PlayStation 4 drops to $350 in the US

Microsoft has made subsequent price cuts for its Xbox One, taking it as low as $350/€350, and now Sony is finally lowering the price of its PS4 too, albeit only for the North American markets.

A few users felt they were tricked into buying Destiny: The Taken King when the game showed up on their PS4s, among the array of games they have already purchased. The new recommended price for a standard PS4 is $349.99 Dollars / $429.99 CAD (around €309).

“Our goal at PlayStation has always been to offer the best place to play at a compelling value to gamers”, said Shawn Layden, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America.

Overnight, Sony’s official Playstation Twitter announced that the PS4 will be cut in price from $399 to $349 effective October 9th, this Friday.
