299 dollars -possibly 249 Uk pounds.
Could be fun -even in later years in term of playing consoles.

    Its been confirmed the UK price will be £249.
    Its a decent price for a next gen console, don't think I'm ready for a digital console, Ive got alot of games on disc that will cost me to buy digital copies.

    Maybe,  I had thought it was going to push to 4K- seems 1440/1080 are max for S Series.
    It's the Digi only - no more plastic boxes is my fav feature.

    No more loading times
    If you pre order a game and it could be installed when you get home from work.
    You can install games via the app on your phone.
    Plus others
    I see the positives but Id rather stick with a disc drived based system so Im tempted by the Series X, Im anticipating the X will be £450.

    Enjoy x Series -I thought it was 499 earlier.
    I could get X for genuine 4K -though maybe next time once I upgrade 2015 Sony 4K Non hdr to hdr.
    Want to save a few pounds from help2save.

    Yes it could be closer to £499 after what I've just read but we will see.

    Yes have just seen the price for the X and pre orders start the 21st.
    I can see myself buying the X but maybe not pre order it, I might wait to get one, Ive got alot of credit for Game to use so planing on using it on an X.

    S series is lower quality- that's why I'm hoping Sony offer ps5 digi with reasonable cost.
    Though xbox seems to have decent launch titles.
    thanks

    I usually just wait until the price is reasonable thanks to price cuts. Digi only consoles  do not appeal at all. I lost faith in xbox when i got the ring of death, by then ps3 had picked up and I have stayed with ps ever since as it has better exclusives.
