PS4 Gets First Price Drop at GameStop UK

The PS4 has received its first unofficial price drop in the UK, courtesy of GameStop.

The online branch of the retailer is selling consoles for £329.97, which is £20 below the retail price seen elsewhere of £349.99. It's worth noting that this isn't an official price drop announced by Sony.

The Standard Edition of the console is the one that's on offer, coming with just a console and DualShock 4 controller. This is the first time that the console has been available at a discount in the UK, though the Xbox One is available at a couple of retailers like Zavvi and GameStop for a similar discount.

Interestingly Amazon, which is usually quick to match the discounts of its competitors, appears to still be sold out of PlayStation 4 consoles as only more expensive packages are on offer from third-party sellers.

Last we heard, Sony has sold 4.2 million PS4 consoles globally. Previously, Sony announced that 2.1 million consoles had been sold globally as of early December, one million of which were sold in 24 hours. Following launch, PS4 became the fastest-selling console in UK history.
