Sony seems to have kicked off a new wave of PS5 marketing, as the company's been sending promotional emails out to those on its PlayStation mailing list. Said emails have been doing the rounds ever since that weird PS5 advert went live last week. We got our own email around that time, too.
Anyway, fans are wondering whether this means that more PS5 news is imminent -- but we wouldn't get your hopes up just yet. While we do think that more PS5 info is heading our way soon -- let's face it, Sony doesn't have much of a choice if the console's launching this year -- these emails appear to just be solidifying the points made by the aforementioned ad.
"PlayStation 5 is coming" reads the email itself. It then links to the advert, and also provides links to several pages on the official PlayStation website, all of which explain the next-gen console's key features. And as you'd expect, there's no mention of price or a release date -- you didn't think it would be that easy, did you?
With Gamescom Opening Night Live 2020 happening later this week, it's possible that Sony might have some PS5 news to share, but we imagine that it'll be saving the big announcements for its own event. The wait, as always, continues.

I'm sure there has to be news about the release date and price in September. Or we riot.
If this keeps up, I won't be surprised if they will be revealing the price when you go to pick it up from the store.
31.12.2020 - Playstation 5 says coming this holiday, but we still don't have exact date or price.
Pre-orders allegedly go live on 9th September 2020.

PS I hope I haven't broken any site rules by posting an external link. My apologies if I have.
Have you guys thought about making an app?
@Nickolaidas Maybe they didn't set an MSRP at all and you'll have to haggle for it every time. They've instructed store clerks to always start with an opening bid of $1000. This is what was meant by "more social" than ever before.
It's become a bit of a running joke around distributors and retailers this.
Sony and Microsoft we all know the consoles are coming but for the love of god a date and a price has to be placed on point of sale before it can be displayed.
PS5 is coming? First I’ve heard of it. How much?
I wonder how much they paid their marketing dept peeps to come up with such a clever and original slogan as "Playstation 5 is coming"?
Parties and raises all around. 🤪
@Nickolaidas I imagine some random people will just have it dropped on their door step on a random day and money just drained from their account. And that’s how you find out you actually preordered one.
Price will be RNG. No two people will pay the same.
You'd assume mid September pre-order for mid-November release at about £500, seems plausible?
I'm quite interested in seeing how upgraded first party games will look on PS5, you'd think Sucker Punch will release an update for GoT as an example to add some traced rays or run at 60fps?
@nookie_egg The ultimate lootbox mechanic.
@Woogy
I think that iron man guy is a fake but there are words that COD MP reveal is Sept 9th and could be at PS5 event.
PS Fans: We want news on release date and pricing.
Sony: Ohh definitely, here's a detailed look on the PS5 power cord.
Soon (tm), lol. But seriously though, I want to see the new ui.
Sony is waiting for Microsoft To release theyre price first.but either way.ps5 is going to destroy x box Easily.word up son
I'm a very patient person as a whole but this whole ps5 wait is really testing that. But the ps5 is still a day 1 purchase for me. I'm glad they've produced a open option to customers to buy, but for me the black edition is the one for me.
To be fair, the hype for the console been cooling off to me. I have never been so unhyped for next gen as I am today. The whole sit tight and wait thing just doesn't do to me anymore.
i'd just like a price/date so i can preorder and pay for it. then just relax and wait for launch day.
At this point I feel they are waiting on the pre-orders to go live. They may just wait and announce the price and say you can pre-order it NOW!
Sony : To view price add to cart.
Customer :Adds to cart, sees price
Customer :Checks out
Computer Monitor: Bright Flash
Customer: memory wiped.
"Bring your wallet into the store this fall, the price will be between 399-999$, you will get to spin the dial and find out what you pay! Hurry in!"
I got one from Soni Africa. If I send them £300, they'd send me a PS5 immediately. I jumped at that offer and sent them all my credit details.
People rarely mention the exchange rate fluctuations that have occurred over the past few months when they talk about these price delays. The GBP:USD alone has moved enough to have significantly impacted local prices.
