Clearance on the non-slim consoles starting Thursday:

PS4 500GB Console (black or white) - $329
PS4 1TB Console - $359

The above don't come with any games; these are just the consoles on their own. This will only be available in store and not online. There aren't too many 1TB consoles around but a fair few of the 500GB Black consoles available. I cant see the slims getting to this price any time soon (just my opinion), so if you have been waiting for a cheap console, now may be the time to grab it.

          Unfortunately, I won't have it on the main TV and our new house doesnt have a play room, so need one in each bed room. Otherwise it will only go in one of their rooms, and they are 13 / 14. They will kill each other over it.

          Agreed to pay for half of both of them, then they can pay the other half. That way they might appreciate it a little more. And I get peace and quiet to watch my TV :D

    I'm in the minority who prefer the original ps4 design over the slim. Unless you're waiting for the pro (meh) I'd definitely recommend it at this price.

    • ruddiger7 on 13/09/2016 - 16:19

      I prefer the original look too. Scorpio will have 2 teraflops performance over the pro though. If they are similar price range jt will be hard to justify the pro.

      • brendanAUS on 13/09/2016 - 16:38

        Yeah I won't be in a rush to to purchase the pro. Idk, these mid cycle console upgrades aren't doing enough for me. Proper scorpio reveal should be interesting though, thats a true upgrade.

        • serpserpserp on 13/09/2016 - 19:39

          Yeah but why wait for what might be when there is something you can get really soon that will blow everything away and actually have good games?

        • brendanAUS on 13/09/2016 - 19:56

          @serpserpserp: The same games that will be released on the standard ps4? I don't have a 4k tv either so there really is no need to upgrade till either my ps4 dies or I buy a 4k tv.

        • serpserpserp on 14/09/2016 - 20:29

          @brendanAUS:

          By that rationale isn't scorpio just a upgrade too? After all it'll play XB1 games too.

        • brendanAUS on 14/09/2016 - 21:11

          @serpserpserp: How do you know scorpio won't have titles that will only run on scorpio? The facts right now are that the original ps4 will be able to play all the same games as the ps4 pro. The only advantage Sony said the Pro has is upscaled 4k and HDR. Unless you have a 4k tv you won't be seeing any benefit.

      Even though that overall I like my PS4 a lot better than my Xbone, I think Forza is a lot more enjoyable than any other racing game series I've played. If driving sims are your deciding factor then I'd say go for Xbox.

    • StickMan on 13/09/2016 - 18:28
      +1

      No, Slim is same hardware.

      PS has Driveclub and Gran Turismo (when it arrives…). Xbox has Forza's, Forza Horizon's, potential for reboots of Project Gotham Racing etc.

      Xbox also has force feedback triggers on the controllers, which are pretty damn neat.

  • [Deactivated] on 13/09/2016 - 17:08

    • serpserpserp on 13/09/2016 - 19:41

      I think you'd be splitting hairs at a sub-$360 price point. I don't think you'll ever see a 1TB PS4 at say $300 this year. maybe not until XB1 throws up some competition.

  • a2swin on 13/09/2016 - 21:06

  • baggyred on 14/09/2016 - 00:18

    Kids have saved up their present money and now want a ps4 or Xbox

    I used to love computer games/consoles and had the original Nintendo and drooled over friends who had the Sega Mega Drive

    Now I have no bloody idea how it all works - which is better, how you actually buy/load games. Do you need a Subscription, how do you share games etc etc

    Damn this getting old - when did I stop being fun? :(

    Any hints/links to what these consoles actually do now would be helpful. I think I've read you can use them for Netflix/Foxtel etc

      • baggyred on 14/09/2016 - 00:32

        Done a heap of that

        But get a lot of mixed messages - also with all the console updates and mini updates it is a minefield

        I'll work it out - was just having an outloud sook

        • McFly on 14/09/2016 - 00:36

          I think the mixed messages are due to the similarities of the 2 platforms and their cheer squads.

          As far as the new consoles if you don't have a 4K TV (and not planning to get one in the next few years) I (and I think most) say forget about the new versions - I would just go for the cheapest (of whatever side you pick.)

        • Zidago on 14/09/2016 - 11:08

          They are both practically the same, so look at the exclusive games that interest you most and choose that console.

    • lunartemis on 14/09/2016 - 07:08
      +1

      I can relate to what you are saying. Being 38 with family means the last console I owned was a PS2 when my daughter was born. Now I'm thinking of getting a PS4 but no idea how everything works….

