If the launch lineup was good enough and exclusive (not just the timed bullshit), yes. But that won't happen, so, no.

 

[DeeDogg_]

I said that I'd pay as much as $999.99 if the MSRP were that high.

I stand corrected....

 

[Södy]

I might consider it at 499 for the disc version. Otherwise I'll wait.

 

[Enjay]

$5000 is my limit for a console.

Spoiler

Stupid answer to a stupid question

 

[genesisblock]

Considering I paid much more for my Pixel XL via international shipping (and that's with the sale), this doesn't really bother me considering the specs and the usage.

 

[cireza]

No problem. I just have to take a second job to be able to pay for it.

 

[ethomaz]

I believe I will pay more.
I already paid way more for PS4 in 2013.

Said that $800 is basically a death sentence in US.

 

[DavidGzz]

The only hope of me paying that much is Demon's Souls at launch and I would still leave the store with a sore asshole.

 

[Halo is Back]

I wouldn't buy ANY console for $800 lmao

 

[Andyliini]

No. Thats too much, plain and simple. Even 599 US Dollars is pushing it.

 

[SaucyJack]

There’s a crazy rumour that is certainly bullshit but I’m putting up a poll anyway.

Just why?

 

[Optimistic Gamer]

Rarely do I see a vote here where answers are not insane. Good on you, GAF.

 

[Bankai]

I've got a great sequel to this topic in mind: "would you pay $750 for the PS5?"

After that one, I would go crazy and check out "would you pay $700 for the PS5?"

Ofcourse, the story isn't quite finished by then. The next installment could be "would you pay $650 for the PS5?"

 

[Redefine07]

I would , I have an OK`ish PC with Ryzen 5 3600 / 16GB DDR4 / RX570 4GB (go it for 90$ the GPU) so instead of getting something like RTX2070S I would get a PS5 , since I play only fail Dotka 2 on PC mostly.

 

[docbot]

No, but people will pay up to 800 on the resell market to be able to put a PS5 under the christmas tree.

 

[PuppetMaster]

I paid a scalper $800 for a day one PS3...

So ya, probably. If that is what it takes to own one on day one.

 

[shubik]

I´m a die-hard Sony fan and will probably get the PS5 on day one (if possible). But a price tag of 800 bugs would be suicide!!! Never ever will they make this mistake. This sounds more like something Microsoft would do after a grreat game demonstration

 

[turtlepowa]

Some people will probably pay 800 bucks on ebay. PS4 sold for 550 easliy.

 

[Roman Empire]

Maybe we should just wait for Sony and Microsoft to reveal the price for each console instead spewing bullshit left and right.

 

[Lupin3]

I would

Spoiler

 

[REDRZA MWS]

No way either console is over $499 USD. Sony tried that with the launch PS3 (going over 499 usd), and the PS3 crawled until the price dropped and hardware revisions aka features removed.

 

[M1chl]

I don't think even Apple, does have fanbois, who asking how much more I could pay for something..... Some fucking Stockholm Syndrome if I ever see one.

 

[Relativ9]

I'll buy it day one if it's 550 or less, if it's 800 I'll wait for the "slim" version when they've worked out all the kinks and I get it cheaper on top of that.

 

[GreatnessRD]

See someone beat me to it, lol

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

If it'd let you install a fully working Windows 10 additionally then yes.

 

[The ninja farmer]

Won’t pay a scalper, but will pay the going rate

And not what game (uk) think I should for their idea of a ‘console bundle’ with added game ‘overpriced tat’ !!!

Ideally max will be 600, I just can’t see how they can consider it a ‘value proposition’ above that. After all for all the talk it is still just a (highly desirable) games console. Even for The recent push and discussion of adopting an ‘Apple model’.

Personally I see one of the consoles for £500, I just hope it is the full fat one, but would probably pay more for more built in storage. After all, that is the true star of the show, with the I/o being pretty much the new gold standard and something they will lead the market on

Less than £500 would be stunning, for what you are getting in that box

But to Sony & Microsoft, bring it on. We are ready

 

[Orta]

Sounds too like Sony are trying to prepare you guys for a nasty shock when this thing launches....

