The 349$ Star Wars Battlefront seems to be the perfect asset for november indeed, but I can't explain the lack of Black Ops III bundle for the same price.
PS4 gets a new, lower price starting Friday: $349.99

Its 1TB that's why.

Wha...you do realize the equivalent value means nothing to people whose currency is valued less and wages that are being outstripped by increased offset costs and a larger tax rate? Well, at least the console is a decent deal when the 429 bundles include $80 games like Battlefront.

because they know the game is a train wreck?
There are AC bundles in the UK, no price drop but the bundles exist.

Are all the bundles 500gb except COD which is why it's more expensive?

Because there is such a thing as having too many bundles.
He probably means a standard console with 500GB, not only LE, like EU.

Smart money was always on a price drop this year.
I don't mind the CAD price of the console, it's fair and even a better deal with the current dollar. My issue is first with the actual video game prices and then when they don't re-adjust pricing when the dollar goes back closer to parity.
I remember it took a while for electronic stores to re-adjust pricing after the dollar increased. They must have made a killing then.

I wonder if MS decides to reduce price now. Maybe they'll see how they do with Halo and if it doesn't have the desired effect, reduce in November.
If you want the game and that particular PS4, duh?

PS4 isn't a Wii U. Exclusives games are tiny fraction of what people buy these consoles to play.

Star wars bundles at 349 (basic) /399 (LE) are going to sell great.

Saw this coming from a mile away. Hopefully the Taken King bundle is $350 as well. Been trying to convince a friend to jump in for a while.

Exactly. PS4 still doing great @399 so there is no need for huge price cut even though there are no big first party games but they have biggest 3rd party marketing deals and bundles, so they can take another $50 when their big games are getting released next year along with PS VR.
They have more exclusive then the main competitor so what's the point?
Heh it was that price on Amazon 2 days ago.

Already amazon (and another seller bestbuy ?) was selling at this price

Nice, looks like Sony is going to win the holiday season pretty handily.
So you're saying the X1 should be around $150 then?

I don't know, sometimes I read GAF hyperbole, and it's severe even for GAF.

Take a bow, Gopher. You were right. 
But for the other "people in the know" talking down to others (not just disagreeing with) for believing a ps4 price cut was coming this year, smh...

Can't wait to see reaction if Xbone will win October and the Holidays
People waiting for Xbox to win months must be very thirsty by now.
They better drop the price again because it can't compete(win) at the same price as PS4. Maybe this month with Halo, but definitely not going forward.

WiiU has plenty of great exclusives should be $499, Beard-logic.

Man, Sony must have good announcements in store for Paris Games Week and PSX to announce this now and not at those events.
Tempted to get another PS4, but have no idea how that will work since do I download everything twice? Just choose a primary?

The silence is deafening from those who were adamant the PS4 wouldn't receive a price drop because Sony was 'winning'.

Tim Dog is already preparing his pitchforks
.I still say they didn't need to do it.
There are many reasons why they would drop the price.

Looking forward to seeing how these cuts relate to the UK?
Will look to get a PS4 next year when UC4 and Horizon are out, would love to pick up a PS4 and a game (or two) for about £200

It should. The same happened when the xb1 was reduced for 50 for the Call of Duty AW 1 TB bundle they had about a year. Some were able to get to credit back.

Boom. Time for me to join back into the PlayStation Nation.
What? They just released a revised model.
What? They just released a revised model.
That would be nice. Looking at 2016 line up it may be the biggest PS4 year ever.
Expected once the official cuts started elsewhere but props to those who called it even earlier than that.
The division between PS4/XB1 sales really was getting too narrow in US and it felt like time for Sony to use price directly to drive further demand.
Should be interesting holiday period. I still figure XB1 will sell more in US but that doesn't really matter so much as what the gap is if they do. So long as Sony remain overall ahead by decent margin come 2016 they're in good shape IMHO. Being ahead over 2 years into the gen in US should mean they can hold the lead throughout so long as they remain competitive in the market.
Post holiday period the lower price with bigger exclusives finally starting to arrive (U4) should help them too.
I think XB1 will do well too and enter 2016 in respectable position in US but while the lead isn't huge I'm really thinking Sony is going to manage to hold them off fully closing the gap now.
Although there's still plenty of years to go yet so who knows MS might still find a way of closing the gap in the end.

Those same revisions could be used in a newer model/case.
I feel like 2016 is when we see the slim version.

Probably didn't want to lose momentum over the holiday period, like last year.
And Microsoft have had a much, much better year than last in regards to consumer perception..
