Local online retailer Takealot has put up its pre-order price for Sony’s upcoming Playstation 4 console.

The retailer has price the 500GB console, which includes one Dual-Shock 4 controller, at R6,299.

That puts Takealot’s offer at exactly the same price-point as Kalahari’s, which launched its price on Tuesday (27 August 2013).

This lines up with the RRP set by Ster-Kinekor, official distributor of PlayStation products.

Mario Dos Santos, CEO of Ster Kinekor Entertainment, said in a press statement on 21 August 2013 that he is confident the PS4 will arrive in South Africa before Christmas, with an expected retail price of R6,299.

“The price point, although not officially set due to the uncertainty around the Rand exchange rate, is currently planned at an RRP of R6,299 including VAT and it will not be beyond this for launch. Retail will be communicated to plan at these levels,” said Dos Santos.
