Rumor: Sony PS4 price cut is imminent

2015-10-06 15:00:23| Extremetech

If leaked online listings are to be believed, Sony plans on dropping the MSRP of the PS4 from $399.99 to just $349.99 -- a 12.5% discount. And considering that this generation has seen the return of the pack-in game, this is an excellent price point for the upcoming holiday season.
