Get it at launch, I will be. Sure some may say that it might come with bugs, but take the risk. I certainly am.
 
Depends on how bad you want to get your hands on the PS4. If you cannot wait, then launch. If you have reservations, wait.
 
Launch definitely. Or atleast in the first couple of weeks.

As you know you'll get free DriveClub Plus edition if you buy it during that period, so it's definitely worth it getting it that early.
 
I dunno. I'm personally gonna wait it out. Are there any games in the launch line-up that makes you really want a PS4 ASAP? If so, then I would say you should get it soon, but if the launch line-up has nothing amazing in your opinion then wait it out.
 
Where do you live? Do you have that much of money to spend on such an expensive thing? Don't you have another games you can play in the mean time?
I think it's better wait it out, but that is like, my opinion, man!
 
Depends on what you want. If you want to play games early on, then buy the console at launch. Personally, I might wait a few years until I buy the PS4, but my mind might change a few months from now.
 
If i was you id wait for a few months wait for it to go down to about £300 or something if your not willing to spend £350 on it well its up to you though it all depends on how much you want it.
 
I say it really all depends on you. To be honest, I myself won't be buying the PlayStation 4 at launch and probably won't be getting it until early next year. The reason for that is because I will have more important priorities like school but when I have the time and money, I will definitely be picking one up. If the launch games appeal to you, then by all means buy one when it is released in November.

Well yeah. Some people have jobs so they can easily save up that money in no time. It isn't that hard unless you have no source of a constant income. I'd say get it at launch, if there's bugs you can always get it replaced anyhow so take the risk and be that guy that was one of the people that received the ps4 on launch.
 
Get it next year. The console won't go anywhere else and the games won't be gone either. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain if you wait. Gain what? Well of course, the games that were released at launched would be sold at a cheaper price and there's a possibility to purchase the system at a lower price as well. But, if your hands are trembling by Nov. 15, then go buy the darn thing.

Australia, the land of high incomes and high priced products.
I earn $900AU a week though, so its affordable.
 
I'm waiting it out. I don't have a dying need to play any of those games, aside from GTA V on launch day, so I'm not going to bother. I'll let you early adopters work out the bugs for a few months before I get on board.
 
If you want one or more of the launch games and willing to shell out the money then definitely. Otherwise, just wait a while until there is something you're willing to shell out money on.

You're also forgetting high rent, grocery and other living costs. :/

This is very true, a price we pay to be the 9th richest country on earth but the 53rd most populated.
 
I for one am not going to wait as it's only going to cost me $399 - $100 lesser than the Xbox One. I would say, go for it :)

It's going to be amazing.
 
I would not wait simply because the price is not going to drop for a good 2 years I would bet. Might as well get in on the ground level. If you are disappointed then you can always find a buyer for the system through ebay or craigslist. I pre-ordered mine as soon as my local vendor began accepting pre-orders. I'm even thinking about getting two in case there is a shortage. Then I could flip one for a large profit. That's actually the course of action that I would recommend.
