In australia PS4 pre orders are going for $549.00

You can pick up an XBOX for $599.00 with a free copy of FIFA14 worth $98.00.

So xbox is actually cheaper than the PS4 if you were going to buy fifa14 anyways, which is what i (and most other gamers) are going to do!

plus xbox gets kinect2 and the best online service out there.

All xbox day one editions are sold out in australia, what a turn around!

Add in the $105 Blu-ray wifi adapter on the PS4 while the Xbox comes with it, the PS4 is indeed more expensive.

Australia's great (I am not Australian). Broaden your horizons people. 

And would you look at that, not a bad move by MS. Though for me, FIFA is unappealling, and the reality is both consoles aren't sufficiently appealling. A Radeon 7970 is more appealling I'm sorry.

What's the minimum wage there? Just to have a base of comparison and understanding.

I'm pretty sure Australia mw is circa $16 America I believe is circa $7?

But I thought mems doesn't afraid of anything? It's an awesome place. If you ever have the money, I'd recommend it. The Gold Coast is very safe and it's not far from the Sunshine Coast. Better value tourism than NZ, but NZ's wildlife is pretty harmless.

Well what I am getting and what I want are two different things. I don't want kinect, nor do I want Fifa. So scratch those off the list. Like I said, the PS4 is the cheapest.
