PS5 Digital Edition Now More Expensive Than Switch 2 In UK & Europe

Given those prices, Switch 2 looks mighty attractive now. Those hikes certainly won't entice people who are still on-the-fence with a PS5 purchase.

Nintendo is probably trying to hold on to that profit margin for dear life even as it has the world economy stalking it like a driftloon.

Of course we Europeans would end up eating up the cost of the US tariffs frenzy.

If Mario Kart had been £65 the entire discourse would have been around what excellent value the Switch 2 hardware is. Honestly for what you are getting the console is great value, but that has all been lost because of the software prices (which you can mitigate at least by buying online or trading in etc).

Seems like a silly move by Sony, making the Switch2 look more attractive 😅

Sony, that really was a bad decision. Wow. Nintendo shows a vulnerability and you basically start patching it up, rather than striking.

Digital edition consoles have no place in the perfect world we are striving towards

@TheBlueCatMenace I'm afraid Sony gave up on catching up to Nintendo long ago

@Ooccoo_Jr to be honest, it's hard to say what value S2 is right now. We don't know whether the joycons are durable, and we don't know whether the keycard atrocities will be used instead of physical

@Olliemar28 word up. Given the erratic nature of this idea, the only thing I am certain about is that whatever the price is to be paid, we will be the ones to pay.

B-but i thought inflation wasn't real?? because my wage is the same?
/s

Expect this to happen with most products, not just consoles.
Buckle up brothers, it's gonna be a wild ride (again).

Nintendo's just been in the midst of a rather intense, coincidentally price- related controversy, when Sony decided to kick the door in on everyone and scream "Watch this!"

Hilariously sad how the ol' PS5 Standard Edition I bought way back in 2021 has actually appreciated in value over the years like it's real estate or something lol

Then again, the world is currently getting engulfed in a chaos almost rivalling 1929 at this point, so I guess it makes sense ...maybe ...Still, I've never seen this happen with consoles before (or much of anything else for that matter), where prices just keep going up and up, at least this fast, instead of down ...or heck, even remaining the same.

Sony brings the first good news for Nintendo in the Switch 2 launch, who would have thought?

I feel this is my fault, I'm sonys worst nightmare customer.
I have an OG ps5 - I haven't upgraded
I buy used games only - no Sony money
I have not subscribed to ps plus once

I don't quite understand digital only consoles. Once the servers inevitably get taken down you're just left with a fancy brick.

it is about game prices and sony and xbox game prices will always get discounted for many bargains while first party nintendo games do not even years later..breath of the wild still selling at full price 8 years later is a joke..

@SonicShoes 80% or more of sony games sold are digital it's the changing times even nintendo is ready for the future..

@Oracles_fanboi @johnedwin Nintendo delivers finished software though while Sony is currently still tracing the diabolical live service trend.

Good luck paying monthly fees for most of your games.

I actually think most price hikes of Sony are not due to inflation but due to vastly underperforming live service software sales.

Well there goes that argument.

That's nice of Sony to take some of the heat off Nintendo.

The Switch 2 at 395/ 430 now looks a whole lot better value next to 430/ 480/ 700 for a PS5. And if you want to play in handheld, add on another 200 on for a Portal.

Now we just need Rockstar to let us know the price for GTA6 and then Nintendo will be in the clear again!

Switch 2 pricing has been blown out of proportion. Bundle price is what one would expect, and with PS5 price hike it looks like a good deal.
Games on the other hand might not all cost as much as Mario Kart. There is also very high probability market will follow suit and always looked to go that direction, Nintendo just had to combine console launch and adjustment (just imagine backlash if they increased price in September, post launch).
Lastly, XSX could look like a better deal now, if it wasn't for the fact that platform is dead and buried.

Oh oh, I wonder if there will be any controversies with this, or if yet again :

When Sony does it, it's okay !

I have no faith it will stir any controversies though, as people bought PS5 pro without second thought.

I traded in a few of my 360 shmups and bought a ps5 a few years ago.

I'm glad I got my PS5 (with disc drive) late last year to replace my ailing PS4.

I'm glad I have purchased PS5 Fat machine last June 2024.
It was my right timing to get PS5 Fat machine before get discontinued by Sony.
Also, I spent almost 9 Million Rupiah to buy PS5 Fat machine, one of the most expensive game machine I have ever purchased.
But my purchase of PS5 Fat is really worthy.
With my PS5 Fat, I got 60 fps boost of my 3rd party PS4 kids games when being played on PS5.
I'm so satisfied with my PS5 machine and because of that, I have very high hype with PS5 games for kids.
I still waiting for more kids games by Outright Games, more cute cozy games like Animal Crossing / Harvest Moon / Story of Seasons, 3D platformer games, etc for my PS5.

