PS4 - When to buy & new chassis ?

[Steve Campbell]

Hi folks

I've been an "on and off gamer" for more than 30 years....starting with an Atari 400 many many years ago !!! Had PS1, and still have PS2 and 3..but they do get more use from my 12 year old now !

Never was an early adopter of the newest machines but seriously considering the PS4 as a treat for me (and my son !) around Xmas time. As I've always been with the Sony franchise I'm not interested in any other "options" :-).

So...
1) Are the best deals ALWAYS bundles before Xmas ? I don't mind waiting until after if it means a better deal ? Never purchased anything around what is now called "Black Friday".....but is it likely the best deal really will be this week ?
2) Having done some background reading...how can I ensure whatever I buy will be the new CUH 1200 chassis and not an old one ? Has all the old stock sold through or do you expect the bigger retailers (Tesco / Amazon or other major suppliers) to still be offloading the old one through Xmas Black Friday ?

Thanks for your help.....

Thanks folks. Went for a PS4 500Mb from Tesco Direct in the end with 2 games included.
