Are they gonna raise the PS5 pro price to $800?

Are they gonna raise the PS5 pro price to $800?

I dunno

Who cares? I'm sure they'll increase your welfare check to afford it.

999.99$

They can increase the price to whatever they want, it still has no games.

buy a PC nigger

Sony is raising the price everywhere to try to offset the costs and protect the amerifats that caused this problem to begin with

use linux retard god damn who wants this "I am a gigantic faggot please fuck my whore girlfriend" consolenigger shit
get the fuck off arma reforger you daft cunts
all I hear from your mic is heavy breathing and tap tap tap as you struggle to stop the operator strafing the squad

Well if they wanted to use the old strat they did on the Sega Saturn, they could definitely get an edge over Microsoft.
Microsoft is fucking up hardcore.

save us Valve

Wowza what a steal!

Ooooohhhh I rike a da Praystation

No they're not. The only thing they're raising is the Plus sub cost because now they're adding in more old PS1/PS2 games, Playstation Core and now this month i got an email that I get a free preimum month trial of webtoons, which is a service that offers comics and manga.
I have no problem paying $18 a month for the amount of content I get.
And before you zoomers want to get uppity with me, I used to be an arcade rat. $18 a month ain't shit.

You'll pay $800 for this. Now let that sink in.

There are low IQ retards on this board that will argue that these price hikes have nothing to do with tariffs and that the margins these companies had were so great on hardware they verifiably sold at a loss that they can eat the additional cost no problem

Are Trump sycophants the biggest, most financially illiterate morons on the planet?

You're being overly dramatic for no reason.

You don't even know what a tariff was until the news started talking about them.
Everything has gone up in price while Biden was in office and not once did I see you leftists saying a damn word about it.
Also the tariff war is mainly focused at China and their own country is imploding from the inside because people are demanding their leader to be overthrown.
Prices of digital goods isn't going up because of Tariffs, it's because Nintendo knows they can get away with it.

Imagine PS6 price

all of Anon Babble bitching about $450 for switch 2

then ps6 launches at $700 for the no-disc model

NTA but Switch 2 is basically what Microsoft and Sony's machines were showing off fucking 15 years ago.

muh system specs

muh grafix

your $600 system specs grafix just got raped and gaped by a $300 tablet

Bot tier post

You don't even know what a tariff was until the news started talking about them.

I did because I'm not a fucking moron. Keep projecting, retard.

Everything has gone up in price while Biden was in office

You're completely deluded. Trump claimed that he would bring down prices DAY ONE. He was BRAGGING about the economy while Biden was still in office and claimed it as his own and has now turned around and calls it the Biden economy after his monumental fuck ups. I have a honest question. How are you even able to write this post with both of your hands wrapped around Trump's greasy cock? Does he give you some time off occasionally so you can glaze him online or do you use speech to text?

Kill yourself, dipshit.

Also the tariff war is mainly focused at China

Nigga, Trump tariffed the entire planet. Even places that don't even have a population. Stop being stupid.

We're not talking about just graphics. I'm someone who isn't too worried about that kind of shit.
What I'm pointing out is Nintendo acting like they're doing some big reveal that their console can run decently what tech has already achieved decades ago on another portable device known as a laptop.
Specifically a laptop.
Nintendo is just wanting to bleed their hardcore audience dry. They also know content creators are making more money from their games than even they are.
You ASSUME because it's about the tariffs but the price increase is GLOBALLY. Not just America.
Think about that kid. I mean actually think about it.

J-just a coincidence ok

What part of "mainly" did you not get? God damn you kids are morons. You're on a website with text and you can't even read.

I did because I'm not a fucking moron.

This is debatable because then you said..

You're completely deluded. Trump claimed that he would bring down prices DAY ONE. He was BRAGGING about the economy while Biden was still in office and claimed it as his own and has now turned around and calls it the Biden economy after his monumental fuck ups. I have a honest question. How are you even able to write this post with both of your hands wrapped around Trump's greasy cock? Does he give you some time off occasionally so you can glaze him online or do you use speech to text?

This was all before we knew China was helping out Russia. Or did you forget that?

No! they're gonna raise it to $900!

So what? Sony also promoted their PS5 Pro pisser as if DLSS wasn't already a thing

They are. Especially since they're ignoring his doll and pencil rhetoric.

Maybe you should just buy less video games it's what papa trump wants afterall! :^)

So what?

Are you just being obnoxious on purpose or did you decide not to think?

