Someone made an interesting point, if Sony is planning to price cut the ps4 in U.S.A, then why was the batman bundle announced so early at it's price point.
If the price drops, I'll go get one asap. Don't care for any of the games in the bundles, and i have plenty of Plus games waiting to be downloaded.


Microsoft announced the price of the Assassins Creed bundle as $399 before dropping it to $349 for the holiday season. 

The price drops in the UK and Middle East are due to unique market conditions and it's unlikely we'll see a PS4 price cut on a global scale this quarter.

Yeah. I think they are trying to make up for the lost sales due to the pirated copies back in th ps1/ps2 days XD 


I don't wanna remember that days. XD


I didn't know anything about piracy back then. I was happy to buy games for 5-10 ryals as a kid, then I realized what I did was wrong when I got older XD

Oh nooooo.... xD

I remember local stores sold them modded PS1/PS2 then gets free 25 pirated games. I didn't even know about piracy back then. xD

Nintendo 64 was probably my very first i owned original games back in mid 2001 before Gamecube coming.

Technically the current 399$ TLOUR and future Batman PS4 bundles already have a ~50$ price cut compared to the 399$ standalone PS4.

TLOUR was an exclusive so people could think that Sony give the game for free. Well maybe Sony currently makes a healthy 50$ profit for each TLOUR PS4 bundle sold and the 399$ batman bundle is the real 50$ price cut everyone is waiting for.

Fine, i'll tell you.(No offensively though )

It's too late. xD we always get consoles every next gen unofficially. Yes, we're dealing with resellers from local stores before release date or official.

Ok, back to legitly or officially.

Where was i. Oh yes, smart move Sony, i hope the others get price cut for USA & Canada.

When will sony do the same in latinamerican countries?, a ps4 is more expensive now than if you bought it day one. There have been some sweet deals but almost everyone I know who owns a ps4 bought it in the gray market.

The ps2 era was so epic...miss those days.
