I'm super keen to get a PS4 really soon, even with the "Neo" updated console expected to be coming along at some point soonish. It strikes me that all the marketing and bundles these days are for the 1TB version, but I've checked a couple of Target stores and they still have handfuls of the 500GB models scanning at $429…
Obviously nobody in their right mind would buy a 500GB at that price, when there's 1TB + Uncharted bundles for $499 etc etc. So I'd guess that it's only a matter of time before we see 500GB clearance sales.
EOFY is approaching, which makes me hopeful we see some great clearance bargains sooner rather than later…
If the 500GB model is available at the right bargain price, I wouldn't care about the Neo update,.. clearance pricing would give some buffer against any future price drops when the Neo is closer to release.
What are people's thoughts on my logic? I only wish there was a way to nudge Target - "Hey, buddy, y'know those 500GB PS4's that aren't going anywhere… make me an offer I can't refuse!"
Got mine from when Target dropped it down to $350, which they seem to have done quite a few times but unexpectedly. Mind you, I sat there refreshing the Ebay page for a week because I had bought a game without even owning a console yet.
