Original Story Follows
The PlayStation 4 is being released in South Africa on December 6 this year, for a wallet-destroying price of R6299 – but if you act now, you can shave five hundred Randelas off the price by ordering the thing from Kalahari.
Yep, they’ve got the thing for pre-order for a much more reasonable R5799. Bear in mind that initial stocks of the PlayStation 4 will be quite limited indeed, and this is one of the best ways to guarantee you’ll be playing one on Christmas morning.
There is a caveat though; you’ll have to shell out that R5799 right now to secure your order. That’s a lot of beans to have just lying about, but if you already have a well-stocked PS4 fund, buying this now will make it seem like it’s free when it gets delivered to your door in December.
Pre-order the PS4 from Kalahari.com here.
Some things to note – you won’t get boned if you order this, and the price changfes, or becomes a bundle. According to Kalahari:
1. Stock is very limited
2. Bundle offers have not been confirmed as yet, and if the day 1 offer changes to a bundle, then the pre-order will change to this bundle automatically.
3. Launch date + Price is subject to change (Customers who pre-order now will always pay the lower price)

Was an error on kalahari’s side, they listed the incorrect price, form their facebook page:
we’re so sorry about that. It was an error & correct price reflecting now, anyone who bought on cheaper price will still get it at that.

Listen….kalahari’s got the best deals when it comes to hard copies of games. But i’m thinking BTgames are going to have the best price when it comes to hardware.

Any amount on it? I will also probably buy from them…. But I don’t know if I will buy it this year or middle next year… Watch Dogs is really the only game that I want on the next gen so far, my Xbox 360 and PS3 can still run all the others that I want to play… (Yes I know Watch dogs is also available to them but it looks like it would be best on the next gen console!!!)

Personally I don’t get why R6399 is considered so outrageously expensive…
People buy i-Pads and other tablets for R6000 – R9000+ and they change every year. If our current console life cycle is anything to go buy your paying +/- R1.75 a month for 10 years.
(And I know you have to pay for games too but I still don’t think any tablet game comes close to what you get on console so I’m looking purely at hardware)
Just my 5c worth… 🙂

I wonder if anybody managed to get a pre-order in for the R5799 price, and what the implications will be if so……

Did anyone here get a copy? I missed out, like a drunken hobo, lying on the grass.
Also, with Kalahari pre-orders you’re paying now right? instead of when it launches?
