Update: October 19, 2020 (3:00 AM ET): Sony has announced the India prices for the PlayStation 5. We’ve updated the original article below with the latest information.

Original article: PlayStation 5 pricing has now been officially confirmed by Sony. Pre-orders have also started for the long-awaited next-generation console, in both of its editions. So what is the PS5 price, and how can you pre-order one before the official launch date?

In this article, we will go over the price of the console, and how you might be able to pay for one before it launches (if you are vigilant, and more than a little lucky).

PS5 price for both editions

The PS5 price for the standard edition (the one with a disc drive) will be $499.99 in the US. The PS5 price for the digital edition (the one without a disc drive) will be $399.99 in the US. Folks up in Canada will pay $629 CAD for the standard edition and $499 CAD for the digital edition.

In Europe, pricing is about the same at €499 for the standard edition and €399 for the digital edition. In the UK, the PS5 price will be £449 and £359, respectively. Finally, in Japan, the price will be ¥49,980 for the standard edition, and ¥39,980 for the digital edition.

In India. the PS5 with a disc drive will come in at Rs. 49,990 whereas the digital edition will cost Rs. 39,990. Sony hasn’t announced a release or pre-order date in the country yet.

PS5 price for DualSense Wireless Controller

The new DualSense Wireless Controller made just for the PS5 has a price of $69.99. In India, the controller will cost Rs. 5,990.

PS5 pre-order information

The first PS5 pre-orders went live on September 17. However, spammers, and likely some bots, quickly bought up the first batches of pre-orders for the consoles. They went so fast, Sony posted a brief note on the official PlayStation Twitter account admitting that the process “could have been a lot smoother.” It added that it will release more PS5 consoles for pre-order soon and that the console’s main retailers will issue alerts when they will become available.

Where can I pre-order a PS5?

If you see a site claiming that they’re taking pre-orders right for the PS5, it’s probably a scam. Stick with reputable large brands that you know when it comes to pre-ordering something as large as the newest PlayStation console. Some of the reputable stores you should look at for pre-orders once they are available again include Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and GameStop

All of these retailers are already set up to take online pre-orders. You can sign up for e-mail updates with your favorite stores so you can be one of the first to know when pre-orders go live once again.

What PS5 pre-order bundles or deals does Sony have?

At the moment, there’s no word on what PS5 pre-order bundles (consoles with games included) will be available. The most likely games that could be a part of a PS5 pre-order bundle include:

  • Call of Duty
  • FIFA 21
  • Spider-Man: Miles Morales
  • Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Both Xbox and Nintendo have previously moved to digital codes for games included in console bundles. We’re hoping that Sony continues to provide physical copies of bundled games because it adds to their resale value, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

If I pre-order a PS5, when do I have to pay?

Large retailers like Target, BestBuy, etc. will likely require a deposit to secure your PS5 pre-order when they start up again. The deposit for the PS5 should range anywhere from $50-100. This deposit should go towards the cost of your PS5, and you’ll just have to pay the remainder when you pick it up.

Or, if you order it online to be shipped to you, your card will likely just be charged the full amount when the console ships out to you.

What games will launch with the PS5 console?

Sony has announced that will be launching alongside the PS5 console. Some will be available on the launch date, and others will be released in the weeks after launch (also known as the “launch window”).

Here are a few of the new games that currently are targeting a launch time period for the PS5.

  • Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
  • Astro’s Playroom (included with console)
  • Demon’s Souls
  • Destruction All Stars
  • Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition (Digital)
  • Godfall
  • Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
  • Observer: System Redux
  • Sackboy: A Big Adventure

This does not include any of the PS4 games that we’re hoping will be playable on the PS5 at launch. If you want to know which PS4 games you’ll be able to play on the PS5, check out our article on backwards compatibility on the PS5 here.

PS5 release date

Sony has now confirmed that the PS5, both in its standard and digital versions, will launch on November 12 in seven countries (US, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea). The rest of the world will have to wait a week later. Both PS5 consoles will launch everywhere else on November 19.

5 best dialer apps and contacts apps for Android

By
Update: This list currently has Drupe as an entrant. It is a really good contacts and dialer app. However, recent security vulnerabilities are causing a big fuss about the app . The security vulnerabilities are gone now. Thus, we’re reinstating the app to our list with a word of caution to our readers. Hit the link to learn more. Dialer apps and contacts apps are a bit of a niche market. In most cases, the stock dialer and contacts app is more than good enough most of the time. However, there are some cases where it may be necessary. The Note 8 occasionally freezing while using the contacts app is a good example. In any case, there are a bunch of decent options, but only a few really good ones. Also, we considered doing separate lists for contacts apps and dialer apps. However, generally speaking, if you get one, you get the other too. Both lists would pretty much have the same apps. Thus, we’ve consolidated it into a single list here. Here are the best dialer apps and contacts a

Huawei Watch Fit hands on: The skinny Apple Watch

By
The Huawei Watch Fit looks like what you’d get if you threw a Huawei Band 4 Pro and a Huawei Watch GT 2 into an Apple Watch blender. It’s arguably a more fashion-forward wearable than a traditional fitness tracker or standard smartwatch, but it still packs enough smarts to fit in the “Huawei Watch” line rather than the “Huawei Band” family. Let’s take a closer look. Read more: The best fitness trackers Huawei Watch Fit design Credit: Kris Carlon / Android Authority The Huawei Watch Fit will instantly appeal to those who like Huawei’s smartwatch offerings but aren’t into the bulkiness of them. I’m a fan of a chunky watch personally, but the diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. Beyond the eye-catching Cantaloupe Orange you see here, the Watch Fit also comes in Sakura Pink, Graphite Black, and Mint Green. The diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. I’m less enamored by the unoriginal styling. It may lack creativity but will

Here’s a sneak peek at the design of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition

By
Credit: OnePlus New teasers of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition hint at the phone’s design. They show a large, horizontally placed rectangular camera housing. There’s also plenty of Cyberpunk branding on the back panel of the phone. OnePlus has announced the launch date and time for the Cyberpunk 2077 themed OnePlus 8T . The phone will be revealed in full on November 2 at 2 PM local time in China (2 AM ET). But that’s not all OnePlus has given us. The company has also posted a teaser image of the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition on Weibo , giving us a hint of what to expect from its design. The image shows the back of the phone, but it’s too dark to really tell anything. We popped the photo in an image editor, and after tweaking its brightness and contrast a bit, saw what the back panel design could look like.
