OMG, guys! 😱 Sony just hit us with some not-so-great news if you’re gaming in Europe, the UK, or Australia. Brace yourselves – the PS5 is getting pricier! 📈💷💶 Blame it on what Sony calls ‘a challenging economic environment’ (read: inflation’s being a pain, as usual). 😕
Here’s the lowdown: In Europe, the PS5 Digital Edition just jumped to €500 from €450. Over in the UK, it’s now £430, up from £390. And for our friends in Australia, the Digital Edition is now AUD $750, a leap from AUD $650. Meanwhile, in New Zealand, the disc version is nudging up to NZD $950 from NZD $900. 🚀
But hey, it’s not all doom and gloom! 🌈 In a twist, the add-on disc drive is actually getting cheaper – now €80 in Europe (down from €120) and £70 in the UK (down from £100). So, if you’ve been eyeing that upgrade, the universe is giving you a nudge. 🎉
These price changes? They’re happening right now. So if you’ve been teetering on the edge about snagging a PS5, you might want to hustle before the old prices vanish into thin air! 🏃♂️💨
