PlayStation’s new console has an outrageous price tag

We feared it would be the case, but now we have confirmation. Sony’s newMarvel’s Spider-Man 2themed PlayStation 5 console boasts a very hefty price tag.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2is undoubtedly the most highly anticipated first-party PlayStation release of the year. Admittedly, we have very little idea about what’s coming beyond that. I sure hope those rumours of another PlayStation Showcase are true. In the meantime though, Peter Parker and Miles Morales will swing back onto our consoles on 20 October. The game’s map is said to betwice as largeas that in the original game, plus we’ll get to exploreseveral of New York’s boroughsthat we’ve never been to before. Players canswitch between Miles and Peterduring free-roam, although main missions are fixed. At last weekend’s San Diego Comic Con, it was announced that aSpidey themed PS5is also on the way - and now we know just how much it’ll cost.

Take a look at the latest trailer forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2below.

Reliable leaker billbil-kun (viaDealabs) has revealed pricing for the console, and it’ll cost you a fair bit. The console bundle will reportedly go on sale for $599.99 / €659.99. That bundle will include a PS5 console with the Spidey faceplates, plus the controller and a digital copy of the game. Other recent console and game bundles have cost in the region of $530 to $560, so this marks yet another price rise from Sony.

If you were hoping to just nab the controller, it’ll reportedly cost $79.99 / €79.99, while the faceplates will cost $64.99 / €64.99. Earlier this year, Sony released theHogwarts Legacycontroller at the same price point, so this remains steady. The cost of the faceplates is on par with the cost of the recently announced LeBron James versions too. Still, it’s a steep cost for collector’s looking to nab the whole collection.
