really? so english people pay £60 for new AAA games?

Nah, we dodge that at least. I was joking really, well, kind of.

Actually, they're getting better. I remember that PlayStation 3DTV was like a straight currency icon change I think. To be fair, I think it's a distribution thing, I remember EA giving a pretty exhaustive reason why the first Rock Band cost some insane price.

I think PS4 will be £350 and $450, which really isn't so bad, we'll see.

 

[Persona86]

£45.99 - £49.99 for new AAA releases.

In expensive shops like game yes, but online 30-40 luckily.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Or at least that’s what a reporter for The Sun believes

What a fool believes

 

[nickcv]

THE SUN WHAT THE FUCK NICKCV

well, it's not a stealth thread, it's right there in the title =P

 

[Betta Lines]

If it's a penny under £349.99 I'll be very surprised.

 

[Acquiescence]

It won't be £300. It'd be great if it was, but it won't be.

 

[Shion]

€399 is what I expect.

 

[Acorn]

IT WOZ THE SUN THAT PRICED IT

 

[red731]

I will wait for The Earth's response when the time is right.

 

[Superflat]

£300... If only, man. It'll be announced at 399 imo, if we have a bit of luck on our side.

 

[Endo Punk]

In expensive shops like game yes, but online 30-40 luckily.

And that's why I will stick to Amazon for PS4 games and why GAME will go out of business next gen. They didn't learn anything the last time they were in serious trouble and now deserve to go under if they don't change their pricing.

Doesn't Amazon get away with paying little to no tax in the United Kingdom? Or is that Starbucks? Either way, a bit hard to compete with that sort of competition.

 

[TGO]

it better be, Sony said they wouldn't price it high, that doesn't mean the UK still gets $599
PS3 was 400, so it BETTER be nowhere near 400, if US gets it for $300 we better on th low end of 200

 

[Log4Girlz]

The Sun is full of hot air.

 

[Certinty]

Unless Sony release more than one model, this is never happening.

If Sony release one model it'll definitely be £350+.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

The Sun is full of hot air.

Well page three certainly is.

Spoiler

I know that's what you meant.

 

[Taker666]

It won't be £300 (unless there's a massive price war).

If it's $399 dollars..it'll be 399 euros then it'll be £349.

If it's $499 dollars..it'll be 499 euros then it'll be £429

A $399 price for the basic version isn't out of the question. It's what the 360 was at launch this gen..and Sony no longer have to deal with the crazy launch costs of blu ray.

 

[Kaako]

So, £400-500 confirmed then?

 

[RaGMasTeR90]

 

[daxgame]

well, I had a good laugh here. Obligatory "I want to believe".

 

[DJMicLuv]

Shit! What's that strange shape in the sky? Fuck me! It's only Jimmy Hill!

 

[TriGen]

It would make sense to announce your price/release date before E3 if you're not waiting until November to release. So this adds up with the April/early-May thing. My theory has long been that with a new PS and Xbox coming in the same year one would release before November, to get a little jump, but November is still the safe bet. This is only me talking about the release date, that reporter is certainly low on the price, and I don't think really knows anything.

 

[waypoetic]

"Or at least that’s what a reporter for The Sun believes."

Uuuuuh-huh.

*leaves thread*

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Already debunked.

http://johnnycullen.net/2013/04/03/the-sun-playstation-4-to-launch-in-october/

The Sun might as well be a banned source. Horrible tabloid garbage.

 

[TGO]

£349 I can see max, £399 will be pushing it into PS3 launch price territory & £429 with no crazy launch costs of Blu-ray as you put it, Sony will be sending the PS4 to die at that price.

So, £400-500 confirmed then?

Sony is doomed confirmed if so

 

[Brinbe]

Loll the sun... now I expect it to be double that

 

[maverick40]

Lol saw it was the Sun newspaper and then left.

 

[Mindwipe]

I will wait for The Earth's response when the time is right.

Given it's snowing again, the response of the Earth seems to have been to shift out of the sun's orbit.

EDIT: Also, the Sun? FFS.

 

[Valnen]

US $450 is more than believable. It's probably the safest guess you can probably make.

 

[Seep]

How is this shit-rag not banned on GAF yet?utter trash.

 

[El-Suave]

Ubisoft saying Assassin's Creed 4 will be released on PS4 on Oct 31st probably is more credible. They're also taking preorders for the game on PS4 with that date. Doesn't need to mean much, but still...

 

[Valnen]

How is this shit-rag not banned on GAF yet?utter trash.

Why are you getting legitimately angry? That's not healthy.

 

[kurtrussell]

Interesting.I was going to pass on the PS4 this gen, but at this price I will definitely think twice.

However, as a reputable source, the Sun is not renowned for its journalistic integrity.The only British newspapers worse than the Sun are the Daily Mail and The Guardian.

 

[Lakitu]

How is this shit-rag not banned on GAF yet?utter trash.

I was wondering that myself.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

tfw>someone cites The Sun as a respectable news source above anyone else - even Putin has more credibility.

 

[kharma45]

Why are you getting legitimately angry? That's not healthy.

He'll explain better than I can, but it's to do with the Hillsborough disaster.

 

[Az]

Why are you getting legitimately angry? That's not healthy.

He is right, though.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Wait, wait.

Has anyone on GAF mentioned "October" and "£300"? Could we be the"experts" mentioned in the Sun source?

 

[BigDes]

What had the Daily Fail said?

PS4 delayed because of gay immigrants

 

[Kun Aguero]

October = Guesstimate, £300 no doubt = Guesstimate. Nice to see the sun doing their usual sterling job of passing on the facts.

 

[Seep]

Why are you getting legitimately angry? That's not healthy.

You might want to look it up. Then you'll understand why.

I'm not surprised UKGaf is trashing The Sun. It, and the Murdock press in general, is truly awful and deplorable. But I guess its your thing to be the thread's devil's advocate.

 

[Baleoce]

This is the journalistic equivalent of a GAF thread being made quoting me, saying PS4 is going to be £300 after hearing it off a mate down the pub.

 

[Ce-Lin]

The... Sun ? as in the-sun.co.uk ? they only show news about UFOs, football and nude celebrities, basically they know s*** about videogames, gtfo please...

 

[kurtrussell]

You might want to look it up. Then you'll understand why.

Relax, guy. Everyone makes mistakes.

Two facts to consider:

1 - Everyone working at the Sun with direct responsibility for that article is long gone. It's the same paper in name only.

2 - Whilst the Liverpool fans certainly WERE NOT the catalyst of the disaster, you can hardly say they were entirely blameless.

Horrendous newspaper

Definitely this. Don't believe a word.

Wow. Despite what I think of this post, this isn't the time or place.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

And the mate down the pub being a pig-ignorant far-right win tosser with an unhealthy obsession with tits.

What did the fans do wrong ?
