have made a major move in the right direction with pricing the Series S the way they did. I at least expect a launch date given how we're hypothetically speaking, just under two months from launch.
I guess they have had to do this quickly because of xbox giving a date and price in order to compete.
40minutes hopefully i will be epic. It might be another asmr session though for the internet to go crazy about.
@MichaelHawj They already confirmed launch window so early 2021 probably
Finally!!! So hyped!
Jesus Christ Sony! Now been cryptic about a showcase that is a blatant price and release date stream! What's with the cloak and daggers? I just don't get it. Anyway... What's your price predictions?
I honestly thing Sony are in a hard position. Xbox has given the green light on a £500 console but does Sony really want to price the disc-less at £450, £150 more? I don't see they have much option tbh and although £450 will be a decent offer in comparison it suddenly doesn't seem great...
@DonJorginho interesting prices those. Can actually see this tbh
@crimsontadpoles Toot Toot!! All aboard!!
@MichaelHawj
Probably go the disc edition though I prefer downloading digital, but there is always the odd game that I play say COD single player than have no use for it after, so can sell the disc.
@graysoncharles "Sometimes I troll, sometimes I speak my mind. Deal with it."
A troll this time
£450 with 3 months ps plus subscription
£350 for the digital including 3 months ps now subscription
Someone I'm good mates with from Ireland heard in their local Gamestop someone tell a customer PS5 stock wasn't coming to Europe till February, complete bs or reckon there's something to it? @ShogunRok
@DonJorginho gamestop employees don't know anything. If you spend any amount of time reading blogs and press releases, you likely know more than they do.
@DonJorginho isn’t Europe PlayStations biggest market? Sounds like a load of crap if you ask me. I just looked and PlayStation have sold close to 10m in the Uk.
@Boxmonkey that's what I'm not getting about it, I think it's just miscommunication from the employee
@nookie_egg. Yes syphon filter is my third favorite franchise ever.ps1 games and psp was legendary.a parasites eve will be amazing also.word up son
Wait what, I always sleep through these things damn
@eddie429. Oh yeah.syphon filter is amazing.bring back parasites eve also.and resistance.word up son
Oh hell, is it finally happening?! Let’s get that price out there so I know what to put back!
Damn that's like the one time I won't be around to follow along live
Nice. Looking forward to this event and the one at PAX.
Also, of course they aren't going to explicit say that they are going to be revealing the per-order date and prices in that event. This is just a blog announcement for an event, not a breakdown announcement of every little thing that's going to be in there... Honestly, I can't wait for them to get that information out of the way so the Internet can stop whining about it and focus again on what's really important: the games.
@DonJorginho Very likely just rumours of rumours that find their way from person to person. Would be a disaster for Sony if somehow true!
Please announce a black version the white is horrid! Lol. Something to look forward to anyway let’s hope we finally get that price and release date.
Can't wait for Cerny's 40 minute teardown of that lovely remote control.
@Menchi
Oh yes. I apologise if I offended you haha
I've seen that a few times I think? Not my thing.
It's not often that somene asks for my source.
Ask for my sauce next time I'll still go heh?
It's Saturday too...
The price difference on the PS4 and Xbox One was mainly due to the kinect. There will be a price difference on the PS5 and Xbox Series X due to the PS5 stand. That sort of tech does not come cheap I hear!
Seriously though they will have to match the price to not lose the initial momentum. Doesn't matter which is the better console. They both run COD, FIFA, Madden and Fortnite, so for the average Joe it is all about price.
I really dont care about price at all, im getting it regardless. I just want to see more games that haven't been shown and to find out the release date
@JJ2 Oh it wasn't offensive or anything, I was just legit shocked to see it lol
40 mins to tell you price and pre order date lol
Oh yeah LET'S GO!
I want to buy the PS5 fully on day one and maybe just maybe I get an xbox for gamepass only!
@ShogunRok
Friday was the 9/11 19th anniversary so not really a good day for public announcements.
They need to announce a killer launch exclusive. Spider-Man: Miles Morales just isn't that game for me. I loved the original Spider-Man, but I think it would be disappointing if Sony's biggest launch game is a stand alone expansion, which I assume will reuse a lot of assets from the main game. Fingers crossed for Demon Souls.
@TheIdleCritic I'm still getting a PS5 day one regardless of what they announce. I currently own a 4K TV, but only have a base PS4, so it'll still be a nice little upgrade for me playing PS4 games on a PS5.
