Sony sells a € 550 t-shirt, more expensive than the console!

Sony and Balenciaga are teaming up to launch a new clothing line focused on the PS5. If fans are likely to rejoice, there is however a catch: a simple T-shirt costs 550 €, which is more than the base price of the console. That said, there is no doubt that some will buy it with pleasure.

PlayStation is one of the founding pillars in the history of video games. Also, it is not surprising to see some fans ready to do anything to satisfy their collection cravings. Especially since at the moment, getting your hands on the PS5 is not really easy. Its popularity, in any case, is already no longer to be proven: Sony has sold nearly 8 million copies of the console since its launch at the end of 2020. Proof if there is any. a vein to be exploited in derivative products.

This is probably what Balenciaga thought when it came to the idea of ​​launching a clothing line dedicated to the PS5. The partnership signed with Sony, here is T-shirt and hoodie that appear on the brand’s website. If these can serve as lot of consolation for all those impatient who still do not have the precious sesame, however, it will be necessary to make a major concession. More precisely, a concession of the order of € 550, or the price … of a single T-shirt.

A T-shirt at 550 €, a hoodie at 718 €

Balenciaga doesn’t do things by halves, since fans can choose from no less than two colors: Red and black. And if you ever plan to be cold next winter, fear not: Balenciaga has also planned a hoodie, which is significantly more expensive than T-shirts, however, since it costs € 718.

The design of the clothes is meant for them relatively sober, since it is content to take the name and the symbols of the console, next to which is stuck the logo of Balenciaga (probably responsible for the price that some will consider exorbitant). We can easily imagine that some will not hesitate to go for the limited edition, failing to have a PS5 controller in your hands.

The popularity of the console, meanwhile, is unlikely to decline in the coming months. Firstly, because the shortage is not about to end : Sony plans to run out of stock until 2022. Second, because its game library will soon be enriched with titles eagerly awaited by fans, ranging from from the new Ratchet & Clank to God of War Ragnarok. Sony is already planning the blow, while a new version of the PS5 is in the works.
