Hope it's true but some of it seems too cheap, headset less than I'm expecting for onePeople who are upgrading from a PS4 will have one or more so wouldn't it make sense to reuse rather than spending £50+ on another Dualsense?

That's how it has always been though, where a new console comes out and the old stuff becomes obsolete. I guess it's why MS have gone down the route of making all the current accessories compatible with all consoles from here.
I'm personally expecting an extra 10% on all of those prices at launch, with it potentially dropping to those levels by the end of 2021.

Anything below £600 is acceptable for a console IMO. These things are essentially media centres with games already optimised for your machine that last for years, and I can stomach that more so than when I see mobile phones and GPU's now going for stupid money.
Yep I get that totally but for sony to shift extra controllers it makes no (dual)sense in marketing terms as they'll want to sell as much hardware/accessories as possible to offset the loss they will surely make on the console itself.
I think those prices are spot on as i still believe the console will be £349 and £449 respectively, the headset looks too cheap though although we don't know all the specs of it yet it might not be anything groundbreaking.
It's worth taking a look at Carrefour's website, as the pre-order section gives some quite nice pics (still looks ugly as hell and humungous mind) and videos.

Those prices look similar to the other "leaked" ones - but again, if they haven't come from Sony, they are nothing more than a guess.
£100 difference between the two makes sense, if it were being done on the cost of drive alone, it would be a what, £40 difference and nobody is buying the digital edition with that tiny saving.

I wonder if at some point Sony won't be forced to do something similar to GamePass.........in which case the digital version becomes a bargain!
I've seen a few people mention across other "non-gaming" forums that they're now looking at XSX because they can just get a GamePass sub and have a portfolio of games on day one, whereas with PS5 they will need to buy a load of games (that they may not want) just to have something to play on it - makes the Day1 outlay a lot more bearable!

It's not only that, with Xbox All Access you could have the brand new console with the Game Pass library and Xcloud for £35 a month or whatever it will be.
I'd love Sony to do something similar but I doubt they will as there first party exclusive games sell so well still.
According to ReviewTechUSA on youtube MCV carried out a survey and in that 84% of gamers planning on buying this generation of consoles are buying a PS5 because, why buy a XSX when you can play all those Game Pass games on your X1X or PC?
I agree with that sentiment entirely.
Nice page. I think it is growing on me. Still huge, though.
I'll be buying the PS5 for the exclusives, but currently, I'm expecting to get everything else on XSX (Whilst I hope it is true, I really don't buy the narrative around "you won't see the difference in power")........and whilst the PC is my prefered gaming platform, it's becoming more and more redundant for gaming with each new GFX card generation (and the price hike that goes with it).
Nobody is saying you won't see the difference, but the idea that the difference is going to be "night & day" is just madness.
I have never sat and run two consoles next to each other and for that reason, unless the difference is massive then I don't need to buy into "the most powerful console". What I am seeing on my screen and what an Xbox user is seeing on their screen, this doesn't effect me.
If What they were seeing was just so much better then I'd be thinking again - but I genuinely do not think that when you do start digging into 3rd party games there will be that much difference between the consoles.
I think you have the right idea, but I reckon for the Xbox multiplat part it made more sense with the One X vs the PS4 Pro, as in some cases the difference between 4K on the X and whatever they were doing on the Pro that was faux-4K was pretty large (eg RDR 2). I don't think that's going to be the case anymore though, as the power difference simply isn't large enough & they're all relying much more on temporal accumulation AAs so a lot of the difference is going to be washed out (unless pixel peeping). I guess we'll have to see how it goes, especially for ray tracing and what not, and for 120 fps modes.

Nope.
All I can find is "leaked" but dont trust that as a reliable source
Nothing officially from Sony. You can pretty much ignore everything else out there.
