The new console will launch in Japan at the end of this month, before rolling out to Europe and other global regions shortly after.

Their is still no official price date revealed, but as of now the 1TB Playstation 4 launches on July 15 in Europe. Hopefully this "ultimate player" edition will make its way over to the US in the near future.
