Still too overpriced at $429.99 for us Canadians. My PS3 still serves me plenty well, see little reason to plunk down on this at all yet. Not complaining, just simply do not see the value.
Honestly plenty power too them, do what's fun in life and live within your means I say. It pays not to get caught up in consumerism IMO. Sony and Microsofts entire MO revolves around trying to convince people that they need their ultra premium priced products and the latest graphics, but really for me it's a matter of personal value and what you can get out of it and to me that's a simple measure of quality of software versus price point and finding a happy medium. To me the PS4 is just not there yet. I waited a good 4 years into it's lifespan before I considered plunking down on a PS3 and have enjoyed plenty of games on it since. If I have to wait 4 years into the PS4's lifespan to feel the value is there then so be it, I'd sooner save the money and invest. |

Hey, just a tip but this article doesn't exactly make sense. From the headline and the way it is phrased in the text, it seems to be implying that $350 US is $430 CAD. It isn't. It's more like $455 CAD. So it would be more accurate to say "PlayStation 4 Drops to $349.99 in US" and then just mention the Canadian price drop separately in the text.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, I'm certainly not regretting buying one of these at launch before the loonie plummeted. I wasn't sure at the time if I should just wait for the price drop but here we are two years later and it's actually more expensive even after the first big price drop.

gaming is a luxury.. it's not a necessity so for some they have to decide.. for movies and games you can rent so it will cost a fraction of the price of a new game internet- look for good deals to sign up. .also ask about Loyalty Program.. they will give discounts to existing customers instead of having them leave and sign up with the competitors according to a data report i read back then.. it will cost the company 6x more to acquire new customers vs keeping exisiting customers.. thus the existence of loyalty program $350 for a game system that i will use for the next 7-8 years is not a bad thing.. but personally i don't see the point of getting it yet since i'm still busy playing games on my ps3.. not the type of gamer who must have the latest things..so there's no rush |

I just wanted to say this: I have a hobby where used games most commonly sell between US$1,000 and US$3,000. I've also worked in a secondhand store enough to knowthat people will complain about an item's price until it's free. |
