Throughout all this time we have been verifying that it is not easy to get hold of a PS5. It is usually sold out everywhere and when a store receives new units they end up flying in a matter of minutes. As if that were not enough, starting today will have to pay even more to make you with her.
This is not an error. Sony just officially confirmed
Also, we are not talking about a small rise, s ince they are 50 dollars plus those that will have to be paid
The reason Sony has provided for this significant increase is due to high global inflation rates and adverse currency trends:
The global economic environment is a challenge that many of you around the world are experiencing without a doubt. We are seeing high rates of global inflation, as well as adverse currency trends, affecting consumers and putting pressure on many industries. Based on these difficult economic conditions, Sony Interactive Entertainment has made the difficult decision to increase the minimum recommended price of PS5.
The change affects both the model with Blu-Ray and the one that goes without it, so that, except in the United States, this will be the new price of PS5 until further notice:
