Sony been raising prices, literally since the PS5 drops. People just don't really care, overall I understand why. The majority of people who have PlayStation are SUPER casual, like Madden, COD casuals. So they don't care about 70 1st party games, and they keep a PSN sub to play with friends.
But every year, sometimes multiple times a year there has been an overall price increase for PS stuff depending on where you live, and that can range from being annoying, bad, or insanely costly.
This is a 1st in console gaming that I can remember though, systems have stayed the same or gone up from the original release price.
