Re: The PS4 thread
well shit I just impulsively bought a PS4 some guy is selling brand new units on Ebay for $360 with free shipping http://www.ebay.com/itm/351092748955
Re: The PS4 thread
Better than 399 that I bought mine at. And hopefully you've had ps+ and grabbed all the freebies so you'll have some great games to play at the get go(I know most are indies but they're fun 
)

Re: The PS4 thread
I don't even know what to buy on it, I'm thinking the new Wolfenstein game looks really awesome on it. Either that or watch dogs. I do have PS+ already for my Vita and PS3.
Oh and Far Cry 4 looks frigging amazing, loved FC3 and I'm sure FC 4 will look loads better than the ps3/x360 versions.

Re: The PS4 thread
I'm telling you grab ps+ freebies, I was doing that for the longest time with ps3 before I got one earlier. Now I've got a decent library for it, and honestly the indies once you get past the fact that they are indies they're pretty decent on ps4. I just need to get around to showing my ps4 some love and playing the indies that I do have on it. My backlog is huge on every system I own and just gets longer with every growing day...kinda frightening...

Re: The PS4 thread
PS3s are $270 on Amazon. Now can some one explain to me how is it that a 2013 console costs only $90 more than a 2007 console? That price difference is almost that of a new gam.ninjainspandex wrote:well shit I just impulsively bought a PS4 some guy is selling brand new units on Ebay for $360 with free shipping http://www.ebay.com/itm/351092748955

The regular price of the PS4 is still $400, and the Destiny bundle is set to be $450.RCBH928 wrote: PS3s are $270 on Amazon. Now can some one explain to me how is it that a 2013 console costs only $90 more than a 2007 console? That price difference is almost that of a new gam.
The $270 PS3s are all game bundles (ther's a Lego LoTR one, an Amazing Spider-Man one, and a Last of Us one). The base model PS3 is $200, but it's the 12GB model.
There's a chunk of the system that's dated tech to be sure. What I'd also consider, however, is that there's also a bunch of parts that aren't necessarily any cheaper to put in the old console. Sony doesn't produce hard drives, for example, so a 500GB drive is a 500GB drive whether it's sourced for a PS4 or a PS3. The cost difference in the BD-ROM they put in either is probably negligible. Plenty of I/O or other controller chips likely aren't very different. Either controller still needs to pack in a lot of the same stuff. A battery, sticks, motors for rumble, whatever. Any licensing fees for video codecs or whatnot still apply.
It's going to be hard to reduce the build cost of a PS3, or a 360, the same way that past generations were.
Re: The PS4 thread
It's very easy to get a PS3 for sub-$180 these days, $270 is too much to pay.
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended...so the world might be mended.

Re: The PS4 thread
Plus, I suspect that the PS3 is still in more demand than a cheaper 360, which is why it can command a higher price even used. The PS3 still has a lot of life left in it.

Re: The PS4 thread
Doesn't Sony sell PS4 systems at a loss and make their money selling the software? I don't see much point of Sony lowering their prices on PS3 to have the lose more money especially when they are trying to get people to move to the PS4FerretGamer wrote:Plus, I suspect that the PS3 is still in more demand than a cheaper 360, which is why it can command a higher price even used.

Re: The PS4 thread
Nope, the only company selling hardware at a loss so far this generation was Nintendo (though it isn't anymore).ninjainspandex wrote: Doesn't Sony sell PS4 systems at a loss and make their money selling the software?
