Forums - Sony Discussion - Rumour: PS4 will be $399 (seems legit)

Troll_Whisperer on 20 May 2013

Apparently Sony India's website uploaded some PS4 related information stating this would be the price for a 250gb model. The page was removed shortly after:

http://www.sony.co.in/product/playstation+4+250+gb

 

But not before a few websites took notice:

http://playfront.de/sony-nennt-preis-der-playstation-4-auf-der-offiziellen-homepage/#nnn

http://www.vandal.net/noticia/1350637890/el-modelo-basico-de-playstation-4-podria-tener-un-precio-de-400-euros-/

 

They were very quick to remove it and it came straight from Sony specifically mentioning PS4 so... seems pretty legit.

Epic price point if true.

Is that a good price point? I'm out of touch unless it's the cost of handhelds.

What's the RRP of Wii-U basic?

Regardless, if true, I hope this doesn't mean I'll be paying £399 for it because currency DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT SONY.

Says 399 EUR, so more like $500.

WiiU basic is $299.

And no, you won't pay £399. £329 perhaps, or £299 with a bit of luck.

$399, Eur399 #299 Y39900 seems likely to me

€400=$500. Seems about right for what I expected the consoles to launch at.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Yup. Current prices:

PS3: $250/€250

PSV: $250/€250 (which BTW makes PSV seem expensive...)

They've always been in line, since the launch of the euro, as far as I know. But in Europe taxes are included in the price.

 

So yeah, awesome ;) Not so much for europeans though...
