PlayStation 4 receives official £50 price drop in the UK this October
- Thread starter ZhugeEX
- Start date
Just remember £299 includes tax whereas $399 is before tax.
How about £249 with a bundled game for that perceived value? I think you'd get uncharted collection bundled into a ton of PS4s this winter, and a £249 ideal with uncharted would be good value.
This looks like a bundle pricedrop, not a general permanent pricedrop for all console models that are on sale in the UK.
But still.... great deal for UK gamers and a possible sign that a permanent worldwide pricedrop is upon us. I kinda think everything remain the same, except some limited deals in the US during the height of holiday season.

They want the demand to rise.

This price cut means retailers will be able to go even lower now, so instead of £289 it could be £239 or lower.

I wanted a bigger price cut and I also wanted a bigger redesign for this ps4 model (including controller build etc...)
I want a PS4 2
Maybe they'll wait till the release of PSVR to drop the price another £50

I am still happy with this one...
Lol. Had to come from you.

Yeh, I got my PS4 back in March 2014 for £300.
Good deal back then
Just means deep cuts from the MSRP going forwards.

Still not worth it. Cut off £80 at minimum and we have a deal.
How bad is Canada economy atm?
As long as they pass the savings on to the wholesale market, sure. If so, great, if they're just telling retailers what the ceiling price is, not so good.
Either way, Xmas is here soon and a near £200 console would hopefully be low enough to get a nice present from my other half, heh.
Late next year with a Slim model featuring a shrinked down APU. These things are sort on autopilot once they get going.
Low oil has killed capital investment and our manufacturing sector looks more like a rust belt by the day. And the leaders we have to choose from in the coming election do not inspire confidence: crook/shnook vs angry Quebec socialist vs dopey drama teacher.

got mine with TLOU/FIFA15 for £308 last October. Traded fifa in for £32 cash :3
What a time to be Facism.
In Italy the price is 399 with tax, the same in germany and other country from the Euro zone.
Demand isnt the problem here, sony wants to sell as many Ps4´s as possible so with this price cut, agressive bundles, agressive marketing and amazing exclusives it will sure have a insane 2015 and 2016.
This Console will break some records this holidays, not Wii Level but it will be insane and Xbox One should do HUGE numbers aswell at least in Americas and Europe/Asia excluding Japan.
Great time for Consoles owners, Studios are investing on Consoles ALOT, TGS was crazy on PS4 games, PGW will be crazy and PSX will be freaking extreme!
We only need Nintendo back in the game, seriously NX needs to be awesome.

Not bad.
If that horizon game turns to to be anywhere near as amazing as it looked and it gets a bundle I'll be p tempted.

Hope it's a $100 drop for australia.
Bet it's still going to be $50.

Officially its £299 with bundles being £309, although places are selling it for £299 with more than one game anyway
It's not about demand dropping, it's Sony determining that demand in the UK will be elastic enough for a price drop to increase revenue.

Yep its been sitting around there for a while.
I bought mine last year December for £292 with 2 games.
The PS4 is going to do very well. While Xbox might be hanging on in the UK, just, and has the odd exclusive to attract people, the PS4 is showing that it's the place where all the multi-plats will run best and where you can get some of the best exclusives in the business and access to a wide range of inexpensive indie titles. PS+, needed for online play, gives you a ton of free games, and you have access to VR being a reality next year if you own the console.
The Xbox has little if anything to battle this. Halo has lost a lot of it's gravitas and most will happily wait for Tomb Raider 2, if they're bothered at all. It's a great compact console with everything going for it and it can only keep snowballing. We're finally seeing traditional Japanese game devs start to warm up again and over the generation it should feel a little bit like the golden era of PS2 all over again. There's a ludicrous amount of highly promising games coming and for those that dismiss the PS4 library up until now, seriously, you're blind and a bit dumb should you be pedalling that line even now.
Cannot wait to see how huge a success the PS4 will go on to be over the next half decade. Pretty damn huge I predict. We have a console for the world, with devs from the world making content for it. Sadly the Xbox always put me off with how it was a non starter in Japan and the subsequent way this affected Japanese devs getting on with making top quality console games. Now we're back in business. Oh and Shenmue 3!

GameStop have always been an anomaly in the UK, consoles were cheaper at launch there than anywhere else, accessories too etc, good price though

I'll probably grab one of these in time for the new Uncharted game. I wonder what sort of prices the bundles will come in at though?
