Your PS5 purchase is now being taxed an extra 10% so the US government can pay off its own debt. DISGUSTING!

Everything electronics keeps dropping in price (Laptops, PC parts, phones, tablets, etc) but it's really unfortunate that the Adamantium Core that's needed to build gaming consoles are so darn rare and expensive.

According to Sony, the increase isn't because of tariffs because they moved US console production out of China to avoid the tariffs. It's clear they see Nintendo and Microsoft (well, mostly Nintendo) is making money from higher priced consoles, so now Sony wants some of it.

I know this is not PS5 related but I still wanted to make this point - the instant coffee mix I purchased a few months back was $3.99 but yesterday it was priced at $6.50. I honestly didn't realize coffee was one of the impacted items because of the tariffs. Now if only all the employers give their employees some pay raise. Wishful thinking?

I'd sell the PS5 if it weren't for all the PS4 games I own.

Where did they move manufacturing to? It's also possible that it simply costs more to make them if they're being manufactured outside of China, but inside of a jurisdiction with advanced manufacturing capability.

There is no way Microsoft is selling many consoles at those new prices. Xbox is a dead system.

It was nice to get all the Xbox and PS5 deals from the past few years. No way I would even consider a 5 year old console at these new prices. Even the Switch 2 was a skip at the hardware and accessory prices they are charging.

Remember when consoles dropped in price over their lifetimes, until replacement by a new model?
