Actually, the PS4's Price Isn't Dropping in the UK

Not yet, anyway

Uncharted The Nathan Drake Bundle PS4 Price Drop UK

Remember last week when Sony seemed to suggest that the PlayStation 4's price was dropping in the UK? Well, it's not. The manufacturer told Eurogamer.net that its Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection packages – which will cost £299.99 for a 500GB model, and £329.99 for a 1TB edition – are taking advantage of a promotional price point.

"We would like to clarify that the pricing of the Uncharted PS4 bundles is actually a promotional price that will be available across a selection of retailers for a limited time only," a spokesperson said. The system's already been reduced across Asia, with Europe and North America surely to follow next. This may not be official yet, then, but we still reckon that a global reduction is on the way.

Does that bring my purchase forward? I have no idea. Sony make up your bloody minds and stop farting about like you normally do. I aint got much money so I'd like some commitment so I don't spend more than necessary.

So I'm guessing this means we won't be seeing a price drop in the states either. At this point, I'm not even sure if they will do promotional pricing here. It's sad to hear because a price drop would have influenced me to get one this holiday season. I guess I'll just wait until next year when I have more money.

@wiggleronacid - "I guess I'll just wait until next year when I have more money"

And Uncharted 4 and FF15 are out. OK, that last one is wishful thinking, bu tI feel pretty good about U4, after maybe 1 more release date delay into June.

@rjejr Yep, by the time I get mine there will be plenty more games available. And you're right, you can never be too sure when games will release even when they have a release date. I mean, Nintendo just delayed Star Fox Zero two months before its big holiday release.

@wiggleronacid @rjejr Same here. This is why I'm waiting until Black Friday 2016 to own a PS4.

Mainly because hopefully even the 1TB model will be $300 New by then, even if it's just a limited time deal.

Not shocking. Outside of Japan, PS4 is actually selling, I don't expect a price drop until next September at the earliest unless European and North American sales fall off a cliff.
