It'll probably be a good few months if not over a year before we see prices at that level, at the moment the install base just won't be big enough for the retailers to drop prices that far.

I guess we may see launch titles dropping to that level as the next phase of PS4/X1 games come out next year.

Can always try and get some bargains 2nd hand from the MM/other classifieds on forums. It isn't like a 2nd hand game is any less quality. It's how I bought most of my PS3 titles. This is perfect, unless of course you must get the game on launch day :D

Is the current game price the final price. £45+ seems steep?

I solve that issue by shopping at Amazon!
Pre-order waaaaaaaaaay in advance and take advantage of price drop promise. I pre-order pretty much everything of even slight interest as soon as it's up to make sure IF i decide I want it on release then I pay the lowest price.


For instance, BF4 w/china rising £40 as an example.


Hell you even get lucky sometimes. I got Uncharted 3 for £25 on release day because they slashed the price for an hour or less at some point. lol


So if retailers are already selling PS4 games at £40 (if only for a brief window) then the prices will dip below that before long.
 
Well I must be only one NOT EXCITED anymore about ps4.
Will have it on day one but....
I dont see any game to play on it...

After they pushed drive club there is 0 interesting fgames on ps4.. And rest i can play on my pc.

So i will be using ps4 for playing movies... Bored of copying them on pendrive to watch from tv :P

Doesn't need to be wireless tbh, not fussed so long as the wire is long enough.

Just want something decent so I can chat to people online.

Resogun is meant to be top notch, and Contrast, there's also Warframe too.

Killzone is just for the eycandy I think, but should still be nice to see the PS4s capabilities.
 
Are people expecting games to stay around the £50 mark? Seems ridiculous to me. I know that when the N64 launched they were £60 plus, but that was in the dark days of carts!

I never really complain about the price of games these days for this reason. I paid £65 for Street Fighter 2 Turbo on the SNES back in 1993, (I think) and even paid £150 for an imported copy of Mario Kart 64.

Gaming these days is a bargain seeing as how much more expensive they are to make these days.

People complain about a lot of things when it comes to games these days and clearly none of them were gamers back in the 90s!

'game takes 30-45s to load' - try 30 minutes+ Commador 64!
'games are £45' - £60+ 20 years ago....
'games are only 6-8 hours long' - errr, most games pre-PS1 era were about 60-90minutes long once you knew what to do

I know that's no reason not to want improvements, or cheaper, better and longer experiences but I think maybe growing up in that era lowers your expectations!! lol

I'm an ex ZX speccy owner. The number of times I waited for Back to the Future to load its 4 cassettes only to be greeted by a load error was infuriating!
 
I had a 48k spectrum with a dodgy cassette player, I had to hold the lid down for the entire load sequence which often took a good few mins. If I flinched, I had to start again.

It was like gaming foreplay.

contrast and warframe are also on PC and nothing against resogun, it's a fun looking indie game but its not why you spend £400 on a console. never been a killzone fan myself so that's not really a selling point for me but might be for some. I always tell myself to wait 6months after release before buying a console and have to say with the lack of good exclusives for either console it's been rather easy to stick to that this time around.

I know a few people in here were considering swapping the HDD for a SSHD or SSD:


Boot
Default 25.67s
Hybrid 20.3s
SSD 19.5s

Knack Disc
Default 39.67s
Hybrid 33.67s
SSD 34s

Killzone Downloaded
Default 60s
Hybrid 42s
SSD 39s

Resogun Downloaded
2/3 of a second difference


Looks like I'm going to buy a 1TB SSHD!

That's like saying that books are bargains nowadays compared to when there was no such thing as a printing press. It doesn't mean that artificially inflating the prices is a good idea.