Meanwhile, I still have low hype with Switch 2 after I found a lot of disappointing stuffs from them. Even Switch 2 have almost like PS4 PRO power, but I still prefer getting 3rd party kids games on PS5 for my favorite Blue color game box, more power to keep the games get stable 60 fps and faster loading time.

Huh, just when they had a chance to say hey, we got a more powerful console for less than the switch 2.

But I guess it must be a rough time to manufacture things like this. People are strapped for cash, so you need to keep the price down, but at the same time it’s becoming more expensive to manufacture stuff.

Not really a great situation for anyone involved, is it?

And it doesn’t help they have to keep investors happy who will abandon ship if your business is 1 cent less profitable than the same time last year. That’s not making a loss, mind you, that’s just making slightly less profit.

And people were expecting a price drop for the OG Switch!

keeping the switch 2 console itself a decent price was the smartest thing nintendo couldve done, nobody likes an overpriced console.

but a casual fan buying a switch 2 and realizing how expensive the ecosystem is after the fact? well.. you already got the console, guess you'll reluctantly pay for the games now

@Goobplus ah luckily i got mine before you then...
(still quite dissappointed in the ps5 though.. i only play astrobot... and got a cheap premium for a few months so played tokyo jungle.. that remade on the switch 2 would be fun)

Remember in the good old days (i.e. last generation) when consoles would go down in price over time?

Remember when a smaller and cheaper version of consoles was released halfway through it's lifecycle?

@JohnnyMind First time hearing about Deku Deals - it looks so useful

@sanderev They might have complained about Nintendo setting a precedent, in which case yup they were right.

Hahaha how boy.. now the focus shifted from Nintendo to Sony 🫡🧐
And for the record, the price of the Switch 2 is good. The complaints where only about some game prices €80/90.
Not all game prices are like that. Streetfighter 6 with all the (Currently available, also the one from June) DLC is €59.99.

With Switch 2 getting the game formerly known as FIFA, COD and Duskbloods there really is no reason to own a PS5.

@sanderev Well they announced an all-new product for a higher than expected price. So no price-hike of a previous product, that is true, because Nintendo is in a transition anyway, unlike Sony. But it is an overall price-hike nonetheless.

@DashKappei That's our special relationship...protect everyone's biggest bloody market.

@The-Chosen-one : The Street Fighter price only includes the currently available DLC (there's almost certainly more on the way, otherwise they would have given it a more definitive subtitle), and no actual data on the cartridge for that particular price.

@Rhaoulos : Like... the Switch Lite?

@Olliemar28 they likely haven’t, and shouldn’t, but that still doesn’t change the point: considering that game consoles haven’t been exempted and the vast majority of PS5s are made in China, that means being hit by the new 150% tariff. Sony is now redistributing to EU/UK the cost of what would otherwise be a humorous price hike in the US. I don’t think anyone can say with a straight face that this price hike and the timing to be unrelated to Trump’s tariffs war.

Well whilst true it makes the Switch 2 look more lucrative you have to remember the PS5 is still a lot more powerful and will still have third party games that won't make it to Switch 2 and games that have full features compared to the Switch 2 versions. So I don't see this price increase effecting much for the Switch 2.

I have never owned a Sony console but I usually keep an eye on what they're up to. And as an outside observer, it seems to me that Sony releases very few brand new games anymore. If I ever was to buy one of the other consoles, it would be an Xbox just for Gamepass, where in the past I'd have leaned towards Playstation because of the big 1st party exclusives. There doesn't seem to be too many of those anymore though.

When does the updated consoles sell-data come out?

Remember when machines got less expensive as they aged ?

These constant increases in the video game industry are starting to worry me. Maybe I should find a cheaper hobby, like golf, skydiving or deep sea fishing

Meanwhile you can get 2 x Xbox Series S consoles for the price of one Switch 2 in Scandinavia.
When Series S are on sale, you can 3 x Series S consoles for the price of one Switch 2.

Pricing don't make any sense anymore except for Series S which cost only 200 bucks on sale sometimes.

@johnedwin Yeah I understand how it's good for the developers, but seeing games being taken away from online stores and the likes of Ubisoft saying you don't own the game just makes me think that physical games are much better for the end user.

