Sony officially announces PS4 price drop, effective this Friday

As expected, Sony will be dropping the price of the PlayStation 4. Effective this Friday, October 9th, the new price of the base PlayStation 4 will drop $50 to a cool $349.99.

"Our goal at PlayStation has always been to provide the best gameplay experiences at the best value, and we feel this new compelling price will open the doors to even more gamers that have yet to purchase a system," said SCEA VP of Platforms Marketing John Koller.

The price drop won't only apply to the standalone PlayStation 4, but to previously announced bundles as well, including the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection bundle and the multiple Star Wars PS4 bundles. The Limited Edition Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 1TB PS4 Bundle only received a $30 price drop, and will be available for $429.99. Here's a quick breakdown.

Bundle (Release Date) Current Price (MSRP) New Price (MSRP) (effective 10/9)
UNCHARTED: The Nathan Drake Collection PS4 Bundle (10/9) $399.99 USD / $449.99 CAD $349.99 USD / $429.99 CAD

Thanks again for remaining the best fans in gaming, and we look forward to many

I'm assuming those who pre-ordered some of these bundles that have yet to release will be able to take advantage of these discounts as well.
