If you’ve been following the leaks and rumours around the PlayStation 5’s expected pricing, you’ll already know what’s coming next because the rumours were right. The PlayStation 5 is priced starting at $499. That’s the price for the standard PS 5. The digital edition is slightly more affordable at $399. Obviously, at that price, the PlayStation 5 won’t really compete against the Xbox Series S which is priced at $299. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the Xbox Series S isn’t a flagship next-gen console. It’s going to be considerably less powerful than the Xbox Series X. The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition on the other hand, has all the power of the PlayStation 5, but without a disc reader. Personally, I think it makes sense for the console to be priced higher than the Series S based on that. Anyway, Sony also announced the launch dates for the consoles. The PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition will launch on November 12, one day before the Xbox Series X|S, in the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea. However, the rest of the world won’t have to wait too long, with a launch set for November 19. So what do you think about the PS 5’s pricing structure? Are you thinking of getting the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X|S? Let us know in the comments down below.