PS5 - 500$
PS5 DE - 400$
PS4PRO - 300$
PS4 - 200$
PSVR - 200$
I don’t know if Sony will anounce all this prices in this event. But that should be their comeback for MS. That’s just my opinion. No “insider” info.
@Darylb88 I think they will take a bigger loss on the DE so they will move more units. That’s all profit for them. Yes it’s an issue. Most people will think that you are paying a premium for the disc version but actually they are taking the loss on digital. The price between them will be controversial either way. If it’s just 50$ people would be better off just buying the disc version.
@SilkySmile89 Yeah I guess they can't win either way. Hopefully they take the hit as £399 is my sweet spot for either the digital or physical. I'm planning on getting the Series S at £249 so a £349 or £399 PS5 would allow me both for what I have saved up.
Just woke up to this news. YES! GAMES, PRICE, AND RELEASE DATE! That's all I want Sony, don't let me down.
@Darylb88 the only way they can please every body is either increase storage on the 500$ or reduce on the 400$. But looks like 825 is set in stone for both consoles. Or who knows they didn’t say that explicitly. During Mark Cerny’s presentation, he said that the storage is 825. During the June announcement was nothing about storage.
If you buy a digital edition it means you have a good internet connection and you can download games easily, and can live with a smaller SSD. Even you can use a ext HDD just for storage and when you want to play them just transfer on the SSD. IMO they could drop the storage to 512ish and drop the price even lower to 350$ and then it’s really competitive.
@GKO900 And maybe a version that doesn't look like it has been slowly melted in the sun.
As a gamer who prefers physical media, the disc-less PS5 is irrelevant to me. However the Series S is appealing for a couple of reasons. My Xbox OG/360/One digital collection being available to me in a different room. And GamePass. Microsoft may have actually convinced me to buy both consoles.
@Paranoimia has to be
@playthedangame about damn time
Hope they finally show off the Silent Hill reboot.
@MichaelHawj we get it. No need to copy and paste the same reply multiple times. I think well get the price, release date, and preorder date.
Ok, finally. So event on Wednesday. Ms preorder is the following Tuesday.
If Sony opens preorders Wednesday, the pre preorder signup thing was as sham. If preorders are after the following Tuesday they're letting ms sell first. So where does the pre pre order signup thing fit into all this?
@__jamiie You need to wait at least 2 years for that but I agree with you
Any idea on how or when emails will be sent?
Possible? $499 and Spider-Man Miles Morales is included as a digital download.
And then xbox can counter with 6 months of Game Pass.
I'm hoping for a surprise Socom reveal!
@Mad001 maybe 30 minutes for games including launch date and 10 minutes for ps5 launch date, pre-order date and price
@Dezzy70 yep that why i don't buy COD games anymore. single player take 5-6 hours to complete then no need to replay more playthrough
Am I missing something and/or is my phone contrast messed up? That is a black ps5 on my screen yet no mention or speculation in any news articles after this announcement?
I think with MS being aggressive, Sony can’t afford to not give us price and release date this week. They also need seriously good pricing as MS have played their hand very well with series s and game pass. It almost feels like a reversal of this gens launch to me so far...
@IronMike - xbox preorders start on the 22nd. sony has next week to get price/ release date out to get their preorders opened no later than the 22nd. it doesn't take much smarts to figure sony wants their preorders to be live when MS opens up theirs.
price, release date will be announced at one of those events next week and preorders will start no later than sept. 22.
@Iroha - i am. this has been a miserable year with the covid hysteria. as soon as preorders go live - i'm after one!! LOL
@TheAdza - if gamepass is such a great deal - why hasn't MS done better with this gen? gamepass has been available for quite some time already.
@TheIdleCritic - along with MM, demon souls remake is a BIG day1 release.
@MichaelHawj - i think 39 minutes for games with the other info hitting the screen in the last minute.
@badbob001 - you'll see bundles later on - but not at launch.
If we get a date, I hope it is a global launch rather than phased. Still wondering what "Late 2020" means on the UK site. On the US site it says Holiday 2020.
@UrNowMyMonkey It's backlit so it shows in extreme shadow, but if you look at the upper-left corner where it's better lit, you can see it's still the white version.
I think the fact it's backlit is just supposed to look dramatic, but instead it makes me really wish they were releasing it in black. I'll just hide mine behind the TV anyway o/
@eddie429 but not long enough to turn the tides after a disastrous XBox One launch and the runaway success of PS4. Do you really think it's not a great deal because of lower xb1 units sold? Or just defending Sony just because? I think its a great deal. And i know thats purely subjective. But what what i think as well as many other game websites that champion gamepass and its value as a service have anything to do with console units sold? Just because something didn't sell better than the competition doesnt mean that the games and services on that platform don't have merit. Some of the best games in history have been locked to consoles that have performed badly. I don't see your logic. Sorry.
