Sony NGP Is Affordable For Everyone

Customers have been waiting with anticipation to hear the price of the Sony NGP since the announcement of its launch. For most Sony gaming systems, high cost is a prohibitive factor that has kept many customers from purchasing their products. However, that is all about to change with the introduction of the NGP.

I'll be getting it anyway because its just too damn good to pass up, especially since I missed on all the great games on PSP. Still waiting for a confirmed price, but I think 300 is great.

darthv724791d ago

it was the full list of specs which as of now still missing the amount of memory and internal storage. Speculation has it somewhere at 512mb ram with development units at 1gb of ram.

just want to know for my own peace of mind.

sikbeta4791d ago

I want it now! if it's affordable for everyone, that means saving money for this precious thing and buying day one...

Electroshocked4791d ago

The only game I enjoyed on the PSP was Free Running, that was an awesome game. But I am definitely getting the NGP to, you know, with the graphics, trophies and awesome features and all.

DaTruth4791d ago

I hope it has a gig of XDR ram on top of what we already know! Then we could have Crysis level game worlds and physics(not graphics) even if it has to be on a 540p screen!

The most impressive thing about Crysis for me wasn't the graphics, it was having draw distances so far, they are outside of your field of vision and areas that exist even when you are nowhere near them!

superadvanced4791d ago

lol do u know how much power XDR uses? its going to use lpddr2 or 3.

hamburger1234790d ago (Edited 4790d ago )

People buy the Ipad without whining but a psp2 for 400?

No sir.

Man that's why i chose Sony as my facourite console maker.

HolyOrangeCows4791d ago

"Affordable For Everyone"?? Awesome!!!

.....how much is that?

DigitalHorror814791d ago

$299, hopefully. I've been touting this for the last month and a half. I hope I'm right. :o) Couple that with a game and I'm almost pushing 400 after tax.

soren4791d ago

not a bad price just hope it aint over run the crappy shooters

Iroquois_Pliskin4791d ago

Sorry your too late for that... Activision's probably planning to release Call Of Duty: Mini Ops

plb4791d ago

It's already confirmed that COD is going to NGP..whether it's called mini ops however I have no idea lol

stuntman_mike4791d ago

Black mini ops:

you drive around in a black mini cooper and complete various mundane tasks associated with war of some kind.

CobraKai4790d ago

That's sounds too innovative for Activision.

Renewman4791d ago

As long as Sony can keep the NGP between $250-350, the NGP will sell quite well.

DigitalHorror814791d ago

Agreed. 299 is the magic number for me. It will allow me to buy a game at launch!

Projekt7tuning4791d ago (Edited 4791d ago )

I'm down for $250. But I know I'll still buy it for $299 lol.

CobraKai4790d ago

Same. $250 is the price point that I feel would be perfect in terms of hitting that critical mass, but $299 is still very good for what NGP is offering.

CobraKai4790d ago

Strike First! Strike Hard! No Mercy!

Projekt7tuning4790d ago

LOL.
I haven't seen the new one. Did they leave that line in there? also have you watched the video "Sweep the leg"?

Bubble for you. lol

Stealth20k4791d ago

its going to be 299 for the base model like gamestop has it at

BubbleSniper4791d ago

getting most expensive version.

early adopt for this has got to be a win...

kaveti66164791d ago (Edited 4791d ago )

Early adopters never win. EVER.

Some people will brag about having a couple more USB ports on their launch PS3s, though.

Edit: No doubt I will be envious of those who get it early. But I all history tells me not to be an early adopter.

There are people saying they'll buy the next Xbox day one. Idiots.

BubbleSniper4791d ago

i dunno, tho. i liked brag about having nice shiny console, card readers, usb ports, backward compatible

think you get idea, lol... n'yeah, usually wait for stable batch of hardware before purchase...

but NPG an exception for me, just like iphone1 was...

Ddouble4791d ago

Not just extra couple ports but backwards compatibility as well.

For the NGP the only reason i can see for not being an early adopter is that there would probably be a slim version down the line.

DaTruth4791d ago (Edited 4791d ago )

I would like to brag about those things, but early adopter YLOD makes them a moot point!

But those things were awesome while they lasted!

DigitalHorror814791d ago

Well, I'm going to get an extended warranty on it for a year or two. I'll be home free if it takes a crap on me.

jidery4790d ago

My early adapted PS3 is still running strong, and my launch PS2 is still running strong.

Rageanitus4790d ago

wrong the ps3 was a fantastic price when it lauched.

It was the most cost effective device that took full advantage of your hdtv

Telltale shares new images from The Wolf Among Us 2, release 2024

The long-awaited sequel to the 2013 narrative adventure is currently expected out sometime in 2024.

