Soon after its announcement, the PlayStation 4 has already been sold out of special "Launch Edition" units on Amazon. Sony is selling PS4 as a $400 Standard Edition, but is not guaranteeing when gamers will receive that version this fall.
Instead, the e-commerce giant has resorted to selling the "Standard Edition," which won't become available until December 31.
While it is unclear when will Sony release the PlayStation 4, it is likely that the console would be available in time for the holiday season. The company has already slashed the starting price of the next-generation console by $100 from the relatively pricey PlayStation 3, which debuted for $499 in November 2006.
Amazon's currently lists four new bundles for the console. The Knack and Watch Dogs editions come with their respective games included for $460, while the Battlefield 4 and Killzone launch bundles toss in one year of PlayStation Plus -- nudging the price up to just 10 cents shy of $500.
The Xbox One Day One Edition is still available for $500. Amazon is not currently selling any Xbox One bundles.
In a Facebook poll, run by Amazon, over 95 per cent of the over 40,000 gamers who replied said they’d be purchasing a PS4.
