Slim will probably be $299.99 and $249.99 actually for Black Friday deals.

That makes literally no sense.

Why would they release a new console revision at the same price as the old one? What is the incentive to by either?

Expect the fat models to have special deals, and bundles and vanishe from shelves as soon as the Slim is lauched.

There wont be any Fats in America and big markets by BF.

Wow, pretty big drop. Wonder what Sony will do. Chances are they(Sony) will leave the price the same in Europe and outside North America.

Even at 299 the PS4 still oustold the Xbox One so they don't really need to do anything.

Edit: but I could see them droping the PS4 base to 299 in preperation for the 399 Neo.
