I'm gonna throw up.
Highly doubt it. Release information will probably be saved for E3.

Not only is it pretty close, it is almost exact by today's exchange rate.
$429 = ¥40,223
More than a coincidence.

No you dont need $1000 to build just any PC but if you wanna play games on PS4 levels get ready to pull out the wallet.

I wonder if they will increase the price of PS+.
Smellovision. You'll love it!
They are pretty much direct conversions of the 40000 Yen price that was reported earlier.
Highly unlikely, there's no need to. They'll want to see how the announcement goes down with public and the media etc.

That hasn't worked out well in Europe though, outside of the UK, and would be more disastrous at the same price point and released at the same time.
probably wont announce anything that people wouldn't want to hear until near launch.

they'll announce that they're raising game prices to $70 so we can just round up to 500/600.

Nintendo waited until about 3 months from release to announce a price. Not sure why Sony needs to rush. Plenty of time to see if Microsoft shows their cards first.
Maybe MS (and Sony) have cracked the code for getting content to their European customers.

Thinks mods influence posters politics. Promoted to QAnon Editor.
They don't need to, they have a different subscription model that give them the talking point of free online and generates plenty of revenue. If anything, PS+ has been such a success they are going to push it more and expand it, not copy MS.

Xbox Gold is getting a bad rep but it has soooooooo much content that is exclusive on their videogame console like free UFC before the main PPV !

I dunno, you can buy a lot for 1000 dollars. Especially if you go barebones on the case, hdd, and optical drive.
There'll be a mic on the camera.
The controller appears to have a headphone jack if you want sound to be private.

How much of a success has it been?

I wonder if "most" means apps that are available free elsewhere. It'd be pretty funny to have to pay to use netflix on ps4, and it's free on ps3.
I will be shocked if they don't have an sku at $399.

Bingo, plus has been a big money maker for them. So they are going to sweeten the pot a lot with social features and game streaming, while at the same time keeping their free online chip.

Well I owned a 360 until it died on me a few months ago (my 2nd one) and I said in another thread I will pick up a Durango after a price drop. In fact you won't find anyone whose less of a fanboy than me, but if having your avatar Kazyfied makes you a raging fanboy then whatever.
I'm out of here now.
Please explain this further. I take it you're an expert on Japanese culture?
That's why it's difficult for me to take this singular source that Kotaku is propping up an believing it. Anyone could piece together this information, the direct conversion of yen to dollars with a $100 surcharge is a good guess. I think it may be the case of a dev that knows one thing the dev-kit controller and the codename trying to pretend that he knows how everything will work.
Would a developer, who would risk his job to take pictures of the controller before its announcement, know anything about Sony's pricing strategies for its consoles and new soon-to-be controversial subscription service?
Sony would rather have several hundred million dollars in subscription revenue than a bullet point for console warriors to spout.

what do you guys think makes up the $100 difference? HDD, 10 HDMIs, Q-sound, full PS3 BC, free copy of Critter Crunch?
Persona 4 was released in Japan as Persona NUMBER THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED.

So about the cross game chat...There's no way it happens, right?
I mean we had reports of it being in the dev kits and I thought MS had a patient on it. That's why we got insanely dated text chatting cross game.

If you look at past sony console launch price, you will find that they never, ever do direct price translation.
For example, PS3 euro launch was 599 euro, in US it was 599 US dollar. By applying exact exchange rate example Euro one should've been below 500.
If Sony launch $39,999 yen for Japan, you are guaranteed to see $399 price in US and 399 Euro in Europe. Mark my word.
