Price of Playstation 4 = PRICE OF OIL?

It seems to me like the standard retail price for a PlayStation 4 console was floating around the $400 mark.. Now I actually want to get one the best deal I can find new is Target $488

Ridiculous.. Should I be checking the in store prices…? Or is there something I have missed?

    $400 was on special… what you compared it to was the bundle price.

    You can clearly see that the specials were all at different price points. If anything, the bundle price is actually not that bad considering, though the game choices aren't to everyone's cup of tea.

  • yes, you missed the deals
    n don't think there would be any more deals any time soon too
    i heard PS4 has consistently been the top selling console for the past few months

  • PS4 with 1TB (instead of original 500GB) released in July - August, check which model you are comparing

    • BTW i saw a poster at HN stating they have an exclusive 2TB console coming soon. Anyone know if Sony is actually bringing out a 2TB version to specified retailers or if HN is just chucking in any old 2TB HDD they can find or whether this is all BS?

  • Well, see, oil is useful in modern day so this is an unfair comparison. Similar to the PS4's game catalog however, oil is made up of the remains of ancient things.

      lol. I like it.

      To the OP, I wouldn't rush out and get one. I like my PS4, but I think I could have just as easily waited.

  • I'm in the same boat as OP, need to get a ps4 before MGS gets released 1st September. Sucks that the price went from 400ish to 500ish.

    EBGames has 1TB PS4 + 2 games(Arkham and GTA) at $578
    JB has 1TB PS4 at $549

    I have a $1000 gift card from JB gifted from work, need some ozbargainers advice on whether JB would price/deal match EBGames and give out those 2 free games at $578.