    • pizzaguy on 14/09/2016 - 10:03

      I bought PS4 some time ago, didn't know what to expect as well. Here's my subjective experience so far:

      • Local multiplayer/couch co-op is practically non-existetnt, as mentioned earlier in this deal. You either play alone (games have gone pretty cinematic, I'd say) or online. Most of online games require PSN subscription, however EA Sports games like FIFA don't.
      • You either buy discs which are required when playing, but can be lent or sold after you finish your game, or you buy online and download. It takes lots of gigabytes usually, you don't need to insert discs (however games don't load faster really), you can't sell them, but there's a way to share them.
      • PS4 has a touchpad on each DS4 - hell knows what it's for. But you can plug in earphones to the pad, which is convenient.
      • I'm pretty sure that the only game that uses the camera, if you're about to get one, is Just Dance.
      • There are not many apps, YouTube and Netflix are there at least.
      • There are "in-app" purchases in some games, but that's easily lockable, I think.
      • UI is shittier than ever, relatively to my phone, computer, the zeitgeist.
      • I expected better graphics, but I don't care that much.

      I still enjoy it somehow. However I'd surely enjoy PS3 with a shitload of $5 games and without unnecessary features.

        I absolutely agree to PS3, bought new in box superslim from GT with games, no need to worry about online updates, pop the disc in and start playing immediately, most important is games are all $5, don't care about online, only after campaign mode … last console own is PS2 almost 20 years ago, just to catchup all the good games on PS3 will take me another 10 years !!!

      • baggyred on 14/09/2016 - 13:30

        Hmmm…

        I have 3 young boys - local multiplayer is what it will all be about! Especially when dad takes no prisoners and hands them their arses in all the games :)

        Are you saying the PS4 doesn't do it? Or that most games don't really provide for it?

        They aren't hardcore gamers - they just want to be able play soccer and stuff I reckon

        Do you know if you can run plex through a PS3 or PS4?

        • pizzaguy on 14/09/2016 - 13:42

          Plex is both on PS3 and PS4.

          Not many games provide local multiplayer, there are some, however. FIFA, Trackmania Turbo, the upcoming Gran Turismo, Little Big Planet perhaps and you're good to go I guess. Not sure about lesser titles from PSN store - you might find interesting stuff there. Just don't expect much. See also http://www.co-optimus.com/

          Makes sense for such to occur with the original PS4.

          That was the logic, not some crazy number.

          LOL the level of daffness you posess is astonishing. No deal is for certain and considering they are both "consoles" being replaced by newer models, the clearance is expected to be the same. Will it be? Who knows, that's where the waiting is involved.

          Anyone with half a brain can see my original comment is valid. With the level of daffness you have provided here, I fully expect you to not understand 90% of this comment.

        • Zylam Marex on 20/09/2016 - 20:29

          @tranqme

          Why stop there, wait six months?

          That was your original comment, I don't think you understand what is going on here, these are clearance consoles, highly unlikely to last 6 months making you comment pointless.

          299 is a realistic figure, since we saw it happen with the Xbox One clearance items, and the Xbox One's RRP has either matched the PS4 or been more expensive, thus adding further weight to 299 being a possibility.

          Your comment added nothing.

        • magic8ballgag on 20/09/2016 - 20:43

          @Zylam Marex:

          This comment alone only confirms my last reply.

          I was saying that your price wish was unrealistic, I was saying that by your logic, waiting another 6 months to save an extra $50 would be achievable.

        • Zylam Marex on 20/09/2016 - 21:44

          @tranqme:

          Unbelievable, don't think you understand the word clearance, this isn't a new RRP, new models don't come out every year, this is a limited time reduction to clear out old models, what don't you understand about clearance?

          Either you don't have the metal ability to understand such or you know you've lost don't have the guts to admit it.

          Either way, you lose. There are facts to back up my claim of 299, as with the Xbox One clearance. You don't have anything.

          Later.

        • magic8ballgag on 20/09/2016 - 21:48

          @Zylam Marex:

          You're assuming I don't understand what you're saying because what I said went over your head.

          Again, and I can't believe I'm clarifying this for a second time, I never said that your clearance facts were incorrect, I was simply stating that by your logic, you may as well wait longer for a better price.

          Good night.

        • Zylam Marex on 20/09/2016 - 22:41

That's the crazy logic that I have deployed?
