Check camelcamelcamel but in general it seemed to be pretty rare.
There have been some really good deals lately. The Star Wars Battlefront II model is the one to watch for if you don’t mind Star Wars gunk on your machine. They’ve been trying to get rid of those (since the game was a bust) and I’ve seen it go as low as $349 with two extra games included on top of Battefront II. NewEgg seems to be the place to check, both on their site and on eBay where they unload that kind of thing.
I got mine a couple months ago for the normal $399 but it came with Dragon Ball FighterZ which was brand new at the time. I’ve seen better deals since.
The current eBay NewEgg deal…
Yeah, best bet seems to be eBay when they run a coupon that applies to consoles.
If you stick around on v4.55 firmware or buy a old bundle PS4 that might be that version, you could at some point in the future be able to install custom software onto it, like a media center, region free bluray, console emulators, game cheats etc. But it might take a while or never appear at all depending on what people manage to develop.
Downside is that you cant use it for online gaming anymore.

Aren’t all Blu-rays basically region free? I guess Japan and North America are the same region now so that means region free for me.
At the launch of Bluray, when there was competition with HD-DVD, a lot of BR’s were region free. Once HD-DVD lost the battle (Thanks Microsoft!) we started to see more and more region encoded Blurays, unfortunately.
When I bought my PS3 from the US there was no problem buying BR’s locally, until it wasn’t possible anymore.
Posted in the Bargain Thread, but I suppose people might not look there… PS4 controllers are $36.99 on Monoprice.com today. Gold or blue in the Daily Deal.
Ha, I guess nobody likes the gold or blue ones, eh?
I was able to get in and order a blue one earlier, but Monoprice is apparently garbage and doesn’t recognize that the street address I plugged in is correct, even though it accepted it as the billing address, so I had to have it shipped to my parents. Still worth it for a $37 DS4 with free shipping, though!
They had red ones too. Those were sold out by the time I posted. My kids needed new ones so this was a great deal.
Let the furious PS5 speculation begin!
This sounds more like they’re going to discontinue the vanilla PS4.
No, they won’t be doing that.
My only requirement is that the next PS console give us true 4K at 60fps, consistently across the board on all new games. Not sure if that will be possible in 2020 at a $300 price point.

Don’t these consoles usually open at about $600-$700, and that was years ago?
It’ll likely launch at $500, and it seems completely plausible to offer real 4k at 60fps at that pricepoint in late 2020. Hell, the XboneX is a bit under halfway there today.
