£400 for the price of the console is the max some of you will pay? Is that just for the console or are you wanting 2 games as well? 
£300 = instant, day 1 must-buy.
£400 = grudging day 1 buy, whilst muttering under breath
£500 = I'll wait for price reductions, and pray that MGS5 is released on PC.
£600 = Buy an XBox out of spite.

Just for the console. I'm assuming the games will be priced similarly to they are now.
It all depends on how good/bad the next gen is. I'll wait to hear a bit more about them before I make a serious decision.

Did Sony say they were bundling the PlayStation Eye with the PS4? Or is it not known yet?

Hope not. The less they include that could end up bumping up the launch price the better.

I've not heard anything about it. Hopefully it won't as it will be a feature I probably won't use that will just add more costs to it unnecessarily IMO.

Amazon have put up the PS4 for pre-order...... £599.99granted its a placeholder price. But still I hope its not that expensive
Absolutely bonkers..... I just couldnt bring myself to spending that much on a console. I'd sooner wait for the price to drop a little.

My 360 cost me £300 and came with 4 games. (Oblivion, Gears, CoD3, and Project Gotham Racing)
If the PS4 is going to cost £400, it had better come with at least two AAA games. I'd accept MGS5 as one of them

Placeholder price people, stop being so over dramatic, it's the same for Xbox One.

Were just talking about what we would all think as being a reasonable price.
I don't think anyone is being dramatic.

I swear hearing new console news is like taking speed for some people.
ORLY?

I predict the xbox will be cheaper than 400.00.
I have a feeling MS plan to make money through xbox live and other online services
Soldato
Yes RLY... I just couldnt do it... Think of the children

you do know consoles are usually sold below cost price. so even at £400 they will be making a loss on them, there is no way they are then going to be giving away another £100 on top to everyone.
£400 for a quality piece of hardware is literally nothing.
What i dont get is people are happy to spend hundreds on the latest Iphone that does nothing more than the last, yet moan about the price of something that has been improved, does stuff new and doesnt need to be updated every 6/12 months to have the latest.
I think it will come bundled with the PS4. Why else would all the controllers come "move" compatible. Also, if it comes bundled, then the devs know all PS4s will have "move" and make more and better use.
Sony will learn from the 1st move addon. Not many bothered to get it, thus devs couldn't use it much.
I want to see the cameras come with the PS4.

I paid around £420 for my PS3 I think? Surely the PS4 being a similar price at launch would be no surprise?
Whether that's 'true' or not, I think you're mistaken if you think many people are going to consider £400 as 'nothing'.
This isn't the Graphics Card sub-forum, we don't all wipe ourselves with £50 notes
£300 - £350 is the sweet spot both the XBox and PS4 should be aiming at.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but this generation costs are down. They are both using low-cost AMD SOCs. Blu-ray drives are vastly cheaper today.

it seems to be the mentality on here, people are willing to spend £400 on a graphics card, phone, coffee grinder, slr, air rifle, etc but not on a console.
people have been complaining constantly for the past 6 months about the price.
it's something which is going to last 5-10 years, therefore £40-80 a year overall, yet they are happy to pay £30+ a year for xbox live, completely stupid imo.
