I think the time to get one will be around Xmas as there is plenty of good games on the horizon. The first year has been pretty abysmal for this generation of consoles in terms of games but we have the new Call of Duty, Assassins Creed Unity, Dragon Age Inquisition, Half Life 3 and many other titles to look forward to. If you're 100% looking to get back into gaming; the PS4 now is a good start if you have the money going spare but if you aren't overly interested on what's on offer the now and the next few months; it may be sensible to wait after Christmas when there will probably be a price drop.