@JohnnyMind the Crew’s 1 server going offline (had a singleplayer but was always online/online only campain) started ubisofts downfall. As you couldnt be sure how long you were able to play your game.

A new console with new tech under the hood whether people like it or not is a valid reason for a price increase.

What's Sony's excuse?

Well, good thing I don't intend to get a PS5 at all, then. I think it's weird for Sony to up the prices of their worst selling PlayStation, yet. I thought hardware was usually sold at a loss, so they could make profits on the software. Then again, everything is getting more expensive all the time, so I guess it's just what it is.

@DashKappei We aren't. The price increase is because of inflation and poor exchange rates. The US will get an increase of it's own later, which will be due to the tariffs.

Can we not do the Console Wars this gen? It got old 3 generations ago. Buy and play whatever you feel like and let others do the same. Happy Gaming everyone.

Sadly the promotion about this console is an attempt to maintain market share with an aging platform. I love playing BOTW and TOTK yet would be by far more sophisticated and enjoyable in different high processor and greater resolution platform. In price comparison PlayStation and Xbox are superior platforms. Manufactures best profits have been from game subscriptions and/or game passes. These once popular options have begun to dwindle in light of the “Do Not Own” philosophy restricting consumer rights in ownership to a continuing monthly/yearly payment system.

the base ps5 is on sale at best buy.. you could even get a astrobot throw in game with both the digital and physical version. physical cost the same as switch 2 while the digital is listed at 399 dollars...

Let’s look at this another way.
You are being forced to buy an handheld version of a console Switch 2 with no home console cheaper version for £400 for 3.1 tflops of power.

Why didn’t Nintendo also do a home Switch 2 version for say £250. So others just playing at home docked could enjoy Nintendo games with a cheaper console home model only.
They are no angels Nintendo they are a cut throat business.

At least the PS5 at £430 has 10.2 tflops of power.

@johnedwin the Astro Bot promotional bundles are available retailer-wide in every region at reduced prices compared to base console regular prices.

An ugly move by Nintendo matched by an ugly move by Sony

I sold my PS5 recently as it's not offering any games I am interested in. I decided the money is better invested in the number of Switch games I am interested in.

The JRPGS I can get on PS5, I can get on my Switch/Switch 2, and the AAA exceptions can be brought on my Xbox.

Hopefully, the PS6 generation will offer some new IP to get interested in rather than sequels/remakes and remasters.

@SonicShoes The Crew physical were useless after servers were gone.
Same for Evolved, MAG and a long list of other physicals.

The Rise of price for PS5 doesn't help it sell more console, people will wait longer to buy one or if they get one and that will be for a long time.

As expected, the industry waited for Nintendo to take it on the chin with pricing and then is followed suit as everyone is paying attention to the latter.

@johnedwin don’t care. Never gonna buy one. Zero interest.

@TheBlueCatMenace Sony cares way more about profit and bottom line. This isn’t the first price increase on the PS5 internationally either.

@Anti-Matter we knew you weren’t going to buy it anyway, I’m not surprised by your response. Since you like to announce your decisions, I’m going to say mine.

I’m still going to buy it on day one. My PS5 got replaced by a PC.

@SillyG Guess again. That's a low end version, like the 2DS.

@OldGamer999 You're not force to buy it though. The whole point of the Switch 2 was it's hybrid nature just like it's predecessor only that it's more powerful. Yes having more options is nice but you they can't offer too much or else it too would confuse customers.

Sony was clearly waiting for Nintendo's move before making their own. They are also very much attached to ps being positioned as a premium product so part of this decision was probably to reposition ps above nintendo for all customers out there who consider that a higher price equals a better product. I'm not saying the economic background is not the main reason for this but the way Sony wants ps to be perceived by customers as a premium thing was probably part of the decision.

Now all the big x accounts against NS2 prices suddenly are silent because it always was a smear campaing from PS fans lol.

@IronMan30 " the industry waited for Nintendo "

I think that's what I was thinking as well, if I'm reading you right. While everyone seems to think Sony messed up by this post Switch 2 pricing move I think it's very possible Sony was already thinking about the price wondering how high they could go based on the Switch 2 price. The majority seemed to think Switch 2 would be $399 US, $100 more than the Switch base model, $50 more than OLED, which would leave Sony in a bind. When Sony saw the $449 US price they were probably like, in the words of gamers everywhere, "Let's gooooooo!!".

