Last week, Microsoft kicked off the holiday shopping season right by announcing an across-the-board, $50 price cut for the Xbox One from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday weekend. Sony has followed suit this morning, announcing that the PS4 will be available bundled with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection for $300 during the same time frame.

Sony's deal also runs from Thanksgiving Thursday (Nov. 26) through Cyber Monday (Nov. 30) at all online and brick-and-mortar retailers. Specific retailers may offer further deals on the system, and we'll be scouting for the best offers in the run-up to the holiday weekend.

This is the lowest official price ever offered for the PS4, which saw its price drop for the first time to $350 ($429 CAD) in October.
