Just because the evidence seems to imply that these prices are wholly unreliable doesn’t make them entirely unrealistic, however. Yes, the 1TB version of the PS5 is certain to be meaningfully lower in price than the 2TB version. But if the 2TB PS5 version does exist, a £599.99 price point is possible. In recent years, prices between the UK and the US have been moving toward being parallel. That could imply a $599 price in the USA for this PS5 model, which is not unrealistic if the base PS5 price is indeed $499 like speculated.
The last interesting detail is that someone was able to place a pre-order from this placeholder. This isn’t unprecedented, as placeholder listings for official products are common, with the profile being expanded on and the price adjusting once an official announcement is made. This pre-orderer may be in luck, becoming the world’s first to have officially put money down for a PS5. Even more importantly, however, this listing may imply that pre-orders for PS5 could be opening tomorrow during the PS5 event.
The PS5 releases holiday 2020.
