Forums - Sony - The PlayStation 4; don't be surprised if it is "free" at launch

Buy 1000 years of PS+, get a PS4 FREE!



Around the Network

Already the second mention of a subscription model for the PS4 and Microsoft already having it in place. Even though at the end of the day I feel the consumer gets cheated in the end, it far better for Sony's (and Microsoft's) bottom line than releasing a expensive console and have to rely on price cuts.



No. MS won't do this either.



Contract mode will be the rule for consoles. Even casuals are used to buying $600+ smartphones via contract.



Nah, I can see MS doing this (maybe, depending on the success of the 360 one) but it will never be free, they'll be some up-front cost.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Probably in America, not sure in Europe.



How EPIC PS4 can be???



No PS4 for me if they do this. If I use my PS4 for just 5 years I'd have to pay 50*5*12=3000$

No way in hell.



Isn't Microsoft doing the same thing right now



Well is it is 15 pounds a monthfor 24 months i think will be a good idea



Switch!!!
