It's more like 300 dollars, 350 with a game. Pretty huge deal here! |
More like $300 with a game. The Pro is $399 with a game. Either way, $199 is a good deal.
Probably their strongest bundle since BLOPS3.
I think MS is gonna beat them on price, maybe $180. But there isn't a definitive game to bundle with. Maybe FH4, BFV, the starter bundle, or just do Fortnite.

I've aways been of the inclination that that sony has been at a good place with PS4 manufacturing for a while now. Basically from the time they went from 28nm to 14nm fabrication. Its like no one understood how chip deals at this scale goes. They aren't priced per chip they are priced per wafer. Going from 28 to 14nm basically means you are getting about two chips (slightly less than) for the price of one. And using a smaller SOC coupled with fewer ram modules (16 to 8) means manufacturing improvements and cost savings all round. I have no doubt in my mind that since last year it has not cost sony aything more than $179 to make a PS4 and by now probably even less. The only reason its still priced at $299 is cause sales has remained strong. Which brings me to this deal. I really don't think sony will have a lot of this SKU in the market at that price. I expect it to become the new pimary sku going forward but i doubt sony is going to have a lot of them at $199. Again, cause the don,t seem to need to. This is why at some point earlier this year I was saying that sony needs to lose a couple of months to make them drop their price....... unfortunately that doesn't seem to be happenning. |
Yep I guess it's quite possible that they are nearing 149 cost point. And they will hold this price for as long as possible. But for the BF I don't see a problem having like 1M of this to win by a big margin the day. Just to muscle out and show they are still strong.

Last years deal was limited and sold out eventually, you could only get normal prices ps4's after that. I wouldn't be surprised if this deal is also limited. If it's not limited and there's plenty of stock though, this would sell a ridiculous amount of consoles.

I just checked on Amazon France, and it's 299€ for the console 1T, 349€ for bundles. Less expensive in the States?
It will be interesting to see if this deal is only for Black Friday or if they have a similar deal for all of December.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

I was thinking about a PS4 Slim at $199.99 with Marvel's Spider-Man. PS4 Pro at $299.99 with Read Dead Redemption 2.
A buddy of mine at work was asking to buy a PS4 for his son for Christmas. This just might be the way to go.

Well yeah, we generally we do pay less in the US.
