In all likelihood, we will finally know the concrete price and launch date of the PS5 a few hours from now (or so we hope), with the PS5 Showcase going live later today. Before that, however, a retailer listing may have clued us into what to expect.
As spotted by AllGamesDelta on Twitter, Spanish retailer El Corte Inglés, which is one of the biggest retailers in Spain, might have listed the prices of the console. As per images of store’s internal database, two listings for unnamed consoles have gone up with prices of €499 and €399, most likely referring to the PS5 and its digital edition respectively.
Of course, given the fact that the consoles’ names aren’t mentioned, there’s no guarantees that this listing is accurate, while it’s also worth mentioning that these may very well be the placeholder prices. That said, most recent reports have said that $399 and $499 are the prices the PS5 will be launching for (and prices in dollars and euros generally line up).
Notably, another recent report by industry analyst Masahiro Wakasugi suggested that the PS5 might even be priced at $449. Read more on that through here.
Of course, this isn’t official by any means, so take this with a grain of salt for now. Hopefully, Sony will have announced the prices themselves later today, so stay tuned for that information.
