Support NeoGAF

[MaverickHunterX]

Coming this November for $499, £429 €499

No chance in hell! Even if they're holding KI and DR3 hostage...

Gotta love the forced applause from the audience after the sudden hush...

 

[synce]

$500 lmao, I don't know what else to say

 

[FlyFaster]

lol@$500

come on Sony, you can do this.

 

[Salsa]

teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrible

 

[Community Forum]

Ouch.

 

[quest]

So basically 650 if you want a game plus online play. There is nothing inside this box that justifies the price at all.

 

[Septimius]

So,

Americans pay $500
Europeans pay $660
UK pays $666

Oh, ok.

 

[BadWolf]

Just pull the trigger Sony, finish it.

 

[ymmv]

Entry price = 499 + Xbox Live Gold subscription ?

Nope.

 

[Mr. Fix]

But would GAF be okay with the PS4 being $500?!

 

[Kacho]

That's a really high price. Titanfall and Dead Rising 3 look very fun and interesting, but I can't justify that price for two games I'm mildly interested in.

Your move Sony.

 

[RoKKeR]

Too pricey.

PS4 HAS to be cheaper.

 

[Terbinator]

£429? MS, you aren't Sony coming off the back of the PS2.

 

[chico]

awesome... i just saved 499€. thanks MS!

 

[MetatronM]

There's no way Sony can't beat $500.

This is at least $100 more than I was expecting an entry level price to be for the machine.

 

[rekameohs]

Xbox won't be going home with that price.

 

[dragonelite]

They better supped up the specs because for 1.2 Tflops its pure Overpriced..

 

[ToxicAdam]

Should make a worldwide launch a lot easier.

 

[Lasthope106]

If Sony goes cheaper, then MS is in big trouble with the hardcore. I'm primarly a pc gamer, and nothing that was shown today convinced me to buy an Xbox One. On the contrary, I'm really considering getting as PS4 now.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Too expensive, I'm not paying that

 

[Kurtofan]

500 fucking Euros, holy shit, holy shit.

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

F off Microsoft.

 

[Projectjustice]

I called it! I knew Xbox One will be $500. The same with PS4. I bet you these are the lower SKU as well. Watch their be a $600 SkU too. Oh and lets not forget the GS bundles! HAHAHAHHAHA

 

[vDaedalus]

NOPE. Price seems a bit hefty considering the DRM stuff. Super excited for the PS4 conference now though.

 

[SolsticeZero]

Holy shit. I was more than prepared for $399, or even $449, but $499? Holy shit.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

right off the bat, on GT, they are defending the price.

"consumers are used to paying for things like ipads which are similarly priced" and "we don't know what all is in that box".

 

[Chance Hale]

Is 499 dollars really that absurd for people? Brand new generation and for better or worse packed in Kinect which went for 150 at launch as an accessory. Of course, some of the polices might affect the value of the console.

But hell, perhaps PC gaming has tarnished my perspective. My graphics card cost as much as this console does

 

[dorkimoe]

Fine by me. People are buying tablets and cellphones for more than that..yet a video game console is where you guys draw the line? I'm seriously so confused by some of you people

 

[Incendiary]

$499 seals the deal, no way I'm buying this ever. Not without some radical changes.

 

[Playsation_]

GET THIS SPAWN OF SATAN OUT OF HERE

Dat high-tech Kinect. lol. Overall, good show tho.

 

[brokenbeans]

Just pull the trigger Sony, finish it.

I love this.

Let's just ignore the fucking games.

 

[Krilekk]

They launched the original Xbox here for 479 € and reduced the price two weeks later to 299 €. Everybody who bought one before that got two free games and a controller. Wonder how many weeks it's this time. Microsoft has no idea how to price things right. Zune, Surface, Windows Phone, Xbox One, all killed just because someone fucks up the price. With what One offers both in power and DRM the highest I would pay for it is 299, probably 199. This is so far beyond the Yukon leaks, it's not even funny anymore. Don Mattrick will need a new job soon.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Ha ha ha hahahaha

 

[LegoArmo]

For £429, they can get completely fucked.

 

[-COOLIO-]

great conference but yeah, no way in hell i'm buying one.

 

[Router]

Lmao, Sony can undercut this easily.

they probably wont.

 

[bridegur]

Even if I were interested, that would be at least $100 too much.

 

[Diablohead]

£100 too much for me especially with that locked down DRM shit, some nice games but not for me right now, my 360 will live strong.

 

[jorgeton]

$500 for a box that won't let me even own my games. No thanks.

 

[Hattori]

NOPE NOPE NOPE, too much

 

[Tallshortman]

PS4 launches at $400 and it's over. lol $500 for that low end hardware is atrocious. MS arrogance through the roof.

Also, the fact that no one applauded until they signaled for it was hilarious. Even the shills didn't like it.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Expensive. I loved the silent reaction from people.

 

[MicH]

Jesus Christ. Wasn't gonna buy one anyway, but daaamn

You know it costs money to make things, right?

 

[Mpl90]

The conference has been very good, so many games showed between exclusives and multi releases...but that price. Considering the whole DRM clusterfuck...wow, it's massive. Why.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

I might wait a little while... But Crimson Dragon? Oh a purchase is guaranteed.

Its almost like its going to be the PS3 of next gen. Slow start due to price.

 

[Spongebob]

$499 for a ~1TFLOPS console.

lol

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

£429. No fucking chance in hell what so ever. No. Just No. Microsoft ur so fucking stupid.

 

[mrklaw]

for context you lovely guys in the US - that is £4 more expensive than PS3 was at launch. Nuts

It is a premium price for a half a generation jump. I am sorry but what in this box justifies the price? The mainstream video card 7770 or the 2 netbook processors or the DDR3 that is dirt cheap. This thing is way over priced and I wish them good luck competing with Ipads at that price level.
