You`ll see better options than MSRP w/o tax lol, too many retailers & like you said 7-8 months away from BF the stores will offer stuff, GC`s, free games and/or discounted PS+ or something that can be resold to help reduce the cost.I don't see much point to waiting for a PS4 redesign personally. The system is already pretty small. This isn't like the original PS3 that needed some slimming down.
I'd love to see some bundles, though if it still keeps selling well, I wonder if we'll see any before the holiday deals, which is still a good 7-8 months away. Think I may end up settling with Amazon and the deal of no sales tax on a $400 purchase.
