PS4, Xbox One SA pre-order pricing goes live

AWX and Phoenix Tech have the PS4 and Xbox One for pre-order with expected South African prices.

 

[bokka1]

The prices are still above my R5000 threshold.

 

[Ike_009]

The most expensive bread-board in SA

 

[Lothy]

Amazing and the xbox 360 was launched at R3699...

 

[Glordit]

PS4 or upgrade my PC. . . Leaning towards PC at the moment. Unless the price drops a bit.

 

[PatPion]

O my, that's painful. And people still ask me why I prefer PC.

 

[steaksauce]

It's just about the price I was expecting.
At least there's enough time to save up R7000...

 

[Isengard]

Nope 5k will be my limit. I don't mind waiting for the price of the PS4 to drop if I have to.

 

[DieGrootHammer]

That's going to be a hard knock... And the Rand is not going to help the price going forward I fear.

 

[Deceptor]

I'll wait for the official pricing before making up my mind.

 

[Hagan]

So, so pricey.

Xbox One?! Really?! Is Microsoft dan mal?!

Can buy a very large LED monitor with that money.

Edit: I think it's pretty clear that if that IS the final price structure for the console, PS4 will definitely sell more units. If however, more Xbones are sold, I'll be -- f*cking shocked, quite frankly.

 

[Dohc-WP]

thats almost double the 360 launch price

 

[Tydmors]

Jip i will have to wait for the 1st or 2nd price drop

The PS3 debuted at 6300 and even then had decent sales for the first few months (60 gb backwards compatible model)
