Grab a PlayStation 4 for R3999 this holiday

Recently, Microsoft dropped its Xbox One pricing for the holidays to just R3999 for bundles. A 500GB console, with a game thrown in? That’s a great way to sell some systems. There’s no denying that the local console market isn’t where it should be, and that’s largely down to pricing. Paying R6 000 for a console is fair bit of coin for a luxury item in this economic climate.

With the recent, fan-focused PlayStation experience bringing the hits in a big way, you may have been hoping that Sony would step up to the plate in time for the holidays. Who wouldn’t want a new PlayStation 4 for Christmas?

Step up they have, with two new deals that’re sure to be responsible for a PS4 or two under tress this festive season.

Here they are, ripped straight from the press release:

“The first promotion will commence from 9th to 14th December offering consumers who purchase any standalone or bundled PS4, a FREE copy of EA Sports FIFA 17 on PS4 resulting in a saving of up to R1200.00.

Immediately following this consumers will be able to pick up the brand new standalone PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system with a 500GB HDD at an astonishing R3999.99 from 15th -24th December.”

In short, if you buy a PS4 Slim at its regular price from 9-14 December you’ll get a copy of FIFA 17 for free. If FIFA isn’t your thing, and you just want to save a bit of cash, you’ll be able to pick the system up for R3999 from 15 December to 25 December.

These deals will only be available from participating retailers, which should include just about any retailer’s you’d actually use: Animeworx, BT Games, C.N.A, Dion Wired, Game4U, Game, Incredible Connection, Musica, Makro, Raru, Takealot.com, ToysRus and Toyzone stores.

    The PS 4 BETA still performs admirably for those wondering how it will handle games like FF15 😛

    I’d love to get one, EXCEPT I’d prefer a 1TB, and I don’t have R3999

      I got my 1TB at rAge for R3999. It was the Uncharted collection bundle. Looking back it was actually very cheap xD

          They probably just wanted him to get away from them, so they took the first offer to get rid of the pinkness

            It’s not pink, it’s salmon.

            Ottokie, do people often say you “smell you later”?

            They do. But that’s mostly cause of my sweaty feet

            Is it a bad time to say that I don’t like horses xD

    They often bunch the FIFA games with the consoles as a bundle. Are they unable to sell those games by themselves?

        FIFA is one of the best selling games worldwide, even excluding bundles. I’s bundled often, because it’s an attractive value proposition.

    I have to buy a console for Johannesburg for the two nights I am there. I am not going to get DSTV for two nights so I will rather play games all night long on Mondays and Tuesdays… I will pick this up and transfer the games I already own to the new one and then postnet it to myself in January. This is good news for me!!

        It is either that or getting DSTV for two nights… What else am I going to do without my wife and kid on Monday and Tuesday nights. Also gaming is how I escape my world and relax so that I can face another day. So I picked buying a PS4 instead of DSTV.
