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

$690 in Sweden, so I'll spend the next month eating nothing but rice.
Or just not buy the expensive machine until three years have passed. ;_;

Actually.... PS3 games haven't been that much in ages, unless maybe if you get it from EB games but yeah your own fault. For example, GRID 2 a brand new game on PS3/360/PC is $70 at jbhifi:NoeL said:

And that's not the only example, so if you pay $110 or even 100 for a PS3 game then your being ripped off (collectors editions aside). Which is why I dislike CoD as their usually $120, I refuse to be ripped off for games that are so heavily recycled. Thats all going by Australian retailers too, if you go online it can be cheaper again, so shop around
I was never planning on paying that much (or even getting a PS4, really), but thanks for the tips. Since I believe the PS4 is also region free you could potentially import a US copy for even cheaper again.RicoADF said:Actually....

Indeed you can, althought I prefer http://www.ozgameshop.com/ which imports UK copies and sells them here for far less than retail, but also means I don't need to deal with importing and am still covered by Australian consumer protection laws, get the best of both worlds.NoeL said:
Well hey, I'm sorry - I didn't realise you mean A$. I do have a solution for you though; import from the US because the PS4 is not region-locked. Yay!NoeL said:
since games are priced at 50 eur in europe as opposed to 60 USD but the console price is at the same number, I can get exactly two new releases for the 100 eur I save. and I'll have enough for a month of PS+ subscription if I'm lucky and get a good deal.
It's not backwards compatible. The part dealing with PS3 games involved an online streaming service utilizing Gaikai's methodology, so any local PS3 games you have wont run on the system. So if you plan on playing PS3 games, don't trade up the old system for the PS4.008Zulu said:
Sorry, my bad thought u was on about American dollars.RT said:
Aunt lives over in Australia and she does complain about the prices when she's buying games for her husband.
Prices are supposedly going up for the ps4/xbone
Nevermind, disregard my comment. I just realized your link was an Australian link. The signs are similar to USD so, yeah.NoeL said:
I will spend my extra $200-400 on gas, or rent, or whatever. I will have $200 because the PS4 is also a POS along with the Xbone. I was happy until I saw they were going the douchebag route and making PS+ required for multiplayer because they knew they could get away with it. >:[
