Hey guys I just wanted to share a quick little tip for anyone who is thinking of buying a PS4. As you could see the Ps4 costs 399 dollars and 350 pounds. and 399 dollars converted to pounds is only 255 pounds so this means if you live in UK and you want to only pay 255 instead of 350 order from Amazon.com not .co.uk The shipping may take a bit longer but that's a lot of money saved even if you add the shipping.

This is only possible with PS4 since it is region free.

The following 1 user thanked TheTechRise for this useful post:

I'm sure Amazon won't figure this out... Sarcasm.

Amazon has nothing to do with this, Sony are the ones who make up the prices and this was confirmed.

I made a topic of what American retailers will ship but it won't work


Firstly, the plugs are different here in England

Secondly, shipping and international duty will be around 70 quid altogether so I'd rather pay the extra 30 quid and get it from GAME etc.

I think consoles are area restricted (or something like that) to prevent this from happening. Nice idea though!

Get an adapter? It worked when I brought my Wii to England a few years ago.

Cords are not a problem and the shipping won't be 70 it should be around 30-40

Yeah Xbox One is region restricted meaning US version can not be used in UK but PS4 is region free meaning that it could be used anywhere in the world.

The prices are given as a guide line. They give then a recommended retail price, with a price bracket of the highest they can sell if for and the lowest they can sell it for. Just saying
