 Price and Availability

 

When it comes to the details that we all must know about the PS4, two of the biggest questions that we're all asking is "when will it come out, and how much will it cost." Talks about this kind of stuff are a little bit all over the place as you would expect, but in most circles it seems that a holiday release alongside a price somewhere between $400-$450 seems pretty reasonable to guess. None of the reports I have read venture to price the unit at $500 but I wouldn't say its entirely out of the question. What's more is, according to the single most recent report on these issues, it is said that we actually won't get any actual pricing details at the event on Wednesday. Maybe they'll wait till E3 to talk about that, but we all know how that worked out for them last time.

 

PS4 Price

 

Another thing that's also important to recall is that as of late consoles haven't been launching with just one single model to buy. That means the price of all this could fluctuate depending on whether you would like to buy a supposed deluxe or entry level version.

 

My Prediction: I think we will see pricing details at the event, but we may not be too happy with them. I would say a base model at $450 sounds about right, but I personally think the best value option for you will probably cost $499.

I should add, for those that don't know, the event will be held at 6PM ET / 3PM PT/ 11PM UK tomorrow! Gamespot and IGN are both doing streams! What do you guys think will go down?

Since i'm developing a Video Game myself... i got a license with SCEE to get the Developer Kits...

The Developer Kit costs £400, around $450 or $500 i think... and the specs noted in the Developer Kit Notes seems unlikely to sell at $400 as they would lose a lot of money! (contract may change that)

Nice to know. That's kinda why I'm sitting with a $500 price tag right now. I'm hoping it won't be much higher than that... As you probably know, console makers do often take huge losses in the beginning. I think they were losing around $100 on each PS3.

Lame...touchscreen controllers. Does everything need to be ruined by a touch screen. My advice is don't drop or throw your controller, I guarantee that touchscreen will break very easy.

My prediction, this current generation (PS3, Xbox360) is going to be the most popular last-gen systems ever once these next-gen ones roll out.

Friggin' touchscreens :sad: I already want nothing to do with PS4.
