$700? Where the hell did that figure come from?

PS4 $400+tax
PS+ $50+tax
PS4 games 3x $180+tax
$630+tax
~tax = $50

~$680

Unless he was talking Canadian Dollars...in which case the above example would be more than 700 CAD

We pay 13% tax here.

Right but you wouldn't buy 3 games if you're getting the same ones for PS3, no?

its just an example...this is what I am assuming Dave is referring to when he says $700. He knows the price of the system. I would think if you are going to invest $400 on a new console I would hope there are 2-3 games you are interested in buying...otherwise you could wait.

Therein, lies the dilemma.

What's interesting is that EVERY podcast (except CAG, huge shocker) that I've been listening to, even the ones that have obvious preferences to all things 360 this gen, have said that they prefer the new Dual Shock 4 to the 360 or Xbox 1 controller.

PS3 Wireless Headsets work with PS4

Are we talking about the headset that comes with the PS3?

Are we talking about the headset that comes with the PS3?

There was no headset packaged with PS3. I'm sure they were talking about the official PS3 Bluetooth, but since it's nothing more than any other Bluetooth earpiece, that means that any PS3 headset will work, whether it be a Sony headset or third party.

I thought the PS3 started coming with one a while back. Could be wrong though.

Some might've been bundled with them, but for the most part they didn't com with headsets.

On Tuesday, we reported that someone was selling a PlayStation 4 on eBay for the astronomical sum of $10,000. There were also at least two prospective buyers, or "watchers" as eBay calls them, who were tracking the item. Apparently someone actually ponied up the 10K asking price to get their hands on this PS4. Check out the photo below.

Note the little "SOLD" marker on the item image. We wonder why someone would pay such a grossly inflated sum for a console that costs $399. It's worth noting that the page indicates this was a Launch Edition PlayStation 4. Launch Edition PS4 consoles are guaranteed to be available once the console ships.

Considering that this person paid $10,000 for a Launch Edition PS4, it's safe to assume that they wanted to safeguard against shipping delays relating to supply, demand and availability. However, Amazon is once again offering "Launch Edition" PS4 bundles for prices ranging from roughly $460 to $500 after they were sold out for some time. It's possible that whoever bought the above PS4 didn't know that.

The only good explanation for making the above purchase is that the buyer saw that the seller indicated they would donate some of the profits generated from this transaction to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. If that's the case, then good for them. However, a better move would have been to pre-order a PS4 Launch Edition bundle on Amazon and give the remainder of the $10,000 to a charity of that person's choice, be it Children's Miracle Network Hospitals or something else.

The PS4 is slated to be released sometime this holiday season, likely before Black Friday.

What's the most you would pay for a PS4 and why? What do you think of the above prices for the PS4? Sound off in the comments below.
