The thought of going back to multiple SKUs sounds so dumb.

PSEye bundle?

Forgive me, I totally disregarded bundled accessories (Vita included). I was simply thinking about the hardware in the PS4 itself.

If it included BC, I would probably be all over that.

Well like I said, unless it includes the Vita.

Well like I said, unless it includes the Vita.

If it includes the Vita as a bundle, then that makes sense.

and it wouldn't shock me if they do... they will "sell" more, that way

GI.biz - PS4 to launch with 3 models, most expensive at $599 [rumor]

Microsoft today announced a hefty price tag for its Xbox One console launching this November: $499. Sony, however, may be going higher than that, as GamesIndustry International has learned from a source close to the company that PS4 may launch with three versions, the highest being priced at $599.

The details are expected to be clarified at Sony's own E3 press conference this evening; it's currently unclear what the main differences will be among the PS4 SKUs, but our source said that Sony's looking to push 4K resolution technology as a "stepping stone" to glasses free 3D.

While cheaper versions of the PS4 (possibly as low as $399) will make a purchase much more palatable to the average consumer this holiday season, it's somewhat surprising that Microsoft and Sony are pushing hardware at such high price points. The PS3's launch at $599 back in 2006 was a very sore spot for the company, and console manufacturers are facing increasing pressure from other platforms, including tablets, smartphones and the PC itself with services like Steam. $499 and $599 will be hard to swallow for many.

Will the new console cost $599 to start?

I certainly hope not. I think we’re very proud of what we delivered with the PlayStation 3 in terms of technology, and that we were able to enhance the features while still reducing the price to $249. But I think our goal with this is to debut at a more consumer-friendly price. But we haven’t made any final decisions about what the price will be at launch.

Consumer friendly price means not 500

500 is more consumer friendly than 600, and that's all that quote said they are trying to do. I hope its cheaper though, that will make my decision very easy.

I'm expecting $399

Yeah, 1 sku to end it all. I'm sick of these multiple sku's.

If Sony can come in at $399-$349, that could make MSFT maybe adjust their price. If it's consumer friendly, then $399 is where they need to be.

MSFT isn't gonna change their prices (or change anything) due to Sony. They aren't even aiming at the same crowd as Sony.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Which ever SKU is the most expensive Ill be getting most likely.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I expect $400 for the lowest version and $500-550 for the highest. GB isn't a big thing for me as I don't ever download too much, so I hope i'm right.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Zero desire for a VITA like device.

I will want the best console PS4 has available...so $500 is what I'm ready to spend.
