Should I buy a PS4 now?
I'm thinking of buying a PS4 right now, but I'm worried that the price might drop. Does anyone know or heard of any price drops coming in the next few weeks or months? Thanks that would make my decision a lot easier.

Interestingly enough the launch price of the PS4 (500GB) in Canada was 400$ CAD, the current MSRP is 380$ (1TB) CAD, folks who bought in at or shortly after launch got a pretty good bargain.zod wrote: ↑ I always thing the best $$ per how long you're going to use the device is to buy it earlier rather than later. I've had a ps4 since the year after it came out. Prices aren't that much different now. That's a lot of usage for 50 or 100 bucks or whatever it's dropped so far. I think I've gotten good value by having the console that much longer during it's useful life.

Why do some of you people do this 2 months after all the Black Friday deals? Black Friday was your opportunity.Lookingfordeals911 wrote: ↑ I'm thinking of buying a PS4 right now, but I'm worried that the price might drop.

Buy one now at Shoppers Drug mart when they have Friends and Family 20% off or Senior's Day 20% off.Lookingfordeals911 wrote: ↑ I'm thinking of buying a PS4 right now, but I'm worried that the price might drop.

So you think saving tax of 13% or whatever it is in your province is better than saving 20%? I think you need to buy a calculator rather than a PS4.Lookingfordeals911 wrote: ↑ What about that no tax at superstore?

If you're tight on cash then you might want hold off until the summer, as there could be another price drop of the PS4 Slim. I doubt the PS4 Pro will get a price drop, but you never know. Also, keep in mind that more than likely PS5 will debut in 2020 Q4. Rumour has it that it'll be backwards compatible with PS4 games, so you could always pick-up some PS4 games that go on sale later on. I know there's no guarantee, but Sony knows that the fans would be outraged if PS5 isn't backwards compatible.Lookingfordeals911 wrote: ↑ I'm thinking of buying a PS4 right now, but I'm worried that the price might drop.

... Days Gone isn't out until April, so unless there are other games your want to play, you've got time... I think someone on the Hot Deals forum posted that Shoppers was going to have a redemption deal though, so you might not have to wait long.Lookingfordeals911 wrote: ↑ Yeah might just.

Think I'm going to stick with the pro just because of the longevity and the bigger fan and better build quality. I will also be future-proof. MTC sounds great and cheap and all but I've read some pretty bad reviews on them. But thanks for your input.tigerhawk33 wrote: ↑ If you're tight on cash then you might want hold off until the summer, as there could be another price drop of the PS4 Slim.

If I may recommend MTC Outlet, they have certified refurbished PS3 and PS4 consoles for reasonable prices. MTC was a place I used to go to in order to get some of my PS3 accessories to be looked at or be repaired.
I read your other post, and I wanted to share that I've pre-ordered Days Gone from Amazon.ca for $49.96, and I really want to play that! I'm into apocalyptic survival-horror games, such as The Last of Us, Metro, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., SCUM, DayZ Standalone edition, and State of Decay. Days Gone is one survival game that I've been itching to play, and since it's a Sony first party game, you know there's not going to be any BS microtransactions or cash-grabbing antics. The story and characters look really solid, and that's the type of quality gaming that I want to play.
