I'm still expecting $449, but it guess it mostly depends on how all in MS think they have to go with the Scorpio to remain competitive. If they think it's core to that, then them taking a moderate loss on each unit would likley be on the table.

I'm expecting $499 personally. Probably a November release too. You thinking October, November or sometime else entirely?

I used to think $499 was quite likley (ignoring them taking losses), but given they went cheap on the CPU i think they want to be at least relatively price competitive against the Pro. If they were looking at being potentially $150 more than the Pro (and $200 - $300 more than a normal PS4), i don't think they'd have done that. Still, i guess a lot also depends on what kind of production deals they have.

As for the date, early November seems pretty reasonable. That would let them capatalize on both Black Friday and Christmas, and let them build up enough stock to push both hard.
