This is perfect for me if I end up wanting a Pro because the console has no Destiny shit on it and I can sell the code for a profit (closer to what's it's actually worth, $80-90).

This probably means no pricecut until september, but I can't see them going against X1X while only being 100$ less and being 200$ more than base PS4. Any event between september and november?

Paris Games Week is the week before X1X is released, that would be a perfect time to do a price drop.

I guess you are getting the expansion, but a year later it doesn't feel like much of a deal. Wonder how much the Pro actually costs Sony to make?
 
But still 30fps... :/

That's funny but I believe the white PS4 pro can run 60 FPS games. Weird, I know.

I wonder is this why when I was looking on Amazon for PS4's they were all unavailable the other day....

I hope this means I can get a cheaper base version for under $399... I am so close to grabbing some refurb Uncharted Slim bundles for $199

The code is just for the expansion stuff. I think Destiny 2 is on a disc, per the press releases and pictures. So you may be able to get $30 for it and then sell the disc separately.

Goddamn this looks sweet. But it's expensive as fuck, and I prefer waiting until Sony releases a PS4 Pro Slim.

(for the US)

Its basically a Pro for the retail price and a $50 game....

Look at it as a 10 dollar discount for Destiny 2.

That plus the Pass and digital content....you are actually saving money.

Now that looks Niiiiiice. I always thought the Pro design was ugly as shit, but it looks so damn nice in white.

Yeah I realize that now. Like I said, putting the actual disc in the SKU makes it easier to sell than a code card for everything.

White PS4's look lovely. All of my recent consoles (360, PS4, XONE) are black, but I wouldn't mind hunting for a white Pro when I will finally decide to make an upgrade. :)

Boring. I always liked the special colored bundles. Like the gunmetal PS3 for Metal Gear Solid 4. I'm just sticking with the traditional PS4 for D2 anyways. Extra pretty graphics really do nothing for me. Would've jumped on this if it had been a performance improvement, but what can you do.


It does have a Performence improvment. Just not in destiny 2 as far as we know. (Though it may be better at hitting the 30fps target)

It's Destiny 2 + Expansion pass bundle ($90)

Edit: Sorry, you said that in your last line.

So they're bundling a premium console that offers little to no improvements for the game it's sold with? That's hilarious.
 
Luckily this isn't a real LE system, or I might have had to buy it. Sticking with my much cooler looking actual LE Taken King PS4 and the PC version of this game.
 
Damn, this gaming community as a whole has gotten so petty and childish about things, but hey, we are all gamers who loves games, lol.




On topic, the bundle looks pretty sexy.

It's NeoRaider.....but yeah gaf is one massive console war.

Shock headline: different people care about different things in the video games they buy

That's clearly not what he was saying...at all...It was clearly a dig and a silly post. What does 30 FPS have to do with a hardware bundle?
 
Already have a Pro, but this bundle is the same as the Year 1 bundle I bought for my original PS4. Really wish I could get this but it would be a stupid waste of money.

But 30 or 60 frames isn't the be all end for gaming enjoyment. Most people don't care.

Also. It's been stated time and again this game will be 30 fps. So why do people keep coming into threads commenting on it in a negative way? Especially when it has very little to do with the topic at hand.

What? It offers a huge graphical upgrade. Which is the improvment that's being marketed. Don't be so dense.

It's actually a very good deal (it includes the $100 edition of Destiny 2).

I know it's a good deal, but it's still 550$ out of my bank account. That's a good chunk of money with which I can't easily part.

lol, yea I was in the middle of a few edits.

I mean it is a deal, I just didnt wanna spend $399 for the Pro. This should move quite a few Pro's. Looks like Sony's about to start actually giving the Pro some marketing attention.

Think about it: the orig PS4 sold like hotcakes. They did an upgraded version for the exact same price. Now it has a Destiny 2 bundle.
