i might be wrong, but im fairly certain the 399 is the basic model with the more expensive including other shit like the camera n what not plus a nice mark up

Obviously you're going to have to order one from an official reseller and wait it out to get one or pay some crazy high mark up from somebody looking to make a massive profit of your impatience.

well obviously it's going to be a bit more expensive when you add in a game and maybe an extra controller... but 899??? maybe i'm overlooking the different storage capacities i didn't bother really looking at the technical specs of each list, just saw the price and did a jaw drop

that's not an official price man, it's just people trying to rip others off who couldn't get one for the holidays and are desperate.
They cost 400 dollars.

i wouldn't even pay retail for them. it is a launch console. they are guaranteed to be garbage with over clocked chips.

That's a gross generalization if I've ever heard one.
Obviously they aren't going to be as good as they will be once the bugs get worked out. Also the games that usually come out with a launch console are usually shit. But saying they are garbage is a straight up lie.

You can get an extended warranty on it for 2 additional years of coverage (comes with 1yr warranty)
• Dedicated PlayStation® Support specialists & 800 number • Claim processing available 7 days a week • No out-of-pocket expenses for qualified claims • Pre-paid shipping box • PlayStation® certified technicians & genuine PlayStation® parts
Should it break, it's hardly a big deal

Yeah.. The regular 2 year extension is like 40$ I think and the accident forgiveness one is 60$.. Not a big deal at all.. Should you not want to do that a 1 year warranty is fine.
I haven't had any problems with mine aside from the glitches from the firmware for the first couple days, that has seemed to get straightened out. That's on my PS4 though.. I'm gonna break out the xbox one whenever I don't feel like being lazy then see how that works out.

I'm a pc gamer, have a evga gtx 670 ftw.... but that statement is just ridiculous, as my graphics card won't play ps4 exclusives, and the exclusives are the sole reason I own some consoles too....

Well, for example the wii u game I just beat, super mario 3d world - the wii u is not emulated thus far on the pc, and I could not have played it with my PC... thus I needed to own a wii u if I wanted to play it... It's as simple as fucking that really. If you want to play the console's exclusive games, you need the damned console, or the console needs to be emulated

You're willing to pay hundreds of dollars on top of software to play in house Microsoft and Sony titles? you're nuts or wealthy
edit - I meant my first reply to OP, but my point remains the same

Some might consider me wealthy, but really I just graduated from college and got a good career and don't waste all my disposable income on a spouse and kids I'm a firm believer in hooking up 
But fuck yah I loved many of the ps3 and 360 exclusives as well as the wii. Virtually all I play on them, and same with the PC really (mostly Bliz PC games etc.) .... I seldom ever play games that get ported around to all platforms, they're usually weak imho.... except some of the indie games.