There was no reason for Sony to leave it's obvious to anyone more powerful console cheaper than a Switch 2. Unless Switch 2 gets GTA 6, which I doubt, PS5 will sell when that game releases. Not by me, not my thing, but it will move consoles. At any price. See PS5 Pro.

the beginning of the article sounds like push square is to blame for the higher prices

@Serpenterror
Well it would not confuse me having a home console version and would be a lot cheaper.
And the option would be great.

They would definitely sell many of them especially for those wanting a second home console that would cost around £250 ish to get those Nintendo AAA in house exclusives.

@GrailUK

US incorrectly thinks they're getting $90 games:
Ear piercing shrieks, every hack journalist and clickbait youtubers pulling all the stops to spread misinformation and cry bloody murder.

Europe gets price rises to cover for US tariffs: <crickets chriping>

Increasing the price of a console in its fifth year is...a choice, I guess? O.o

It makes the Switch 2 look a lot more palatable by comparison, that's for sure. Digital-only 5-year-old stationary console with no games included, or brand-new hybrid console that (although weaker) can play both physical and digital games and comes out of the box with two controllers and a huge game for the same price? If I were a parent looking to get my kids a console this Christmas, I know which one I would choose!

USA: tariffs, market chaos, and miniature American flags for all!

Sony: grrr… I’ll huff and puff and… [raises prices in Europe and Oceania]

Nintendo would be wise to just keep quiet and keep carrying on. There’s already online disquiet about Switch 2 pricing, so they should just be glad that Sony has just voluntarily stepped on a rake and provided a valuable distraction.

This pretty much concludes Switch 2 only for me next gen. Although I may get a PC on some sort too, a handheld or something, have a Steam Deck which I shall sell as it doesn't do what I want.
But Sony increasing prices in markets outside the US one to make up for US tariffs is pretty lowball insulting to it’s customers outside the US.

@OldGamer999 Considering how many units the Switch sold, I think it's safe to say that it holds a lot of appeal with casual gamers, who as a general rule of thumb don't care about teraflops (or even know what they are). Besides, the main defining characteristic of the console is its portability; I have a lot of friends who had not gamed since the DS/Wii era and who got Switches specifically because they could play in short bursts away from the TV, or easily take it to friends' houses to play party games, or play during plane/train/bus journeys.

While I am sure that there is a market for a screen-less Switch to keep under the TV, it is likely very small and is probably not worth the effort of creating an entirely new product that completely breaks away from the Switch's branding and immediately recognisable form factor in Nintendo's eyes. If they make another box to stick in an entertainment unit, they will be once again directly competing (and being compared to) with PlayStation/Xbox, which is probably the last thing they want; the hybrid system, on the other hand, makes it so they do not have any serious competitors who offer a similar product. It's an easy slam-dunk.

Collusion. All there is to it.

@Vil sony:Hold My Beer.

@UltimateOtaku91 you do realize switch 2 power is much closer to the ps5 according to alot of gaming experts nintendo isnt playing around with their next gen hybrid consoles especially with all these big 3rd party titles we saw on switch 2 direct.

Sony helping Nintendo sell a few more Switch 2 units with this move.

@Anti-Matter Meanwhile, I still have low hype with Switch 2 after I found a lot of disappointing stuffs from them. Even Switch 2 have almost like PS4 PRO power, but I still prefer getting 3rd party kids games on PS5 for my favorite Blue color game box, more power to keep the games get stable 60 fps and faster loading time.
It's no wonder you have disdain for anything Switch now. The fact you clinge onto falsehood and put down the Switch 2 even when it's show it's on par with PS5 levels is pretty sad. The tech in Switch 2 is up to levels of PS5 so that scares you alot a Switch 2 could get high tech to match PS5 levels. If it let's you sleep by pushing down switch 2 then that's your flavor of the day even thought PS4 is dated tech now. As another poster said they now see the real side. PS4 released on on November 15, 2013 that is already dated tech.

I felt like the price of the Switch 2 console seemed quite fair. While I would have loved for it to be $399 US to really hit mass appeal, it seems like a reasonable price. Given the news of Sony raising its console prices, it makes the S2 cost look all that much more appealing imo.

@dew12333 GTA 6 will very likely be at least $100. Something had to give: games can’t just grow more wildly ambitious and beautiful without an expected counter force to still make the bottom line. It’s the number one dilemma with modern AAA production

@Antraxx777 All the cost for sticking hairs up nostrils, waste of money. We didn't have this problem in the good ol days.