@TheAdza - it has nothing to do with being a "fanboy". it has everything to do with facts. gamepass hasn't helped MS at all this gen. but, all of a sudden, it's going to be a difference-maker in the next gen? and i did NOT say gamepass didn't have merit or a place. surely, for cash-strapped people who have NO alternative, gamepass will give them something. but my point was : until MS shows they can compete better than they have for the last 7 years, it's all talk. so, lets see what happens in the next 2 years.
@TheIdleCritic Could be, I mean officially people wouldn't really refer to it as Holiday 2020 in the UK - but it's the fact that it was changed from Holiday 2020 to late 2020 that makes me wonder. Guess not long until we know for sure!
@theheadofabroom I wasn't too bothered about it being black but it would be nice considering my surround sound, sky q, ps4 and ps4 Pro all housed in my TV unit are black. Not to mention the black bezeled 75inch 4k beside the 50 inch 4k I bought for the girlfriend so we could game side by side, all black just makes for a completely ascetic setup but my unit is white gloss with a black gloss drop down drawer so either way I will just be happy to have a PS5
November 13th
All Digital $399
PS5 $449
Let’s put it this way if Sony don’t release any details about the price and release date this Wednesday, I’ll guess it’s not coming this year. Come on Sony, XBOX are way ahead and we’re getting impatient on these two very important details. Stuff any games info, date and price that’s all we wanna know!!!
@lDustee when we here it direct from Sony then if your details are right then well done but forgive us if we don’t believe you at the minute.
@andy24king I was just predicting.
@eddie429 Gamepass can be a difference maker this time because it is an established service at the launch of the console with lots of coverage about how great it is. Im really tempted by it now. Never owned an Xbox before. I don't care which company sells more consoles. I just care about games and my wallet.
Whoa I missed alot of comments yesterday. Regarding the tweet, I expect them to majorly focus on new games and updates for already announced/existing games.
Then at the VERY end, they will drop a fancy CGI trailer showing off very quickly the PS5 again (maybe the insides) and then reveal the prices and release date for both standard PS5 and Digital PS5!
My realistic predictions are $600 Standard and $500 Digital, but I'd definitely prefer $500 Standard/$400 Digital or cheaper.
I've seen some people guess as low as $450 Standard and $300-$350 Digital to compete with Xbox.
As for my release date predictions, I'm assuming November 13 so they can release a Launch Day bundle for Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War.
Which makes alot of sense since PlayStation does have the exclusive advertising rights (I think?).
@TheAdza - with a new console i care about who gives me the most and best games - and that's always been sony. i will agree that if you're cash-strapped and need to watch your spending, gamepass could give you a way to play a lot of games without spending a lot of money - but i think you miss a lot in the sony exclusives. good luck with whatever choice you make.
@TheIdleCritic at what point did I brag. Just sounds like your jealous. Get a grip mate
There's loads of people out there with bigger and better setups than mine. Join a community or something and get out the basement @theidlecritic
Finally we get a price and date. So hyped to pre-order my precious PS5.
@TheAdza I agree I think Sony will combine PS+ and PSNOW which would give all Ps5 users access to the majority of the p4 back catalogue, certainly the PS exclusives as a way to get PC and Xbox customers to snap up a Playstation. This combined with great exclusives will be how Sony win.
Sony: Look at the amazing games you'll be able to play!
Us: Yay! So excited!
Sony: Last 20 seconds of the showcase... 'sorry, delayed until 2021'.
@eddie429 maybe final 2 minutes for pre-order date, price and release on the screen
@MichaelHawj - that's what i think will happen. they might give that first - but i think it'll be at the end.
@eddie429 yeah we will see what happen tomorrow. can't wait to watch it on Youtube
@MichaelHawj - me too. i'm counting on them saying demon souls, spiderman, bugsnax are launch games. hoping for ratchet and returnal to follow in the next 2-4 months.
@eddie429 omg Target and Walmart sold out on PS5 pre-order
i tried gamestop.com - i got one in my cart but it wouldn't let me check out. said, not available. they all couldn't have been taken that fast - preorders tonight are really wonky. we'll just have to wait to see what goes on tomorrow - good luck!
