For those buying PS4, what will you spend your extra 100 bucks on?

[Jinxzy]

I'm going to pay 5 kids $20 a piece to hold a humorously written sign urging people to not buy an XBone and have them stand in front of the five retail stores here in town that you can buy game consoles from (A Wal-Mart, a Best Buy, two GameStops, and a place called Vintage Stock which is basically a GameStop that also sells comics, TCG cards, DVD's, etc...pretty much a full-fledged nerd store, really a great place. ).

I'll chip my $100 in so we can have a total of 10 kids, but we have to make sure that they look sad and the signs are written in crayons. It would be adorably sad and funny at the same time.

I'll wait until KH3 comes out, then buy a used PS4 and some exclusives. I have waited 8 long years for this and it is finally happening.

 

[JetFury]

I won't. Waiting a couple years will save me money on the console and launch games will likely be under 30 dollars on amazon. Of course it's never safe buying games when you have plus. So I'll have to be careful not to be ripped off in that regard. Backlogs will be nonexistent for me next gen

The games.

[BreakfastMan]

Moar games for my PS4, obviously. Probably pick up another launch title and hopefully some launch indies (if it launches with any). I mean, what the hell else would I spend it on? XD

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

If I even get one, the PS+. It'll probably be more expensive for me in the long run than the PS3 with paid online.

That's pretty much what PS3 games are now. EDIT: Oh wait shit, apparently they're generally $100. Maybe only some are more. Well, good thing they support used games.

I see... I'm glad I don't own a PS3 then!

And you wonder why they're having such a problem with used games. I wonder if they could double their sales by dropping the price to 80 bucks... probably not.

 

[The_Great_Galendo]

If I were to buy one at launch, I'd put the extra hundred bucks towards games, probably. Because who buys a console for just 1-2 games?

Then again, my strategy is usually to wait a year or more, until it's much clearer in my mind which one I want and which games it'll have that are worth it. Plus, around that time there's usually a price drop, which is usually good for another 50-100 bucks. The launch titles aren't usually as good as the games that come out later in a system's life anyway, once the developers finally figure out how to make the best use of the console's features.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

I'm not saving anything. I just don't have to magically come up with another $100.

 

[FieryTrainwreck]

I feel like, even though I'm spending $100 less with the PS4, I'm somehow getting less, too. So I'll buy the biggest hammer I can find and hit myself in the crotch with it every so often. Then I'll spend the remainder of the $100 difference on a crappy camera and a bunch of blank tapes pre-addressed to the NSA. This should properly replicate the XB1 ownership experience for roughly the same amount of money.

Do you see the giant fucking letters where it says "Placeholder Price"? That means that it's subject to change!
Shock horror!

Anyway I doubt I'll be getting one on release, so I'll save a bit more cash from getting it later on more likely.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

I'm gonna blow it all on hats.

Seriously, it's just another $100 towards a Vita, Persona 4 Golden...aaaaaaand whatever else I will think of when the time arrives.

Thought they were more like 60 $

 

[Andy Shandy]

Maybe money towards getting a Vita?

Perhaps, PS Plus, or a couple of games.

Of course I saw that - I'm not an idiot. But what makes you think the price is subject to change for the better, especially considering, as MeChaNiZ3D said, that PS3 games are currently selling at the same price? I mean, you must obviously think it WILL change for the better considering your contention, but why do you think that?

 

[GoaThief]

An Ouya?

Despite being fairly critical of the Ouya, the temptation is there just so I have an excuse to stick yet another console in the cabinet - then brag about two consoles for the price of one, of course. ;-)

'Stralya, land of ripoffs.

 

[Keith K]

I don't drop $400 on something and come out feeling like I'm up $100.

Pizza, beer...

It's gonna be a good week.
