PS5 Price and Pre-Order Availability Rumored to be Announced Tomorrow

4.2
PS5 price and pre-order rumors are swirling once again, with a new lead coming about from a retail storefront in the UK.

Let me preface this up front: don’t get too excited just yet. Are your reservations in check? Okay, cool.

According to GAME, a retail storefront located in the UK, Sony is set to have a new announcement of some sort ready to go tomorrow which could be related to pre-orders for the PS5. In a tweet that has since been deleted, GAME stated that PlayStation has “scheduled an announcement” for tomorrow on September 9. Considering this is a retailer talking about Sony having some sort of revelation related to PS5, you would imagine that whatever this potential reveal (if it’s real) would then be tied to the price of the console, in addition to potential pre-order options.


Obviously, though, there’s a lot of different scenarios at play here. For starters, GAME could very well have tweeted out a false statement which is why the message was wiped shortly after going up. That said, they could have also deleted the tweet because the information was correct and they were not supposed to share it ahead of time.

There’s also the fact that tomorrow does contain a sort of significance for Sony, especially for those in North America. September 9 actually marks the 25th anniversary of the release of the PS1 for those in the region. As such, it would make sense on paper for Sony to perhaps do something to celebrate the occasion. What better way is there to celebrate the past than by also looking to the future? This idea is understandable in my head, at least, even though Sony has already said it’s focusing on all things PSVR this week.

It’s also worth mentioning that in recent weeks, Sony has been getting its ducks in a row when it comes to pre-orders for the PS5. Not too long ago, a registration page for the next-gen console went up on the PlayStation website. Those who registered via this avenue were then said to have first dibs on pre-orders whenever Sony decides to move forward with them.

In the grand scheme of things, you should surely take this tweet from GAME with a massive grain of salt. Then again, considering that the PS5 will be out at some point in the next two or three months, Sony has to begin making announcements regarding price, release date, and pre-orders at some point soon. At least, that’s what any reasonable person would think, right?

In other next-gen news, the Xbox Series S was formally revealed by Microsoft today and it’s only going to cost $299. Neat.

CtrlAltDelete Wonder how they are gonna compete with Xbox


There is no competition PlayStation always out sells the Xbox. So much exclusives and content than Xbox and I have both PS4 and XB1 Xbox has all that power for no games lol like they need to make more exclusives to even stand a chance!


This is true except for the PS3/Xbox 360 generation, where the sales are neck and neck it's ridiculous. However, given the fact that Xbox just announced the price is $499 for the next generation console, this definitely puts Sony in the hot seat if they come in at anything higher than that price tag.

The typical mother buying her kid a game console doesn't necessarily care about which she buys; she buys based on the price. This is why the current gen (Xbox One/Ps4) gave Sony a MASSIVE leg up due to coming in at $100 cheaper. The reason PS has more exclusive games right now is that developers cater to their audience. The PS4 has a market share of over 50%, with Xbox One somewhere in the mid to high 20s. If the tide shifts, so will the developer's loyalty and mom's spending habits.

As far as I'm concerned Xbox is miles better for me for the simple fact of the Game Pass, Both consoles are the same xbox has things playstation doesn't have and playstation has things Xbox doesn't both great consoles but PC will always be better no matter what.
