No, its true. Nintendo prices for their consoles and games are worst as they wont drop or offer any good deals in retail and eshop compared to PS4/XB1 offers. You can game huge library for cheaper price in PS4/XB1 in contrast you are limited to Nintendo library at higher (Premium) price if you want to game using their console.

We just got a large shipment of 500 GB BOIII bundles yesterday, which was suprising. It's the normal PS4 bundled in with BOIII. Sony is doing a much MUCH better job keeping us stocked this year compared to last year...
I feel like that is the bundle that will be 299 going into Christmas since ndc and star wars bundles promo is supposed to end on the 19th
Mmmmh... Got to wonder if that bundle won't be the big $299 push after the 19th...
Seems that last year they had only so many consoles produced, but supply has been crazy this year.
I still can't believe they had (possibly) more than 1.6m available to sell in Nov in the US alone, which in theory is something like 30-40% of their WW market.
Oh, so that's their plan? Battlefront bundle to get people with Eps. 7 hype and then BLOPS 3 through xmas?
Interesting, if they make the COD bundle $299 for Xmas i'm thinking it will be even more effective than the Battlefront one.
No need to link i can confirm this across all Portuguese retailers.
Dont you think time for launching COD BLOPS 3 bundle is gone? isnt it a bit too late.

It was soooo busy last night (even with the Patriot's game on dammit) that I didn't get a chance to scan it and check. It was set for a special either this week or next, so I'm assuming it will be in next weeks flyer. Looked like a disk copy of the game though..
Not in the slightest.
Christmas is the time for gifts, it's the perfect time for that kid or casual gamer to buy or be gifted the cheapest bundle possible that includes a title like the newest COD.
Yep, nothing in Spain. Maybe next week, biggest week of the year.

true but when you think about it, didnt they sold almost what they made that year? i bet if they had the capacity to make 3M GTA5 bundles they would have done it imo
that BO3 bundle is sure going to do well, i wonder if amazon if gonna get that kind of stock as well? NDC is already sold out (sold by third parties but not for a $300 price tag) on amazon so maybe that will replace it
In Italy they announced the promotion on the blog:

But it seems they're handling this on a regional basis.
Italy, Germany and France are confirmed to have some kind of promotion with a 299€ PS4 right now.

Sony simply MUST put out a Naughty Dog Bundle next Christamas for $400: Uncharted 4 (plus DLC if available) + The Nathan Drake Collection + The Last Of Us Remastered. $350 would be even better of course.

Yeah
PS4's will be $300 and under by this time next year. There's just no way they can charge $400 again.

So according to Amazon, this has officially ended.
Guess no extension going into the holidays from Sony

Which probably also put the rest the speculation that the price will be officially cut to $299.

Probably so. We'll see if PS4 sales collapse in January like they did for the Xbox One last year.
I think Sony figures their strong Q1 lineup will carry them, and perhaps they're right. They could still see YoY gains in Q1...afterall, PS4 is still $50 cheaper than last year and it has SFV, UC4, etc.
Amazon, still is selling the Stars Wars Bundle for $299. Look under additional sellers. For some reason they have a third party seller listed instead of their own price.
Because it's out of stock on Amazon.
True, didn't realize it. Its OOS until 12/26. Even though you can still get it for the $299 price.
Mercy.
But the greatest line.....ah never mind.
I wouldn't be too concerned. I believe MS announced an extension of their $50 off sale and Sony is bound to follow suit with the cod blops bundle.
So I don't know how indicative that is, but the reduced price is still live at some amazon sites.
Amazon FR still has the regular 500GB black console for €299, and even a bundle with ACS at the same price. Amazon DE has the 500GB for €279 even.
But I guess some retailers might keep it at that price if they want to, regardless of the "official" end of the promotion.

Yup Best Buy made large shipments all the up to yesterday. We also were told to hold for sale until today
Ha, didn't know it ended later over here. Fair enough.
you mean US$299 sale for PS4 extended for one more day after 19th?

Best Buy has a $50 gift card with purchase this week.
Correct. Base price returns to $349 now, but our bundles offer a $50 GC... So it's a higher base investment, but you could turn that around towards a game, or something, and make it a similar cost base - It still requires you spend $349 first, which comes with the limitations of the higher price.

Picked up my star wars bundle and gta5 for 30 bucks at target. Total was 370 with PlayStation plus card. So glad I waited!
Same plan with NDC bundle for Black Friday week.
