If the PS4 received an official price cut in the Middle East, does this mean Sony will announce a price cut at E3 around the rest of the world? Like it doesn't really need it, but holy crap, sales will go through the roof even more!!!

Sarah_Ch3287d ago

Unfortunately nope, cuz the price after the cut is 415$ while we can get it for 400$ since launch day.

ShadowGhost3287d ago

That's because of the currency in the Middle East compared to the U.S. even though the console is still cheaper compared to that region, but that still doesn't rule out an E3 announcement for a price cut around the rest of the world.

sonarus3287d ago

I actually feel like a price cut is rather likely for E3. Microsoft might try to drop off another $50 from Xbox for Holiday season perhaps to coincide with Halo launch.

DemonChicken3287d ago (Edited 3287d ago )

You do realise that it's still cheaper in the US

From article:
KSA: 1,649 SR - 440 USD
UAE: 1,599 AED - 435 USD
Kuwait: 124.90 Dinar - 414 USD
Bahrain: 164.90 Dinar - 437 USD
Oman: 169 Riyal - 439 USD
Qatar: 1,599 Riyal - 439 USD

That's around 288 GBP (as amazon UK) - 404 EUR (390 EUR amazon de)

IMO great for middle east as they finally reached (or almost near) our prices a year later, in our eyes mostly insignificant as in our price range =/

DarkOcelet3287d ago

Its funny though that even though the Xone was more expensive out there, it was actually cheaper than the PS4 when it was first arrived in KSA.

I believe i saw its price was equivilant to 420$ at the time and the PS4 was 500$.

KnownAsEpic3287d ago (Edited 3287d ago )

But we dont pay tax here so it is cheaper than in the US.

neoandrew3287d ago

Those countries have lower average wage than us, so it is actually even more expensive than the price diffidence in USD...

But not all of them, in UAE it is at least 5000 usd minimum monthly.

SoapShoes3287d ago

Possibly, eBay has it for $349 right now. Plus the Batman bundle in June is $399 with a brand new $60 game.

theIndianNoob3287d ago

Middle East is like the only place on Earth where a price cut was not required....(ignorant comment)

q8kik3287d ago

In a sense i agree.
Because there's really no competition, it's all Sony's turf.

MajorAly3287d ago

I disagree as I'm from the Middle East and mostly people here game on Xbox.

Gazondaily3287d ago

@Major

No way. Most KSA homies are Playstation nation.

q8kik3287d ago

@Major

Brother......some casuals will literally say "what's an xbox?" if you ask them about it.

Although admittedly, i'm talking about the GCC countries only (Kuwait, KSA, UAE, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar) i know nothing about the rest of the middle east.

DarkOcelet3287d ago

Thats nice, i was in KSA last month and indeed it was 1800 and the Xone was 1700 at the time.

Great to see the price cut is that good.

DarkOcelet3287d ago

My Avatar makes me sad :(

Days Gone, 5 Years Later

Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows901h ago(Edited 1h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot0m ago

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how the cherry pick who to give the benefits of the doubts to.

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno1h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak52m ago(Edited 43m ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.