PlayStation CEO says Sony are emphasising value over price when it comes to PS5

How much will it cost?!

www.givemesport.com

 

[BaneIsPain]

No at first but eventually yes once Horizon Forbidden West is out.

 

[Nemesisuuu]

LOL no way, I'd rather upgrade my PC with that money. That's to much for a console.

 

[PlayVerso]

800?
What a relief ... I had heard it could cost 1,000

 

[SentientStone]

Nope, but if I can resell it for $2000 I would. lol

 

[ANIMAL1975]

For the 14.2 tf 4chan edition sure, that would have been a fairly priced 800 quid beast

Spoiler

they robbed from me

 

[ZywyPL]

800$ for 30FPS?

I made a thread recently about beefed-up, 60FPS-oriented versions of PS5/XBX:

Would you buy a more expensive version of PS5/XSX that plays all games at 60-120FPS instead of 30-60?

As the title says. I just got a thought about Lockhart, except in the opposite direction - instead of cheaper console that's aiming for lower resolution, for people who don't mind lesser performance, what if Sony/MS offered a more expensive option, that aims for higher performance (framerate)...

www.neogaf.com

Now that's something I'd gladly pay 800$ for, even 1000-1200$, but not for this, 30FPS is just pathetic for video games, they all play like dogshit, not to mentions there's so little headroom for any potential frame pacing issues, which we could already see in the revealed games, before next-gen already started.

 

[captain_cabbage]

I built my PC for just a bit over that price tag and it can handle 1080p/60fps just fine. I better spend another 300 to upgrade the graphics card and get a faster rig rather than pay that much for a console. I will buy a PS5 eventually of course, but for a reasonable price.

 

[DGrayson]

No.

Consoles are a supplement to my PC gaming. I use consoles mainly to play exclusives.

 

[Nankatsu]

Even with all the acessories they showed, that's still over priced af.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Ill pay you 800$ for the drugs youre taking. They hit hard.

 

[chigstoke]

Anyone who pays 800 for a console, GBP, EUR, USD or whatever the fuck, needs frigging with a cactus.

I'd rather put that to a Ryzen 4000 series, X670 board and DDR5 ram as I'm due a big overhaul now spec wise (GPU aside, 2080 is still bossing it at 1440 for me). I'd go and play Xbox games on PC through game pass because I'd be done with consoles if they released at that premium.
I've got a DC, a Saturn and Retroarch, that would be plenty enough for me.

 

[GymWolf]

Not when the console has a filthy 10tf gpu.

Gimme a 3080 and 24gb of ram inside and i would pay even 1000 dollars with a smile on my face.

500 is the right price.

 

[dDoc]

Eur500 tops

 

[cornonthecrobb]

if its more than 400 they can fuck off for a while

 

[Frogman_676]

No. A gaming rig would be a better investment at that point.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Nope. Will wait for 299 like always.

 

[cerealbuster]

I would buy a ps4pro and wait like half a year until they cut the price, because no one is buying htat.

 

[vdopey]

I would pay 1K if it was the rumoured ~15TF and it had 24 or 32G RAM, without a second thought.

For what it currently is, no more than 600 (honestly 500) for the disc version, digital version ain't for me, I wouldn't pay anything for it.

 

[XBlackCavendishX]

I've never bought a console at launch, and with a heavy emphasis on cross-gen purchases with "smart delivery" purchases on the XSX for example then there's no rush to upgrade at launch either. I will have both systems at some point, but I have a lot of catching up to do before I consider investing in a new generation.

 

[AudioSlave92210]

No. Maybe 600 max for the disc version. 450 for the X Max.

 

[SleepDoctor]

With an 825gb hard drive? Lol yeah right

 

[Senhua]

Even if it free, I had to think twice before take it home cause without games I like it's wasting a space

 

[KungFucius]

Hell fucking no. If they go over $500 on any model they're smoking that crack pipe, it won't sell very well even at $550. History has shown over and over and over and OVER again that people are most likely to buy a console at launch if it's $399 or less. Sony and Microsoft could pull off $499 and sell out their initial stock but it'll slow down after that.

Inflation? $400 in 2006 is roughly $500 today. $400 in 2013 is roughly $440 today. So what history are you referring to?