I don't want the increases really, but I almost expected it with how things are.

The ridiculously expensive Switch 2 games doesn't mitigate how the system is "cheaper" than the PS5 now.

@AllBLK It’s only a matter of time before Sony and Microsoft announce $80 games.

I own a PS5 and a Switch, as do lots of my friends. Switch 2 pre-ordered. I don't really see these 2 systems in competition...

Switch 2 may now be marginally cheaper than the PS5, but PS games are so much cheaper, this offsets it.

I want to buy Super Mario 3D World as used to have it on my Wii U 12 YEARS ago, but Nintendo still want to charge £50. Nintendo will always be more expensive once you factor in game prices...

I get the comparison given the price and that they both play games, but when I hear people lamenting that the Switch 2 isn’t as powerful as a PS5 I imagine them walking around with a PS5, large battery and monitor bolted onto a hand cart for play on the go. 😂

And before you come back at me with the ways you can technically play PS5 games on the go with less kit where its more like a streaming service so let’s be honest, it’s not the same thing and requires more cash to do so, connectivity etc.

Steam deck comparisons are more on point given the form factor and use cases, but the PS5 is a bit of a stretch when you consider portability.

Not sure why this is a news item on a Nintendo website. Trying to take some heat off of them, I suppose.

I think after the two ps5 price increases the amount I paid for my original ps5 about 6-9months after launch is now the same as the digital version.

@Koxen I thought the same thing when I read it.

They days of console prices going down is long gone. Sad stuff to see.

@Antraxx777 I agree. I also look forward to seeing Nintendo fanboys try to bash both companies when they accepted Nintendo doing it.

@OldGamer999 I agree completely!

It really sucks having to buy a high end handheld when you only want to play on your TV…

And then there’s the horrible game format too that comes with a handheld device. Expensive SD cards that won’t even be able to fit all games…

Not surprised. Sony will start charging $80 for their 1st party games in due time.

@AllBLK It's only Mario Kart World that's $80 and even so the digital version is still $70, Kirby Air Riders, DK Bananza, and that wheelchair game are all under $70. All the Switch 2 upgrade of Switch 1 games are only $10 if you already own the Switch 1 version of that game.

@Oracles_fanboi The cost for Playstation's basic online is over 3x the price of Nintendo's standard.

Outside Mario Kart World the game prices are not actually higher. Dunno why you're trying scam people on behalf of Sony, but nobody is saving money buying a PS5 over a Switch 2.

This seems to be Sony's next stage in their plan for killing off physical games. Make the digital PS5 the same price as the disc PS5 bundle + Astro Bot so people buy the disc bundle instead. Then when the disc PS5 bundle runs out of stock, they don't restock leaving just the price hiked digital PS5.

Between this and Nintendo's "Key Card" nonsense for Switch 2, the future of physical is very grim.

@Princess_Lilly I bought a ps5 digital. I have no need for discs. I only got one for my back catalog, ability to use a portal. What games are being released that I need to own a disc of? Why can’t there be
An option for people like me who are fine with owning games digital. My steam library has been digital for years, but I can still play almost every game I’ve ever owned(20+ years), on my steamdeck, or my pc. If anything, consoles need to get with the times.
And this from someone who buys all his music on apple, then burns copies onto cd still, since I still have multiple cd players I use. I used to buy and trade games and treat physical games like rentals. But now there isn’t a new game coming out each week, and most games need massive downloads no matter how much is on the disc.

For most people, "but look, EVERYTHING is too expensive!" isn't exactly good news.

@Donutman I'm not saying people like you should not have an option. I'm saying companies should not use such underhanded tactics as selling two versions of console, one with inflated price and one without a core component. That way they present their product as more valuable by comparison.

I'm saying you should have been able to buy PS5 priced like PS5D

@TheBlueCatMenace that’s one way to look at it. The other way is they were haemorrhaging money and couldn’t wait any longer… many people seem to forget that everything is going up in price for a reason lol

@BenAV my theory would be they were purposely waiting to see what price ninty were coming in at? Like is it a coincidence it comes in at the same price as the MK bundle? Maybe… not sure

@electrolite77 it’s greed. This is the first console generation ever that consoles went up. People are greedy in 2025. That doesn’t mean it costs more to make.

Doesn’t really matter anyways since Xbox and PlayStation have been selling consoles now for five years. Those that wanted one have one.

@Grumblevolcano I'm gonna defend this right and there : if key game cards did not exist, you would see a lot of third party games go fully digital on switch 2. They don't want to optimize and / or the price of Switch 2 cartridges are too expansive.

