Sony has temporarily reduced the price of PlayStation 4 to £329.99 for this weekend only.

GAME, Amazon, Tesco, Asda, Argos and *********** have each reduced the black 500GB console to around the £329 mark, knocking £20 off the usual retail price.

If you're interested in grabbing one at the lower price, though, be sure to shop around tomorrow or Sunday. According to Sony, the price cut is only valid this weekend, with the console expected to return to its regular price on Monday.

Hmm... maybe they will do one here to?

 

[herod]

Amazing that shop to are still banned while all the multinational tax dodgers and boom/bust gift voucher invalidators are allowed through.

 

[Salvadora]

Amazon has had the standard PS4 at that price for a long while

 

[jelly]

Xbox One is £329.99 for comparison.

Sony testing the waters to curb any swing to Xbox.

Great bundles for £349 anyway which makes this deal kinda pointless unless those bundles drop to £329.

 

[Kysen]

Doesn't cod come out on Monday, surely the pricecut should be during the week instead?

 

[popo]

It has been available for £300 online for a while. You can get it with cod, destiny, last of us and a year of ps+ for £399.. Cod and lou £350.

so now those places can lop another £20 off. It's not rocket science.

Why did they get banned?

 

[Acquiescence]

Lol, ShopTo are still banned?

 

[herod]

Why did they get banned?

they had a security breach five years ago

 

[dc89]

ShopTo need unbanning now imo.
Sony had a security breach not so long ago, lets ban them.

The Age of Sony and Microsoft keeps changing with each passing day.

It shall now henceforth be known as the Age of Sony in Britannica and it's kingdoms, whilst The Age of Xbox One has begun in the United States of the World.

Where is that bundle still available? I only see one with AW, Destiny and TLOU with one year of plus for £399.99 from Game.

This.
A lot of companies bigger than shopto had these issues and none of them is banned...

Gawker had a breach, ban Kotaku!

Spoiler

In fact, let's do this

Weren't some heated words (threats?) exchanged between Evilore and the guy who behind ShopTo?

so?

 

[Kyoufu]

so?

Threats to take legal action, AFAIK.

Sony going for the Halloween weekend sales. Just in time for pay day.

I'd say that's reason to keep them banned, especially when I''m pretty sure those threats/heated words were in response to the credit card leak being talked about on here.

 

[Calverz]

The momentum is with the Xbox one in the UK right now. The christmas game lineup is well better!

That's why Origin is banned, because they had a security breach and EA threatened legal action over leaked Mass Effect 3 details.

Wait, what?

That's missing Destiny and the year of plus.

Still a decent bundle though. Sony aren't beating around the bush with these bundles.

 

[Rich!]

Shopto have been amazing for me for the past year.

They had a security breach two years ago. So what? So did Sony, and thousands of others. They are reliable, ship out their games in time (usually before release), have great customer service, and have a superb reward system.

I would reccomend them any day. But being banned on GAF is not my decision, of course.

Sony didn't act like an immature idiot when it happened. They're banned for a reason.

Wait, what?

Did EA threaten to take legal action because we had a thread/discussion about their security breach?

No?

Oh...

 

[spwolf]

there was some talk about DC+ another game bundles across europe... i saw ebay action for FIFA+DC for €399... i am waiting for PES + DC bundle and I am in.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

No, they just didn't tell everyone affected their details had been breached for weeks.

Did EA threaten to take legal action because we had a thread/discussion about their security breach?

No?

Oh...

It's a false equivalency and I know it, but other companies have had more serious security breaches, and other companies have also threatened legal action over more frivolous reasons.
It does feel a lot like the lack of any European gaming mods (AFAIK) means noone gives a shit about a major retailer being a banned website, and the ban doesn't even work because shopto just gets mentioned anyway, you just can't link people directly to offers.
