Raising the prices in the US for tariff reasons sucks, but is understandable. Using that as an excuse to raise prices worldwide is just greedy.

it's subsidizing their primary market

if they did just do straight tariff price for the US, it'd be like $500+ for a Series S

this is also why PS5 rose prices outside of the US

Exactly and I highly doubt if tariffs go away they're just going to magically bring the prices down. Corporate America will use any reason they can to bleed us dry just a little more

They're probably also fearful of Trump so they're raising it for everyone, so he won't complain

Jesus Christ, so glad I decided to pull the trigger on upgrading last year

20% increase 5 years into the console generation. What a crazy time to live in

It was just a matter of time really. Gutted because the American people will be worse off for it.

Man I hope my PS5 doesn’t die

Me: I don't want an Xbox.

Microsoft: Well we don't want you to have one either