The purchasing power of the dollar in 2020 has increased over the years. For example, $1 in 2020 is equivalent to about $1.22 today.
The value of the dollar decrease while Biden was in office because democrats like wasting money and not understanding the more debt our country gets into, the more expensive shit will be.
But no by all means, we shouldn't be trying to lower things back down by having tariffs nor not having the highest ones after a country that's helping our own longest enemies.
You're a moron.

What part of "mainly" did you not get?

The part where the tariffs apply to the entire planet, retard. Even its allied trade partners. It even applies to countries with which the US has had a trade surplus, like Australia.

You realize words have meaning, right? Just because you want to conjure up this image that Trump is doing this "mainly" against China doesn't mean that the tariffs bear out this way.

This was all before we knew China was helping out Russia. Or did you forget that?

Yes, China is helping out Russia with keeping up local egg prices. Excellent analysis, retard. Also, what the fuck does China have to do with the stock market, that he doesn't want to take credit for, tanking in direct response to HIS policy but when Biden was in office he claims that the performance of the stock market is actually a response to his polling. You're sad deluded subhuman garbage and you have no idea what you're talking about.

The part where the tariffs apply to the entire planet, retard

You do know other countries have tariffs too right?
or are you just stupid?

So will you be working in the sweatshops making those dolls and pencils for 200 dollars a year?

No, because we have machines in this country doing that shit.
You goofy bitch.

lmao no we don't and we never will

We don't have machines that make stuff

Kid, go outside, jesus christ

I hope so, it will kill the console market, which is undoubtedly great.
It's been for too long of a blight to the gaming scene.

Name these factories bro.

Maple Landmark
Musgrave Pencil Co
And thanks to 3D printers, plenty of Etsy sellers have produced their own stuff. Even people hand made handstiched goods from mittens to plushes.
This will be a good thing for Americans to have their own business thriving within our own country.

Nonsense. I hate to break it to you but gaming becoming just on PC would not be a good idea from a business standpoint.

They will cuz of tariffs, and PS5 is made in China.

MUH NIP

no, only smallest volume. It can't meet the worldwide demand. Only chink can do it.

They're eventually going to raise the price of the hardware in the US too. Though yeah, right now they're just raising it in other regions to try to offset it.

They will cuz of tariffs

Nintendo has raised the price globally. It has nothing to do with tariffs.

you guys just complain

Congrats on your first epiphany.
First day on Anon Babble?

trumptards assured me digital goods would not be tariffed but they're already looking to tariff movies

You can't tariff non physical things you absolute dumb fuck
You don't know what a tariff is, do you?

They already are looking to tariff movies though

ps5 pro is already a grand where I live lol. For that money I'll just buy a great future GPU, their games come to PC anyways

First day on Anon Babble?

unironically started thinking about this when Anon Babble was down. Anon Babble is filled with irrelevant whining from irrelevant anons.

I legit can't tell if you're actually stupid and don't know what a tariff is. Or you're trolling not realizing your generation is legit stupid and you have already convinced me you're retarded since I know you think a man can be a woman.
So if you are trying to be convincing that you're stupid, congrats, I actually think you're a complete moron.
Now what?

Only 800$?
I'd bet they go for 900 or even 1000 dollars, and obviously they'll increase the price in the rest of the world because fuck you.

But no by all means, we shouldn't be trying to lower things back down by having tariffs

How the fuck are tariffs going to increase your purchasing power? You don't have any local manufacturing for the goods your retarded country is tariffing.
Even if you manage to set up that local manufacturing capacity in the future it would go directly against Trump's assertion that the US can finance itself without standard taxes but solely through tariffs. Tariffs only raise money for the federal budget if there is trade. If the US becomes an autarky, then it won't need to import goods from other countries. No imports, no tariffs, no money to replace taxes with.

You do know other countries have tariffs too right?

Name one country that has imposed comparable tariffs on their allies and enemies alike. One. You delusional subhuman monkey.

This thing was already a meme, just quietly discontinue it in favor of ps5 original

I recently received a huge windfall after being poor for years, and I was looking at buying a PS5 as my single extravagant purchase for myself, I near shit myself when I saw them asking almost $1000 maplebux for a PS5 Pro with 1 controller and no games. Completely shameless. I hate video games.

I mean that's what happens when idiots have internet access. It's like that wherever you go. You must not have been to the other boards yet.
Zoomers are just brain dead and they say shit and it's anonymous so there's a sense of freedom and boldness to say whatever dumb comment.
But I also think it's potentially educational for them. They can be wrong and if they're proven wrong or taught something they don't have to face the embaressment of that. They can learn and adjust themselves.
But there's also the problem of autistic people on here that become obsessive and they'll say things that they can't handle the backlash on and never will change.
So it's a constant state of swinging between actual discussion and manchildren who didn't have a father figure that fucked them up and they're still in that teenager angry mindset.

