Price? Is the game free or not.

 

[Saber]

Excelent move for a bundle. But theres no price though.

Price? Is the game free or not.

Excelent move for a bundle. But theres no price though.

Below are the potential prices valid at the launch of the two packs in euros and US dollars:

• PS5 Standard Console Bundle (with disc drive) + Astro Bot download code : €499.99 in Europe / $449.99 in the US.
• PS5 Digital Console Bundle (without disc drive) + Astro Bot download code : €399.99 in Europe / $399.99 in the US.
  
  

 

[Mibu no ookami]

The prices are 450 for disc and 400 for digital, so essentially a price drop/continuation of discounting albeit not as heavy as the fortnite bundle.

Looks like they're staying pretty aggressive here ahead of GTA6's launch.

 

[onQ123]

They are out of line for announcing it on Mar10

 

[Shifty1897]

They should have at least replaced the standard controller with that awesome Astrobot one.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

More people playing GOTY is great.

 

[Nankatsu]

I'm still waiting on the PS5 Pro + disc drive bundle.

There was a retailer in Portugal that packed both for 800€ recently.

But I didn't cave in.

I'm out of the loop. What's the significance? Oh I get it, mario?

Why? What's the context behind today?

That was a good deal though since the MSRP in EU for the Pro is €800 and obviously doesn't come with a disc drive which is €120 and rarely in stock.

Mar10 spells mario I think.

 

[Zimmy68]

Great news for those wanting to buy Astro Bot on the cheap. It looks like key sellers will get their hands on copies.

Mario Day

 

[Physiognomonics]

They really have no other game to sell their consoles, do they? All the others SP games are available on PC possibly for free (cracked).

WOW! LOL!

I like how Astro Bot is getting the attention he deserve. Wish I got this, but I already with this stupid regular bundle.

A price drop and a critically acclaimed game in the box? That's an awesome deal!

Just needs the right ad campaign to go along with it.

 

[Horseganador]

Astrogoty should have had its pack since it came out but well, in the end they released it.

 

[Paasei]

Shame they don't add a physical copy with the discdrive PS5.

 

[Nankatsu]

That was a good deal though since the MSRP in EU for the Pro is €800 and obviously doesn't come with a disc drive which is €120 and rarely in stock.

Need to decide if I want an OLED monitor for PC, a new GPU (Even thought I honestly think I don't need one) or a PS5 Pro.

 

[Generic]

Waiting for the game to be released on PS+.

It makes sense since sales have started to fall. A small discount plus a great free pack-in game is a pretty good way to test the waters and see if deeper discount is needed.

? They have been slowing down.

 

[RoboFu]

Lame... it doesn't come with the awesome controller.

 

[Sooner]

He's doing the whole "Xbox + PlayStation" sales are down.

 

[Fafalada]

Thanks to Gaf - I will forever read 'AstroHot' in these threads...

I recall you predicted a astro bundle with price drop in a old post?
Looks like they really want to entice people ready for GTA6 doesn't it.
Those prices represent unbelievable value. There were people worried about playstation getting so call arrogant with being so dominant

 

[BlackTron]

PS5 Pro Bundle when the game came out + Pro ready game + special controller included = winning

This=nice price drop I guess

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Even though I always call it a glorified tech-demo, it really is a great bundle to introduce the entire family to Playstation.

You have me confused with another poster who correctly predicted the bundle and price drop. So I won't take credit. O onQ123

I did believe there would be a bundle though.

 

[OverHeat]

Great bundle choice!!

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

They have plenty. They literally have a Fortnite bundle, a F2P game available everywhere.

But why not the game that was GOTY last year?

Also...seems like that price is here to stay?

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Very cool, would love more bundles for hardware in general. Sure it's just a digital code though sadly.

 

[Unknown?]

Yes, good stuff!

 

[yogaflame]

Great bundle. Kids would love this game and even adults. I plan to buy Astrobot this month. I hope Ps5 pro will be the next to have bundle.

 

[Borealis]

PS5 Pro bundle / price drop when Sony? Paying more than double for the Pro (the console is pretty much 350 when you count the game) seems a bit much.

 

[Muddy]

? They have been slowing down.

9.5 million console sales in the last quarter.

It was 8.2 million console sales the previous year during the same period.

You call that slowing down?

PS5 experiences record sales during holiday period, PlayStation revenues reach $11bn

Sony has published its financial results for the nine months ending December 31, 2024, which saw growth across the boar…

I can get that for Astro's Playroom, but Astro Bot is 100% a full game on par with a 3D Mario game.

 

[nial]

Sony is serious about pushing Astro Bot.

AstroWoke?

Looks like billbil-kun's leak about the bundle price was spot on.

 

[kazuyamishima]

These bundles will sell like hotcakes

Looks like billbil-kun's leak about the bundle price was spot on.

For all the people asking why it doesn't include the Limited Edition DualSense controller, this is why.
$50 less than a standard game-less bundle, with a $60 game. You're basically saving $110 there.
This will sell like hotcakes.
