How many scousers post here?
I mean I see 'Liverpool', 'Sony Distribution Centre' and 'CEx' together, and I draw offensively stereotyped conclusions.
I loled.

...specializing in entertainment/tech/questionable in store music choices and smells.
Also Sony couldn't sue CEX for buying them... they haven't acknowledged it's real or even that it exists so a claim like that wouldn't hold any water.
Their markup comes from their allowance of trade in credit for goods. By marking up their prices they're able to take in a lot of product that Game do not.
If you're looking to point to someone it's not CEX.
My reasoning is simple.Are you a lawyer? Just curious.
Can't really comment on the smell but we play a wide range of music from the 70's to current charts.So happy you included this. Why is it every single one stinks and plays awful abrasive metal/happy hardcore? Why is there no median?
Not sure where you heard that mate - but you heard wrong. I have it on good authority that it's £50.
Either is likely. Sony seems to be kinda stuck since any more overt action or calling out the stock as stolen would reveal it's real. They should just reveal it at this point.
That'a a terrible argument and wouldn't have a chance of standing up in court imo. So despite the packaging and the device itself being labelled with Sony everywhere, you think CEX could get away with 'we didn't think it was Sony's machine, and because we'd never heard of it, it can't be stolen'?My reasoning is simple.
CEX are buying these off people. Sony decide to take legal action against CEX for buying stolen goods. How can Sony possibly prove CEX knew they were stolen when there wasn't any indication from Sony that units had been stolen in the first place. CEX would just say "Hey we thought these were snide Chinese copies or consoles that were modded by fans".
It'd literally be impossible to prove beyond reasonable doubt that CEX knew they were stolen. Something which you have to do in front of a court and judge.
The law doesn't require proof that the offender knew they were stolen. If they can be proven that they would suspect they were stolen that is enough, say consider an unannounced console. That they thought was Chinese knockoffs would not hold as a defence either since CEX sells them as PS4s which is them acknowledging that they are real. The court examines the facts and determines if they would believe they could be stolen.My reasoning is simple.

All it'd take is a 'misplaced' container. This sort of thing has happened before with Halo games being nicked from the factory. The difference is that MS publicaly went and said the theft took place whereas Sony wants to publicaly deny these units even exist and is probably resolving this from the background.You think a large volume of units being stolen - without the press hearing about it - is likely?
It's a Pawn shop...
No it's not.
It pretty much has become a pawn brand. As I've said earlier in the thread, cash converters are generally more competitive now.
The only difference at this point is that CEX doesn't give you an opportunity to buy your stuff back before it goes on sale to the general public.
Yeah CEX is notorious for buying literally anything off people, no matter how dodgy it seems. Not sure how they get away with not abiding by stolen goods laws, must be some sort of legal loophole.
Not even just leaked prior to the announcement, but sold. Embarrassing.
What I really can't believe is that they'd still sell any models with a 500gig hard drive, let alone new ones. Gotta make the 1tb in the Neo look good by comparison I suppose.

If there is no 500gb entry model they can't sell a 1tb model for more. It's classic price discrimination.Not even just leaked prior to the announcement, but sold. Embarrassing.

Considering the PS4 slims are not up for retail sale then the units are obviously stolen from the distribution centre.

If that price is accurate, that basically means a $399US price point which does not surprise me in the least.
Price cuts from Sony this gen have been practically non existent.

Obviously. There's literally no other explanation.
Apart from all the other explanations.

Lol"Today we are announcing the PS4 Slim. $299. It was available two weeks ago!"
*confused applause*
This is so fucking insane. Has this ever happened before?
Paying £380 to get a... PS4. lol.
Yeah sure, people get excited about shiny new designs, but it is genuinely a PS4. No tangible upgrades, and only potentially minor cost savings on electricity. Of which you're never getting those savings back in the inflated price you've just paid.
People can and will do whatever they want with their cash, so allow me to morph back into an old man yelling at the clouds.
500GB is just about enough given the tie ratio consoles typically have had in the past. I don't know what they're like for this gen, but I can't imagine a huge deviation.Not even just leaked prior to the announcement, but sold. Embarrassing.