You're retarded. Legit braindead mental midget.

How the fuck are tariffs going to increase your purchasing power?

Because when we make things expensive to other people, that brings chances of other outlets to become a thing.
Think about it. If you were importing water guns from another country. But someone were to make it harder to obtain those water guns. That brings business to form within your own country to provide not only a competitive product but also a superior cheaper option.
That business will then support it's own country and can thrive.
Now apply that to other things. That gives us back our own jobs and careers. American business owners fucked us over when they started wanting other countries to do jobs for them which shrunk our own chances of job chances and empowered those foriegn countries.
Trump wants to take back that power because major business importing jobs when it should be their own people is a big problem and something a lot of people your age don't seem to realize.
Rich people ALWAYS want cheaper options. Trump wants to rattle that because he knows with AI and machines taking even the most basic of jobs, Americans WILL BE FACING MAJOR JOB LOSSES.
We need to adjust this because we don't and AI and machines start flipping the burgers, answering the calls and anything else a human can do. That will cause major problems to the work force.
Car manufactors can easily replace everyone with machines now. But they haven't because they have a some sense of morality in them. They know they can kick out all their assemblers.

It's like that wherever you go.

it's mainly Anon Babble though. Anon Babble going down showed how devoid of substance this board is. just bitter guys who don't play games posting the same doomer memes over and over.

rich people always say they aren't going to do something shitty and then the second they get into a position of power they do exactly what they said they wouldn't do.
repeat ad infinitum until people get pissed off anough and grab pitchforks and then the cycle repeats itself over another century.

$18 a month

Lmao consolecucks are getting fleeced

Well I'm not a broke nigger like you and I actually like to support the things I enjoy.

Think about it. If you were importing water guns from another country. But someone were to make it harder to obtain those water guns. That brings business to form within your own country to provide not only a competitive product but also a superior cheaper option.

That business will then support it's own country and can thrive.

Yes, you describe an autarky. It's a retarded system. Every country on this planet that tries it becomes a shithole because being forced to become proficient in every manufacturing step required to produce a product is extremely inefficient and expensive.

Now apply that to other things. That gives us back our own jobs and careers.

Which jobs? Producing shirts in a sweatshop for 5 bucks a day? You realize that if these goods are made in the US they're not going to be cheaper than the Chinese imports used to be, right? The average American isn't willing to work under these conditions and live below the poverty line just so other Americans can buy that shit for cheap.

Trump wants to take back that power because major business importing jobs when it should be their own people is a big problem and something a lot of people your age don't seem to realize.

You meant exporting jobs, right? Imported jobs have nothing to do with tariffs. There you'd be talking about work visas which is a different topic entirely.

Rich people ALWAYS want cheaper options. Trump wants to rattle that because he knows with AI and machines taking even the most basic of jobs, Americans WILL BE FACING MAJOR JOB LOSSES.

So the solution to automation caused by unemployment is to get back jobs that will be automated by AI. Fucking genius.

Also, did you even read the rest of my post? Trump is talking about moving America to a system that doesn't require standard taxation. If America becomes an autarky, then it can't raise money through tariffs. Tariffs are only deducted from your income when you buy foreign-made products. This is retarded.

This is nonsense. Trump is trying to restructure and fix the damage Biden and his cackling demon fucked up on.

Also the tariff war is mainly focused at China and their own country is imploding from the inside because people are demanding their leader to be overthrown.

Lmao miggers really are the ultimate good goyim

How on Earth did you manage to completely miss the point to everything what I said?
How is that even possible?

I have literally thousands of legitimate pc games

I said nothing incorrect
Tariffs to China is the highest.
People are demanding Xi Jinping to be overthrown. Which is bold of them since China doesn't exactly tolerate protests or defiance.

Eventually. They raised it in Europe and elsewhere for the time being in order to not touch the US prices, but that will not last long. Probably until they run out of already imported stock.
In the meantime, they will enjoy all the good publicity from Xbox asking more money for a Series S than it costs to get a Digital only PS5.

And you probably haven't played a good chunk of them.

You're an illiterate moron and haven't engaged with a single point I made. The FIRST thing you should have reconciled is that Trump has actively contradicted himself in what his strategy is with these tariffs. You have to pick ONE.

