Sony has yet to reveal the design of the PS5, let alone hint at how much it will cost. But that hasn’t stopped a PS5 listing popping up on Amazon UK with a price tag of £599, or approximately $760 according to Techradar.
Many expecting PS5 to cost more than the Xbox Series X, with the former console predicted to be priced at the $500 mark and Microsoft’s machine undercutting it by $100; UK prices are set to track around the same numbers but in pounds sterling instead of dollars. However, nearly £600 or $760 is likely to be too high a price tag, even for the most dedicated PlayStation fans.
One person was reportedly able to buy the console before the item was removed.The model ordered included 2TB of storage, which is not in line with the PS5’s specs reveal earlier this year, where it was explained the base console comes with an 825GB solid state drive (with the option for an additional external hard drive). The word ‘dummy’, too, obviously indicates a placeholder.
The PS5 Future of Gaming event is coming up on 11June , where it is expected to focus exclusively on software, and maybe not the price of the console and it’s likely to be revealed as we get closer to the PS5’s launch in the 2020 holiday season.
