PS4 price drop?

[Shaqo_Wyn]

So I want to get a PS4. I'm not sure if I should get it now or wait for a holiday price drop (hopefully near Christmas). Anybody hear anything about a price drop coming soon? Don't want to spend $400 now and see it drop to say, $350 in November.

Why would you want to get a PS4?

I wouldn't hold out for a price drop, even if it is $50. I don't personally think it's all that impressive, but if you want one, that's your choice.

I don't expect a ps4 price drop anytime soon with the way it's been selling like hotcakes, that said it's entirely possible a retailer or two could put it on special at some point.

 

Edit:

I think you came to ask the wrong people about a console

[Goldilock]

the price drop will be dwarved by amount you will have to pay for PSN and console extra price tag for games.

[GhostWindGamer]

Believe me these aren't the people to ask about consoles anyway back on topic don't wait if you wait for something you'll be waiting your whole life

You don't want a console, just get a PC or better yet a Steambox when they become available.

I have a 360, PS4 and soon 2 computers...my theory is the PS4 will sit there and collect dust....while the 360 will be used for movies...and the computers will be used for everything else.

Certain exclusives/timed exclusives.

 

Destiny DLC, Infamous Second Son, Last of Us Remastered, Killzone Shadow Fall, Uncharted 4, Little Big Planet 3 and other exclusive content such as 60 extra minutes of gameplay from publishers such as Ubisoft.

 

Topic: I would definitely wait. Even if there isn't a price drop - Black Friday deals always have extra games, or includes a 1 year card for that matter.

I got mine for 100 dollars plus the 1 year thingy.

Exclusives, portability, playing with non-PC friends, I've had every PS consoles before this, portability (no interest in building an mATX or mITX PC).

I already have a PC and I know that the PC master race has an intensive hate for consoles but I really don't see why we can't just have both.

Hahaha, well that's why I made sure to at least put it in the right sub-topic.

Thanks for the input guys and thanks for keeping the console hate to a minimum. Think I'll just get it now or next month then.

^ This. You are not entitled to choices that you do not make. So for the guys who pretty much make the master race look like a bunch of shits (We aren't it's just that a minority of you make it look that way), take note. Cause' in the end, it's not your money, AND IT SURE AS FUCK ISN'T YOUR CHOICE.

Stick with the PC, because the games with storylines aren't as abundant as they used to be.

 

Those were where all the fun was; games like Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Dacter and the sequel Jak...

 

The console gaming industry has changed, but PC games have stayed relatively the same.

LBP3, Tearaway are going to be great, but I'd just get a PS4 in like 5 years time when they're cheaper.

[Tacitus]

The PS4 launched at a really competitive and frankly modest price and is selling well. I'd not expect a price cut - a major one at least - for a long while. I reckon instead of discounting the cost of it they might just add freebies into the bundle - an extra game, or an extra controller etc at the same price.

[Whiskers]

Given the success of the console so far, I doubt we'll be seeing

a significant price drop any time soon. Maybe not even until

Sony announce a newer version of the console - a PS4 Slim,

as is traditional for them to do.

 

As a guess? I'd say we'll see a price drop probably around this

time next year. Until then you'll mostly just see sales from the

retailers and the like...

Nope brand new from gamestop I had traded in a 360 we had two and all of the games plus our ps3 and games plus the Nintendo 3ds and games. We paid 101 for it. We never used any of them anyways.

Aha like that. Damn two 360's and a PS3.. No wonder you got it for a hunndo. Good deal if you weren't using them tho.

1 360

1 Nintendo ds

1 ps3

And like 15 games.

Sorry about that we had two Xboxs in our house. We currently have one at the moment.
