PS4 & PS5 Gold Version Overpriced

Anyone else feel like the pricing for the Gold Edition; which includes PS4 and PS5 versions is just overpriced for almost no reason, when the ps4 base version is £59 but the gold is £89 so paying additional £30 just for the ps5 version when its basically the same game just on a different platform. No other games that include both versions seem to be charging that much for them. dont think ill be buying the pre-order just in case what happened to cyberpunk happens to battlefield where the ps4 version is basically unplayable, guess just have to wait and see..

    - Standard Edition PS5

    $69.99, €79.99, £69.99 (USD / EURO / GBP)

    -Standard Edition PS4

    $59.99, €69.99, £59.99 (USD / EURO / GBP)

    - Gold Edition:

    $99.99, €99.99, £89.99 (USD / EURO / GBP)

    - Ultimate Edition:

    $119.99, €119.99, £109.99 (USD / EURO / GBP)

    Well, we can always discuss about the price.

    But if you look at it, for a PS4 game around 60-70 (depending on your country's money) is pretty usual. And if you look at Next-gen consoles with better graphics, more players ect. around 70-80 seems ok as well. If you compare to Old-gen. 

    The Gold and Ultimate edition include both games (PS4 and PS5) so if you would buy both seperate you would pay around 130-150.

    So it seems fair to me. 

    If you don't need bot versions, you're more than welcome to just purchase one. Either PS4 or PS5, what you prefer. 

    It's not only the same game on a different platform you get, PS5 and PS4 versions can't play together online as the PS5 will offer a 128 players multiplayer experience and the PS4 version will only play the usual 64 players. 

    Besides that, the New-gen consoles will also be able to Cross-play with PC players as well.

  • @tabes94 My version maybe cheaper but you will be enjoying 120 people on large scale maps with better quality matches. I remember back when hardline dropped on xbox360 and xbox one the difference in quality and maps was leaps and bounds when I switched over.

    Up until today's announcement, I felt the Gold version was bang on the money but now that the cross gen bundle is included in standard, I'm actually really annoyed (to put it politely)!

    If the Battlepasses work out at less than £30, DICE can go blow themselves.......

  • @Trokey66  Battlepass will be £10 or around that same as all Battle passes if it doesn't include your money back it will be less(opinion btw). How many are included in the gold version though