BlackOni2d ago

Oh hell yeah! I feel like this was one hell of an underrated game, and I'm glad to see that a part 2 is coming.

jznrpg2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

This was my favorite Telltale game. I’m definitely going to play this. Hopefully it has less jank than the Telltale games had. I didn’t think it would happen but I’m happy it’s coming

gold_drake1d 21h ago

right? it was sooo good, cant wait for part 2

BlackCountryBob2d ago

Great, loved the first game and happy a sequel is coming but after such a lengthy development, are Telltale gonna be releasing it episodic with non specific time delays between episodes? If it is episodic, they need to have a full set of dates laid out for every episode so we know what we are getting & when like Resident Evil Revelations 2 did, buying episode 1 and not knowing when the rest will come is just unacceptable in 2024.

CobraKai1d 19h ago

I always loved Telltale games. They were like those old choose your own adventures books.

andy856d ago

And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.

BeHunted6d ago

It's fake. There's no factual evidence other than his own made up specs.

Hereandthere6d ago

What were the specks Sony was afraid of showing?

Shikoku6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Digital foundry put a video out saying what he leaked was exactly what they also knew about the PS5 PRO. So no it's not just stuff he made up

Babadook76d ago (Edited 6d ago )

If it’s fake what copyright does MLID infringe upon?

😂

andy856d ago

Aye because they'd go to the effort of copyright claiming it if it didn't exist 🙃😂 you'd have to be a special kind to be thinking its not a thing by now

Cacabunga6d ago

They need to reveal it with uncharted killzone or a heavy hitter like this

Ironmike6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

U mean the specs that we'll established digital foundry which said these are the actual specs published a video on 2 weeks ago I mean they are only one of most trusted sites for tech information but they just made up a video for the sake of it

Christopher5d ago

I would love for it all to be fake, but lots of people are saying they've seen/heard the same thing. But, man, we 100% don't need mid-gen upgrades when we're failing hard to optimize current hardware.

Seraphim5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

if I recall Sony lowered sales expectations for PS5 earlier this year. if that is the case we won't hear anything about a Pro until next year or shortly before/when it's dropping. After all, if the Pro was dropping this year/fiscal year they wouldn't have lowered expectations.

As for squashing rumors. Yeah, shit like this prevents potential buyers from adopting now, just like slim rumors in the past. It only makes sense to keep things under wraps from a business perspective. Despite living in a technological age of unfettered access to information we don't need to know whats going on behind closed doors be that at Sony, Nintendo, MS, or amongst any development studios. When the steak is done we shall feast.

JackBNimble5d ago

By the time games are actually made to take advantage of the pro spec's the ps6 will be released or close to it.

jznrpg6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro

Ironmike6d ago

Pro won't lessen sales sames ps4 pro never and the ps4 pro was more relevant at the time cos move to 4k this not needed

RaidenBlack5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Yea, my brother got his PS4 (coz of a good deal) after the PS4 Pro's release.

darthv725d ago

^^same here. I got a base 4 for only $100 off a guy who bought the Pro. then a few months later I found a guy on craigslist selling a pro for $100 because it was left behind by his former roommate who moved out. That was the beginning of my obsession to buy up the different variants of the PS4 that were released.

As of now I am really only missing the 500m one and the gold slim but otherwise I have pretty much all the other retail ones. https://consolevariations.c...

crazyCoconuts5d ago

Anyone with 4K that appreciates 60fps is gonna disagree about it not being needed.
DLSS is a god send for Nvidia, and there's been nothing like it for AMD...yet ...

DeadlyFire5d ago

They will announce it around E3 timeframe about May-June whenever they do a showcase for the year.

neutralgamer19926d ago

Just announce it this thing will sell well

Ironmike6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I don't think it will pll still haven't seen the potential of ps5 yet

Cacabunga5d ago

agreed, but it might sell if they announce some 1st party games to lead the way. if people see the difference with the base version they can move on. for my sake I am still gaming mainly on PS4 (still not finished with RDR2 due to lack of gaming time). I have a huge backlog on PS5 I am hoping to get into.

mark3214uk6d ago

why? game makers havnt even come close to maxing out current spec yet, were getting al lthese new TFlops and game maker are making crappy remakes not worthy of the ps3

Minute Man 7215d ago

The guts of the 5 and X are 5 years old

fr0sty5d ago

People keep saying that, yet we still have games running at near HD resolutions, 30fps, and ray tracing features turned off.

PRIMORDUS6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣

LoveSpuds5d ago

With kind of analysis and advice, you could be a lawyer for Trump!🤣

tronyx125d ago

As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
