From CNET: Increasing prices across the board are becoming a plague now, fueled by everything from tariffs to wars to the AI industry's devouring of hardware components. Sony's PlayStation hardware is the latest to get an increase, according to a blog post from the company on Friday. It's the second such hike, in fact, after 2025's price bumps.
The price increases take effect on Thursday, April 2, so now's the time to get one of Sony's consoles before they go up. The increases are pretty significant:
PlayStation 5 Digital: Up $100 -- now $500, soon to be $600
PlayStation 5 with disc: Up $100 -- now $550, soon to be $650
PlayStation 5 Pro: Up $150 -- now $750, soon to be $900
PlayStation Portal: Up $50 -- now $200, soon to be $250
