How can anyone explain the fact that they’re charging for the most basic tutorial game when you can get a REALLY good demo game like Astro’s Playroom for free with your PS5? That was a very odd decision on their part. As of now, electronics are exempt from Trump's tariffs 🧡The blindfold's off my eyes, all I see for me is better days🧡 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next console I buy will probably be a PS6 whenever that happens 🧡The blindfold's off my eyes, all I see for me is better days🧡 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next console I buy will probably be a PS6 whenever that happens The switch 2 price is fine imo, it's still the cheapest console out there and the upgrade justified the $150 price increase imo, ps5 was overpriced since the beginning compare to the ps4 and they are increasing the price even more 4 years after launch, the ps4 price was below $300 after 4 years and let's not talk about the outrageous price of the ps5 pro The current gaming tech is not as cheap as it was, especially post-covid when economy has changed and became more expensive.

A lot of PS5 fanatics believe that PS5 increases in other markets are to offset price increases in the US. It seems like Sony thinks increasing prices in North America would hurt sales much more than if they went up in other places. Chip manufacturing is just too expensive atp. It's why console makers aren't able to price down their consoles as aggressively as they have in the past (or at all). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
