Sony announced this week that the new PlayStation 4 Slim will retail for $299.99 in the United States. Good price, right? Well, it gets better, as starting 15th September, you'll be able to buy the diet device as part of an Uncharted 4: A Thief's End bundle – which will also cost you a meagre $299.99. Pre-orders are already open on Amazon if you fancy taking the plunge.
Unfortunately, those of you in Canada will be in for a slightly rougher ride, as the console will cost $379.99 CAD should you venture north of the American border – and it'll initially be bundled with NHL 17. Each of the packs will come with the updated DualShock 4 controller, which boasts a light bar across the touchpad in addition to other minor tweaks and improvements.

Yea, us Canadians basically have to get used to the advertised price being for the states. The pro is being pre-ordered at $499 CAD on ebgames/gamestop ( https://www.ebgames.ca/PS4/Games/725662/ ).
Let's see what the pro gets bundled with, though, if anything.
@Mega-Gazz Infinite Warfare and Watch Dogs 2 bundles for PS4 Pro this Black Friday. Bank it.
Canadian do some get rouher deals for pricing but some of the cheaper games on the PSN flash sales are the same straight $ price as US. Talking of Candian news we are getting Tim Horton coffee/donut shops in the uk soon.
Wow these are very good prizes! I think slim was good move from sony. Lets see what type of packages can reatilers make with ps/pspro + psvr + move + camera
I just want to know if the new slim controllers will be sold on their own.
Unless something happens to my launch PS4, I won't be getting a slim or pro.
@get2sammyb Now see, that's much better. I knew Sony would have to be insane to sell the slim for $299 w/o a game w/ Pro soon to follow. And U4 makes the most sense as it shows its for PS3 owners like me.
So is this a limited time thing or the standard bundle for the holidays? I'd still like to hold out until BF.
@Neolit More silent, better controller, less energy, less heat, smaller.
I may actually get this if I can get the money for it. I'll admit, I'm starting to fall for the bait.
And poor Canadians. I sure they wouldn't mind the hockey bundle, but at that price? Ouch.
Not as good as Tesco Ireland selling PS4's and Xbox One's for €175 last week
@rjejr There's no mention of when the offer will expire. I imagine this will carry them through until Black Friday, but that's just my personal speculation.
As they said in Dodgeball: How about we change it into Canadian dollars and save ourselves some money?
If I go ugly this festive season, I'm going all out with the Pro! The One S is how you do a slim version, Sony is aiming for people to get the way better proposition for just $100 more imo.
The original PS4 is by far the most value you'll get for your money and if clearances of stock lead to similar prices as we've seen with the Xbox One a few weeks back, I'm positive I'll be shipping lots of units to Africa the next months
The Slim has 5Ghz WiFi though which, given PS4s dodgy network throughput, is a godsend. I wouldn't buy another system just for that, but to someone just coming in 5Ghz is very desirable.
pre ordered in full.
Part of me wants to buy that limited edition Uncharted 4 PS4 before it gets sold out as I've always loved it and it's never been cheaper... But my wallet has feelings, unfortunately.
The slim is very tempting, but I can wait until the Pro is released to replace my current PS4.
Very good bundle (however I'll wait for black Friday/ cyber monday advertisement, because they usually throw something extra like an extra game or controller)
@wiggleronacid It's bloody lovely that Uncharted 4 console. I couldn't believe how sexy it was when I did the unboxing.
I recommend the blue limited edition Uncharted 4 console. It's gorgeous! 😍
I got mine with Doom and GTA5 included also.
Us Canadians always get hosed. I still miss those little country flags next to our comments too.
I'm waiting for pro. I read on destructoid best buy offering ps4 slim uncharted bundle (physical disc) + new playstation platinum headset (worth $160) at $300, that's a steal!
Edit: Of course it's already out of stock, that was fast.
@get2sammyb I might have to bite the bullet and order it tomorrow! I think this is the best deal for me since I absolutely love the color and design and I'm planning on buying Unchrted 4 anyway.
@Neolit I'm still undecided on whether you're a glass half full, or half empty kind of guy.
@wiiware
Yeah I was hoping they were gonna release that offer to the UK
Interesting...prices of video game goods have skyrocketed in Arizona. Gamestop is now selling Wii U and PS4 games for $79.99 here and the Wii U and PS4 are being sold at $389.99 here...what the fronk is going on with the prices?
this is better than fat bundle !
but still ugly...
I am going to buy both and stack them on top of each other It will then be a PS4Pro Plus
Im one of them people if something better comes out, i can't go and buy the norm. Like TV's...... as soon as the 4k came out, i couldn't justify buyin a TV with out it, and when 3D came out i couldn't imagine buyin one without the upgrade. So i would rather save a few more pennies and then upgrade to the pro. Have it as my main console in my room and with my original av that in the lounge. I don't see the point in buyin a console just because it's a bit slimmer. The original is sexy anyways. I would love it to be quieter though and i don't think they will manage to get it much quieter because it's the fans that make the noise and the fans are essential!
For anyone interested in the ps4 slim best buy is offering a ridiculously good pre order bonus for $300 you get the ps4 uncharted 4 bundle and a pair of the PlayStation platinum headset for free, not bad!
This bundle is only an absalute steal, if you steal it. You get a linear shallow corridor game with NO customisation and a pointless console. might as well wait and get the Pro for an extra £50. Steal my ass, sugar coated turd more like.
Oh Canada,
Why must our Dollar Suck?
@kellanved your dollar may suck but you do not get Donald Trump so think you are the real winners.
@get2sammyb: I'm assuming from the pics the bundle has the physical version of the game not a download?
I wonder if it is cheaper to order from the American website/dealership (PS pro) at 399$+ tax, rather than Canadian at 499+ tax?
