- Sony has not announced the PS5 price and release date, but availability details are probably imminent considering Microsoft’s recent moves.

- GameStop is already looking at ways to make the PS5 and new Xbox consoles seem more affordable by offering buyers several installment plans options.
Contrary to popular belief, Microsoft was first to announce the price and launch date for its Xbox Series X and Series S consoles. Microsoft confirmed the Series S will cost $299, and the Series X will be priced at $499. Both consoles will be available to order online on September 22nd, and ship to consumers on November 10th. Gamers are now waiting for Sony to make its own move. It’ll be interesting to see whether Sony can afford to sell the regular PS5 for less than the Xbox Series X. $500 is still a great price to pay for a gaming computer.

That $299 entry price for the Series S might be too expensive for some buyers who might be dealing with more pressing matters right now.
