REPORT: PS4 launching in November starting a $430?

More then I want to pay for one. I'd like to know what the differences are between each model. I have no plans to pay over $500 for a game console. Over $400 is still to much. After taxes and an extra controller, but a couple of games, you're pushing almost $700. No tell what Sony's online subscriptions will be like.

$430 is such an odd price point wtf.

On that point Dark Souls 2 better be on ps4/720. If not I will probably hold off buying the next gen consoles until price drops.

Still to much for me. I have a set price of what I want to pay for a game console and handheld. Some gamers have no problem paying $500-$600 for a game console, but most do. Which is why the PS3 sales were terrible until the PS3 Slim launched. You question my judgement, but the proof is already out there. blackace

I am not doubting that the "lone high priced SKU" business model is dumb. But as long as they throw out a low end sub-$450 SKU for the console and no competitor releases significantly cheaper they'll be fine. My initial post was just to state, quite plainly, that I will buy the premium model. To each his own, no reason for debate here.

Disregarding the two MS stock holder trolls ath the begining of my thread..........

;) I will be getting the high end model, I was predisposedto pay $550 for the best model like a boss.

PS4 launching in November at $430?

Where the hell have you been? :?

source says two models of new platform launching this holiday season in US; gamers will be able to control system with smartphone.

The PlayStation 4 will launch in the United States this November starting at $430, a source has told Kotaku. A second model will also be available for $530, this person said, though this is not set in stone. Pricing at this level falls in line with a past report, which suggested the system would sell for $400+ at launch.

:cool: Discuss

Really old news!!!

I wonder what the difference in the SKUs will be. Hopefully its more than just a larger HDD.

Bad move, SONY. Microsoft could make the starting price $199 with an $80 monthly payment for 2 years and it would crush the PS4.CallOfDutyRulez

Are you out of your mind? That would cost over $2000 lol

Yeah, I'm sure nobody would notice $1000/year disappearing from their banks accounts.

Just like with every console at launch, ever, I'll be buying the most expensive model as the base model will likely be hamstrung in a lot of ways.

[QUOTE="CallOfDutyRulez"] I wouldn't put it past me. Most people are only interested in what they pay upfront, not the hidden costs. This is going to drive Microsoft's quarterly profits to $1 billion for the xbox division. Good thinking, Microsoft! I can't wait to buy it!!!CallOfDutyRulez

[QUOTE="Badosh"][QUOTE="blackace"] Well, I own a XBox 360 and my IQ is high enough. blackace

Gaming companies that were primarily invested in PC gaming. IE. Valve, Blizzard, EA, etc. All of them are now whoring themselves out to the consolites. Microsoft will win the gaming war. I look forward to the healthy profits I'll make from the Microsoft stocks I own.CallOfDutyRulez

You realize that they had to be PC exclusive initially, in order for them to count, right? Even Valve has released most of their titles with consoles since day one. Hell, Half-Life was released for the PS2.

If they are not an  exclusive  publisher, why label them as solely a "PC publisher"?

StrongBlackVine

Yeah because a $170 price drop on the launch model 7 years later is the same thing.

It's actually a S69.99 drop compared to one of the PS3's launch models.

That sounds fair. 

Hopefully they throw in a game or something also. That would be perfect. Its only 80$ more than the WiiU!

WiiU needs to drop to 250$ asap

[QUOTE="ninjapirate2000"][QUOTE="CallOfDutyRulez"] Perception is more important than reality when it comes to making profits. $199 with an $80/month contract sounds more pleasing than $430.CallOfDutyRulez

Damn, I was dead on point

[QUOTE="CallOfDutyRulez"][QUOTE="lostrib"]

You mean Valve, the company that owns Steam? EA is almost exclusively a multiplat publisher.  And Blizzard goes both ways, but mostly focuses on PC.  They do have a pretty popular PC game, it's called WoW, there are something like 9 million subscribers.  

lostrib

You are a special kind of stupid.  EA has always been a multiplatform publisher.  And valve's console ports werent originally even on the PS3 this gen.  And how many stocks do you own, because I highly doubt you will earn much of anything.  And you're probably too stupid to diversify.  

I would gladly pay those additional hundred dollars just for BC but it will probably be just a bigger HDD... Like if we wouldn't be able to upgrade it ourselves and for cheaper.
