After months and months of fevered speculation, Sony has finally revealed the launch dates and price points of its highly anticipated next-gen hardware: PlayStation 5.

The standard PS5 model launches November 12 in The U.S., Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea, priced at $499 USD. It will follow in all other territories one week later on November 19.

A disc-free edition of the console, PS5 Digital Edition, will launch on the same dates, and will retail for a slightly cheaper $399 USD. The graphic below displays the price point in various global currencies.

Over on Twitter, Geoff Keighley has announced that pre-orders will open at “select retailers” tomorrow, while also hinting that some retailers might possibly open their pre-orders as early as today. So keep ’em peeled if you want to be first in line.
