hikes. I mean, did you see the news this week? Hey, if you were thinking about grabbing a PS5 after it appears that Sony is pulling back from the whole PC decision quickly, because the price of PS5s has just gone up again. Announced
by the PlayStation website, all current-gen PlayStation hardware is seeing a price increase of around 20%, give or take, effective April 2nd. So, watching this. The base PS5 will go from $550
followed by the digital edition bumped up from $500 to $600. The PlayStation Portal was previously $200, already a somewhat steep price, given that this controller with a screen in the middle. Anyway, it's going to be $250
now, a $50 price increase. And if all that buzz around the new PSVR tech was tempting you towards a PlayStation 5 Pro, well, what was once $750 will now set you back a whopping $900, which equates to roughly $1,400
reducers here in Australia. Absolutely insane. As for why this happened, Sony's VP of global marketing Isabelle Tomatoes had this to say, quote, "With continued landscape, we've made the decision to increase the price of PS5, PS5 Pro, and
globally. We know these price changes impact our community, and after careful necessary step to ensure we can continue delivering innovative, high-quality worldwide." End quote. I remind you that this is the second global price hike
from Sony in just the last year. You might recall back in August of 2025, Sony had increased the price of the PS5 Digital from $400 to $500. So yeah, in the US it now actually costs 50% more than it did just a year ago. And
Sony raised the price of some PS5 consoles and accessories in all other countries. For example, raising the cost of that same Digital Edition console of that same Digital Edition console from $680 to $750 here in Australia, now

Ocarina of Time and their childhood was spent playing Steel a Brain Rod, I'm civilization. So, I do hope these price increases are just a memory blip owing now. But to be perfectly honest with you, I suspect the price shift we're
permanent. And I think that console manufacturers are going to face a bit of keep this hobby accessible, especially to the kids. While Sony is raising the price of hardware, Nintendo is lowering the price of their software, sort of.
"Beginning in May 2026 and starting with pre-orders for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, new Nintendo published digital titles exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 price that is different from the physical versions. Nintendo games offer

strategy. I just mean the campaign said aloud the device-agnostic future that generation building. So, if Asa is not happy with that, then I think there's the way Xbox builds and promotes its platform. In other news, Xbox announced
via Twitter that the next Xbox Showcase has been locked in for the 7th of June getting an extended direct featuring a deep dive into Gears of War E-Day. About reveal trailer, and we've heard absolutely nothing about it since. Keen
