Wow. Not sure how the Australia's value of currency compares to the US but that's quite expensive considering you have to trade in a ps3.

PS4 is actually good value now at around US $315 (450 X .7)

In 2013 though the AU dollar was 1.10 US and it cost  AU $549 so around US $600.

For reference though the PS3 was $1000 at launch so this seemed like a bargain despite the fact that the PS4 is nowhere near the powerhouse that the PS3 was for its time.



And Canada got an entire $30 Canadian price cut!!!

I got my PS4 almost two years ago for $400AUD


You got it at launch for $400?


Nah two months after launch. I was planning to wait till a better mdoel come out. But for $400 couldn't say no lol.  Most other department chaisn sel PS4 with bundles for about the $448 mark now

Please tell me it's just a live feed into the home of someone called Stan.

Lol i'll let you read the differences:

Essentially Stan, Presto, foxtel exist because netflix said htey coming to Australia. so it was a knee jerk reaction form TV networks who been ripping us off for years to try and fight netflix.

Quickflix and ezyflix started out as online rental services. So you paid a fee to watch a moving that you had access to for a week. Not sure what purpose they serve now. I guess they chaning stremaing models to match everyone else.
