PlayStation 4 to cost £300, reports The Times

We'll know the truth tomorrow, hopefully.

$500 is too much, i'll play my ps3 for awhile then.

I don't even think Sony will release the specs of the machine tomorrow. They don't wanna announce specs and then MS has a chance to improve the Xbox's specs before their announcement next month. They're just gonna announce the console exists and some features it'll have.

British newspapers haven't been tapping into peoples' phone again have they?

This has to be one of the last places I would look to find an estimated cost of a console... just below, "Tramp asleep on the bench in the park"

Although they probably won't announce prices at tomorrow's event, my prediction is Sony will release 3 SKU's; a $400.00 model w/120GB, a $500.00 model w/500GB, and a $600.00 model w/1TB.  And, the higher costing SKU's will  also include additional downloadable game(s) and perhaps another controller to entice consumers.

No way I would buy above $399, and they shouldn't expect many other people to either

I'll wait until I see the info officially before I believe the figures but if there's even a grain of truth behind this, that's a really aggressive price point from Sony.

I love Sony and I'm really looking forward to this announcement tomorrow.....but as a consumer and gamer I expect to see reasonable prices and more game variety besides an onslaught of polished shooters for this new generation.

Like I said this system needs to be $399 for Sony to have a chance.  

And people complained that $350 was a lot for a Wii U.....smh....

I would rather pay $599 and get a better machine

I want a PS4 right away. But I was bit in the ass last generation for buying launch consoles, so I'm going to wait until 2014 - 2015 before buying.

I'm really looking forward to the PS4. It's going to be hard to deter me from putting it on my wish list.

The next Xbox will be on there too so long as certain changes are made to Xbox Live. Getting the Playstation first this time.

 Im expecting more of this come the 20th

$464 isn't bad if you consider the original launch price of a Playstation 3, which was $600 in  2006.  I'll still probably do my usual "wait a year" until more games start rolling out for it (and perhaps a slight price drop or other incentive, like the Sony store deal where you got a half dozen blu-ray movies with the console AND a $150 credit if purchased with a Sony credit card).

i paid full price for xbox 360 and ps3 atlaunch, so the price would not deter me if given enough advance notice of price and where and when i can buy, im not rich either, so if its gonna be this expensive for the next gen system sony better have alot of manufacturing plans already getting figured out big time, with a new console close to the price of special bundle systems currently they will sell like hot cakes, i know for fact since i bought ps3 i wasnt married to a fellow gamer so i only waited all nite for one. but now we will either be pre ordering online if possible or camping a walmart or kmart somewhere days in advance for two.

$464 to $450...... that's a lot!!!!

I like this price very much! :)

Hmm $464 does sound reasonable compared to the $599 of the PS3. After it is all said and done you will still be paying over $500 for the system alone, then you will need a game or two. So ya the price will still be in the high 500's when its all said and done.

Still a heck of a lot cheaper than a decent sized ipad. 

And "The Times" knows this because?  Oh wait, that's another BS rumor, without anything to back it up.

I look forward to getting one soon and I hope I will be able to play all my current PS3 Games

Having the initial price was one of the first mistakes Sony made with the PS3 though they probably saw it as mandatory given how new the technology was back then. A reduced price (If it actually happens) would show that Sony really is learning from it's mistakes and is pulling out all the stops to make the PS4 a success straight away.

I don't think I'll be able to wait-2-3 years before buying the new console like others here have been saying. It's better for your wallet and overall game library, but it requires a lot of patience, I just don't think I'll be able to resist all those new releases. Also, if it's compatible with ps3 games then its a huge plus. Please make this happen Sony!

Rumours.

Thousands of them!

will they stay with idiotic trophies, or at least make game levels worth counting past level 12?

£300 for a PS4. Or £400 for a PC that beats the PS4 into the ground for the next decade.
