Sony is Raising PS5 Prices AGAIN - Kinda Funny Games Daily 03.27.26

·1 hr 13 min·5 clips

Greg says, “PlayStation 6 is going to cost four figures.”

Greg Miller and Blessing Oye Jr. kick off Friday’s show, March 27th, 2026, with the usual fast-moving news energy. Sony’s PlayStation 5 price increase becomes the center of the conversation. From there, the discussion keeps circling back to value, affordability, and what players are actually willing to pay. A listener question about GTA 6 pricing opens a broader debate about whether higher hardware costs and higher game prices can keep climbing together. Greg argues that some players will pay whatever it takes to get the best experience. Blessing presses on how far that logic can really go. The hosts also talk about the PS5 Pro and whether it changes the value equation. Remote play comes up too, including the idea that a PS5 running games at a higher frame rate and resolution can improve what gets streamed to a Portal. That turns the price-hike story into a wider conversation about performance, convenience, and hidden benefits. The show doesn’t stay on Sony for long. It moves into Zelda Ocarina of Time remake chatter and the rumor that Glenn Powell is playing Star Fox in the Mario Galaxy movie. That absurd-sounding cast note lands exactly like the kind of mad-lib news the show thrives on. The hosts keep the tone loose while still following the actual headlines. They also widen the discussion to the state of the games business itself. Layoffs, studio closures, and the difficulty of making money in games come up as signs of a larger industry strain. Greg says the crash is already happening in some form. The episode ends up as a mix of headline reaction, market anxiety, and jokes, driven more by the day’s news than by a polished thesis. Its appeal is hearing two hosts think through a messy situation before the discourse hardens. It feels immediate, opinionated, and very live.