@Ulysses that’s why I used the word currently.

But yeah, we’ll see how the world has changed in 5 years. Hopefully for the better…

i can understand if sony went to 80 dollars for first party games i mean quite a few sony games cost over 200 million to make god of war ragnarok horizon forbidden west spiderman 2 the last of us part 2 future games wolverine and spiderman 3 will cost over 300 million to make just a guess show much you think mario kart for switch 2 cost to make?

Been on the fence about getting a PS5 for the last 5 years lol. Really the only exclusives i want to play are FF15, FF7 Part 2, Spider Man 2 and Ratchet and Clank. Most other games i've wanted i can either get on my Series S or still get on PS4 or Switch. If FF15 and 7 Part 2 make it to other consoles i'll have even less reason to buy one.

This move pushes me more towards either the Switch 2 or getting a second hand first gen PS5. That price point just isn't worth it.

Also remember when console revisions lowered the price instead of raising it? They were good times.

What I don’t understand is where to even find most of the physical games, like cyberpunk 2077. It will be released physically in 7 weeks. Where is it i can’t find the product in any store. Neither Hitman or any other games besides the few we keep seeing…

@electrolite77 every year gas and wages go up. Yet prices fell. You have to solely lean on semiconductors as your argument. Tv prices continue to fall. Other electronics have gotten cheaper. I’m confused why these electronics are the outlier.

I’d also like to hear about these wages were talking about when discussing china electric company factory workers. Not too long ago apple employees were committing suicide at work. Am I to believe that the Nintendo factory is paying a respectable wage at the assembly factory?

I remember when console prices went down after 4 years on the market, or at least had gone down since launch.

Outside of Astrobot, I'm not sure if there's even a game I'd want on PS5 that isn't on PS4, Switch or PC.

Actually, the only PlayStation games I've been interested is are the Sony Japan Studios ones that have been appearing on the Switch.. I'm was sightly disappointed that Gravity Rush didn't appear on Switch 2..

@StAmbrosius Would be hilarious if EA is still using the last gen versions of their sports games on Switch 2...surely they won't be that stupid/cheap...

@mr12calvin I wouldn't worry just yet. If launch game preorders aren't up by the 2nd week of May then there might be a problem.

Somebody at Sony forgot that when your biggest rival releases a new device you’re supposed to put your price down to spur competition, not up!

Where are the people, that were accusing Nintendo of being greedy with the pricing of the Switch 2 and its games? Say the same thing about Sony now, rats hahahaha.

@Edu23XWiiU Where are the people, that were accusing Nintendo of being greedy with the pricing of the Switch 2 and its games? Say the same thing about Sony now.
Same here where are they? China hit with 125% is outrageous and PS5 will rise in prices until Sony can diverse their manufacture to is less tariff heavy regions.

@kedireturns I'm not an expert but I still don't see how a raise in import tax when moving goods into the USA somehow makes it more expensive to sell a product in the UK. This is Sony offsetting against the weak Yen but also charging non-US buyers extra to make up the difference.

I'd be amazed if GTA6 didn't come to the Switch 2. GTA5 launched first on the Xbox 360 and looked great so they could do it. When there is launch parity with other platforms, Nintendo consoles seem to make up the lions share. Over 50% of Hogwarts players are on Switch.

The timing of this seems very strange given Sony had a digital Astro Bot bundle for £339 just a few weeks ago. I seems for once I timed it right - got the bundle with a discount code for £312 with the intention to pick up the drive add-on later - they've just dropped the price on that from £100 to £70 too, so I'll definitely be getting it sooner rather than later.

@kedireturns Nintendo will take a loss for every console sold now, since also the Yen has depreciated, and whole global inflation also comes as a factor. It's not greed, it's life. Is it greed that the vegan burger you surely buy, Karen, costs more than it did 8 years ago? See, you're already justifying Sony's actions hahaha, rats do act like that. Sony's game become cheaper quickly, because they don't sell well, and, they're already on second hand sales, less than a month after they release, whereas, Nintendo games ALWAYS do sell well, and that's why they keep the price. Wake up, Karen, life is hard.

@Jester676 well said, man!

@kedireturns Tells us where exactly it says it's 8nm that no one seems to know but you know how?

@Jester676 Looks like he's been banned...another of the "appear out of thin air to sow disdain" users that magically surfaced after the Switch 2 reveal. Dozens appeared.
