You know that please-be-so-cheap-for-my-sake prices won't happen right?
. It will be $399 + $99 for disc drive 
. I hope they go with $499 without disc drive for Sony maximum profit LMAO.

Isn't the point of new revision is to cutting down production cost and driving sales?You know that please-be-so-cheap-for-my-sake prices won't happen right?
349 USD for holiday season is probably pretty good.
I mean, nowadays consoles not having price drop while the demands still high is a new norm already, so I think the old-school revision-price drop mentality is already dead.
I think it will come in at 399 + 99 at the start and it will go down by at least 50 for black friday and possibly by up to 100 if they need to push units at any point in the year.
I think 349 + 99 Sony is agressive with their pricing strategy at the moment and has high targets for console sales this financial year if they're keeping the price the same as now I don't think they'll make it.
I voted 399/99, but wouldn't even be surprised if it's 399/149.
They'll really want to push for digital only sales, and the markup for accessories is already quite profitable, and people who are adamant about getting a BluRay drive will pay the extra cash for it.
The Dualsense Edge is 199$ for christsakes.

LMAO that's right, and why some people here expect $349 anyway
. We're talking about modern Playstation here, who imo has achieved Apple brand-status level of myth with PS5, so they can put higher price on products and people will buy it anyway. In fact, we should be grateful they still priced PS5 at $399 with digital edition and most likely new PS5-2000 too. If you want $349, just wait for black friday .

That would make them lose more money on services. Like use your common sense for a bit, they are pushing new revision to lower price, to a point where they can break even when they sell at lower costs, they are not dumb to push to pricings increase for "inferior" products, that would be a suicide move.
They are not using Nintendo model, make profit on consoles. At the end of the day, services make much more money than consoles sale for PS.
