Limited edition consoles such as the Star Wars Battlefront and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 PS4s have also received a price drop of $50 (around Rs. 3,300). Here's a full list of the new prices.
A few weeks back Sony had announced a price drop for Japan and a US price cut is the biggest indicator that the company will soon roll out a new discounted price the world over. It comes as no surprise as the PS4 is almost two-years old and has not seen a revised price since its release in 2013.
As for India? A couple of weeks ago we reported that India would be receiving a price drop on the PlayStation 4 mid-October. While Sony India has yet to officially announce this, its retail partners were more than willing to confirm it. It's just a matter of time before it is made official.
