Previously, fans were surprised by rumors that the PS5 price would penetrate the price of Rp. 10 million. However, after the official announcement from Sony yesterday, fans immediately flooded the Playstation 5 pre-orders. Even Cnet reported that the pre-order website was down due to high incoming traffic.

For those of you who think this price is still too expensive, it looks like this time you can breathe a little easier. According to iPrice, the price of the PS5 can actually drop to a lower price than its release price on November 12. What do you think about the analysis? Check out the following review.

In November 2021 or 12 months since its official release, the price of the Playstation 5 will again decrease to Rp. 6.8 million for the standard version and Rp. 5.4 million for the digital version.
