Playstation 5 [PS5] [Release November 12 2020]

You're paying a premium ($80/£100/€120) to add the optical hump later, but at least it's an option. $30 for the vertical stand. Is that needed with the current model?

Top half gloss, bottom half matte. Weird. $55 for different colored shells. Will they maintain the gloss/matte split, or will you get only luxurious matte for your $55?

with how sony keeps hiking their pricing (console, subs, games) and nickel and dimming their players (the vertical stand is sold separateely!) seems they are pretty confident they have won the market.
 
Isn't that the previous price increase that never hit the US? It's not increased worldwide, just NA where the price has been proportionally lower for a year or so.
its yet another hike

Yes that $399 price tag in US was still an anomaly.

Sony were like: "do we really need that $399 min price for PR marketing thingy in US?"
and Jimbo probably answered "My retirement bonuses require a $449 minimum price even in US"
 
btw anyone know where can i read sony's money? like... does they still shed money like gutted boar, with only life insurance and PS division keeping everyone afloat, or its much better now?
