While Sony is increasing PS5 prices, the supply situation is still a problem in many markets. \u201cOur top priority continues to be improving the PS5 supply situation so that as many players as possible can experience everything that PS5 offers and what\u2019s still to come,\u201d says Ryan.<\/p>\n<p id=\"IUTniz\">Here are the new PS5 prices:<\/p>\n<p id=\"JW7hbJ\"><strong>Europe:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"VLJ1I0\">PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive \u2013 \u20ac549.99 (\u20ac499.99 before)<\/li>\n<li id=\"nd7R0l\">PS5 Digital Edition \u2013 \u20ac449.99 (\u20ac399.99 before)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"aNfSMf\"><strong>UK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"sRDH5R\">PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive \u2013 \u00a3479.99 (\u00a3449.99 before)<\/li>\n<li id=\"MMGKVP\">PS5 Digital Edition \u2013 \u00a3389.99 (\u00a3359.99 before)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"gwizAr\"><strong>Japan (effective Sept. 15, 2022):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"DWIuiE\">PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive \u2013 \u00a560,478 yen (\u00a549,980 before)<\/li>\n<li id=\"f7bhLM\">PS5 Digital Edition \u2013 \u00a549,478 yen (\u00a539,980 before)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"dojvn4\"><strong>China:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"D763Rl\">PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive \u2013 \u00a54,299 yuan (\u00a53,899 yuan before)<\/li>\n<li id=\"ChaVfr\">PS5 Digital Edition \u2013 \u00a53,499 yuan (\u00a53,099 yuan before)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"ySsvPC\"><strong>Australia:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"TkApoP\">PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive \u2013 AUD $799.95 (AUD $749.95 before)<\/li>\n<li id=\"pcrTdf\">PS5 Digital Edition \u2013 AUD $649.95 (AUD $599.95 before)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"T8D3WG\"><strong>Mexico:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"r5Og3t\">PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive \u2013 MXN $14,999 (MXN $13,999 before)<\/li>\n<li id=\"uhuRE0\">PS5 Digital Edition \u2013 MXN $12,499 (MXN $11,499 before)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"HrjxR0\"><strong>Canada:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"UIolRW\">PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive \u2013 CAD $649.99 ($629.99 before)<\/li>\n<li id=\"STdQXn\">PS5 Digital Edition \u2013 CAD $519.99 ($499.99 before)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/25\/23321301\/sony-ps5-price-increase-europe-uk-japan-china-australia-mexico-canada\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/25\/23321301\/sony-ps5-price-increase-europe-uk-japan-china-australia-mexico-canada<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Sony is increasing its PS5 prices in the UK, Europe, Japan, China, Australia, Mexico, and Canada.
