Dang, they don't ship to Belgium, do they? Foe that price I'd gladly take the plunge.
Care to elaborate? I can't select Belgium as the delivery address...
sadly, i'm not in Germany.
checked Austrian mediamarkt, but no dice. € 299 for the slim sans game, here.
edit: if only the slim had an USB port on the back, for a cleaner VR setup. :/

I'd love to upgrade my PS4, but my sound setup is connected via Optical, the only slot gone from the Slim revision. :/
oh shit. they do ship to Austria :/
i might just put my original PS4 up for sale first and pull the trigger when someone actually buys the thing

Yep, saw the Amazon price and ordered right away.
Probably only gonna use it for exclusives, but I'm damn glad I can finally try those out.

Either they really want to push the numbers this holiday or the sales have been abysmal.

Update: Looks like it's either sold out or gone altogether... (http://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_playstation-4-slim-500gb-ps4-konsolen-2174051.html)
German Amazon also went back up to 299.
Must've been a pricing error and plenty of misinformation among staff.
Nah Media Markt had ads on TV for this running until the 16th.

sorry i was mistaken.
maybe it was limited
In Spain we got 2 crazy promotions last week
- Trade in your old 500gb ps4 +50 for a 1tb slim on Game, that lasted a day until they run out of units
- 1tb Slim + FIFA 17 295, that also sold out on many places but MediaMarkt has the promo still going on as of today

Glad I bit the bullet when I did. I'm ready for Horizon now. :lol
Why? It was just a promotion limited to a day or two.
I doubt these are reactive, more likely planned.Nachtfalke said:
Saturn was selling Starwars Slim bundle last week for 250Euro (comes with Episode VII BluRay and LegoStarwars Episode VII), right next to standard Slims for 299.
Slim most likely has a significant margin at MSRP (bigger than original did at 350), and retailers just have a lot of freedom to play with prices - this isn't unlike what happened with PS revisions before. Ie. I'd expect similar this holiday season in other countries too. Also the widening price-gap should highlight Pro catering to a completely different type of buyers.
Sony's regional teams do things rather independent from one another, whatever plans US has, wouldn't be affected by Euro pricing strategy.noobie said:
I don't think they are panicked. Sure the flood gates will be opened in November and December. Only then will we know if there has been a shift in those markets.

Missed it
Saturn also has some in stock. For 199 too.
Thanks, but not anymore it seems...

Yeah, the price went back up. With some luck you could find one direct at the store.
I went to the store today for some retail musing on PSVR, found a couple of PS4 Slims for 199€.
Sony didn't drop the price, it was MediaMarkt.
Amazon only reacted, they always do when MediaMarkt got a certain offer.
Whenever it is games, accessories or consoles.
That's not Amazon...