1. bring back manufacturing
2. negotiation tactic
3. zero taxation

You can't have all three. If it's just a negotiation tactic and the tariffs will be removed once other countries agreed to Trump's demands, then manufacturing will stay where it is.
If it's to bring back manufacturing, then Trump can't move to a zero taxation system because tariffs can only raise money if there is a sufficient amount of money spent on tariffed imports.
(also, as a side note, replacing taxation with tariffs is essentially a form of regressive taxation because it affects less wealthy people more as a percentage of their paycheck compared to rich people)
If it's to move America to a zero taxation system, then it CAN'T bring back manufacturing because the tax system has now been essentially replaced by money people spend on foreign imports. No foreign imports, no money.

If you can't reconcile any of the shit I just wrote it's not worth talking to you. You're too far gone and need to get treated for whatever condition fucked up your brain.

His strategy changed when China started helping Russia.
I stated this earlier.
1. bring back manufacturing
2. negotiation tactic
3. zero taxation
He's done the first two I don't know what you mean by the third point so I can't comment on it.

You can't have all three. If it's just a negotiation tactic and the tariffs will be removed once other countries agreed to Trump's demands, then manufacturing will stay where it is.

You're forgetting Trump CAN'T CANCEL BUSINESS IF IT ISN'T AGAINST THE LAW. He can however make hiring outside the country harder and make outside business decisions more unappealing. He's doing that on purpose for your stupid ass.

(also, as a side note, replacing taxation with tariffs is essentially a form of regressive taxation because it affects less wealthy people more as a percentage of their paycheck compared to rich people)

It's not about hitting the rich people in the wallet, it's about making Americans more appealing to hire. That's the point.

You're far too gone.

Says the leftist who can't seem to understand how fucked the job system has become.

shut up mutt
ps already increased prices, TWICE (and they did it before nintendo announced their console btw), to offset the cost of the consoles that MUTTS should pay (more than double btw)
ps plus increase also inbound

now they're adding in more old PS1/PS2 games

that's was the plan all along you idiot, ps3 had hundreds of ps1/ps2 classics in the store, as licenses expire they pull them from the ps3 store and update them (throphies, US/PAL region mode etc) to run on their new emulator (they contract a third party for that) but the underlaying reason for subscription price increases is the same of xbox: it's not growing as fast as they want, xbox also had to increase the price of their goypass for the aforementioned reason

with xbox they had absolutely no way to avoid increasing the price in the US because most of their consoles are manufactured in china so no way to avoid the tariffs
sony has stockpiled consoles and aside from china manufacturing they also have japanese factories
xbox is pretty much dead in the US btw, it's playstation/nintendo territory so the goyim will purchase a 5 year old console that went UP in price, not down (ps3 from $600 to $200 and gorillions of games at the end of the gen)
sony will eventually pull the trigger on US prices and $80 games, until they don't do it the goyim will give the benefit of doubt and think the Snoy is pro-consumer golem or something
nigger

correction

xbox is pretty much dead in the US btw

meant to say dead in europe, US is their primary market obviously

shut up mutt

Calling an American a mutt

Uh, okay? Guilty?

His strategy changed when China started helping Russia.

No, his strategy doesn't change because he doesn't have one. His sycophants will just project whatever the fuck is convenient given the argument they're having at the moment.

He's done the first two I don't know what you mean by the third point so I can't comment on it.

He hasn't done dick, you fucking moron. Manufacturing isn't coming back to America. He just keeps lying about these billion dollar investments and shit that was already planned before he took office.

You're forgetting Trump CAN'T CANCEL BUSINESS IF IT ISN'T AGAINST THE LAW. He can however make hiring outside the country harder and make outside business decisions more unappealing. He's doing that on purpose for your stupid ass.

So he's contradicting himself. You're reiterating an incentive structure for an AUTARKY which is diametrically opposed to a zero taxation system financed by tariffs.

It's not about hitting the rich people in the wallet, it's about making Americans more appealing to hire. That's the point.

No, it's clearly about hitting poor people in the wallet. Because that's what regressive taxation is going to accomplish, dipshit.

Says the leftist who can't seem to understand how fucked the job system has become.

As I said. You're too far gone. Nothing I said has anything to do with my political ideology. It's an internal critique. Even if I was an ardent isolationist, I would recognize that Trump is a low IQ retard who keeps contradicting himself by the hour.

How is being a mutt a bad thing?

I'm sowwy *sniffle sniffle*
I didn't say that it's a bad thing, as a EUgolem myself I'm under mutts as far as the golem hierarchy goes
god bless anon
