New PS5 leak doesn’t tell us what we want to know
- Sony has yet to announce the price and release date of the PS5 or the PS5 Digital Edition, but a new leak on Friday revealed what will come in the box of each console.
- There weren't really any surprises in the leak. Both consoles will ship with a controller, a power cord, a USB cable, an HDMI cable, a base, and an instruction manual.
- Rumors suggest that Sony will price the PS5 at $499 and the PS5 Digital Edition at $399.
After Microsoft opened the floodgates early this week with the prices, specifications, and release and preorder dates of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, speculation surrounding the PS5 reached a fever pitch. Would Sony be able to match the $299 price tag of the Series S? Would Sony feel pressured to make an announcement this week? Would Sony's first-party game selection be enough to convince gamers to spend $400 or more on a new console? By Friday evening, only one of these questions had been answered, as Sony stayed silent.
In fact, by Friday morning, it seemed clear that any major PS5 news was being reserved for next week at the earliest, but just as hope began to slip away, a leak started making the rounds. An underwhelming leak.
