Missed opportunity to have medion logo instead Sony

 

[ISee]

That's unexpected.

 

[Sidewinder]

Lol, Aldi.

 

[ps3ud0]

Man a PS4P version of that in the UK would be exactly what I want.

ps3ud0 8)

 

[WaterAstro]

Wait, that's not the PS4 Pro... Why does it have HDR on it?

 

[Pankratous]

Wait, that's not the PS4 Pro... Why does it have HDR on it?

All PS4s have HDR.

 

[hEist]

Wait, that's not the PS4 Pro... Why does it have HDR on it?

it's also possible on a normal ps4/slim.

 

[CouchMaster]

Wait, that's not the PS4 Pro... Why does it have HDR on it?

A common misconception that only Pro has HDR.

 

[stryke]

Wait, that's not the PS4 Pro... Why does it have HDR on it?

Regular PS4 is HDR capable.

Haha for real tho 😂

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

HDR is on all PS4s including the old fat models.

UHD is only PS4 Pro

Why such a late bundle launch in Germany? The bundle launches this Wednesday in the rest of Europe, same day as the game.

It's 26/10, so not that much later.

They also have the following games for 19.99:
Uncharted 4
The Last Guardian
Wipeout Omega Collection
Knack
Ratchet & Clank

 

[Green Yoshi]

I think Aldi already had an exclusive deal in 2009. The retail version of wipEout HD was only available at Aldi for some time.

Ahh, thanks. I saw now that it's just a typo by GAMEPROFF.

They've had this in other regions for ages.

I laughed more than I should have, still this feels weird

 

[TLZ]

A year later and people still don't know.

Someone please shop the medion logo somewhere on there.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Aldi felt in other regions much more premium then in germany. But they upgraded their stores recently to look much better and have now also much more brands.

Finally, german ALDI always felt uncomfortable IMO

 

[PhantomThief]

Aldi? The bottom barrel of grocery stores.

Your wish has been granted

Not as long as Penny and NP exists

Your thinking of Lidl.

It should have been a Pro however

 

[sanstesy]

Can't wait to pick up my Odyssey Switch edition at KiK.

 

[brokenbeans]

Of all the places.

Last of Us 2 exclusive console only at Lidl

 

[glaurung]

Sony not doing this limited edition console with a Pro model is beyond reason.

No idea if Aldi is a German Tesco's or Walmart. Sounds cheap.

In the UK, Aldi is much cheaper than Tesco. It's a much smaller supermarket to boot, as well. But you can get most things you'd need there, and it's absurdly cheap. I find it to be a much better experience than Tesco/Asda - I'm not totally overwhelmed by choice.

 

[nekkid]

Hold on a second - Lidl is great. Try getting stroopwafels anywhere else at that price.

Aldi is Shameless-tier, though.

 

[erlim]

Hmmm, why are they sending an exclusive to a grocery store? I didn't even know aldi carried games.

Damn, that's harsh, my girlfriend works for lidl (corporate) (in Spain.).

 

[GAMEPROFF]

They are, but they improved their stores recently and now its great to buy stuff there. Also, you could now buy Steam, PSN and Xbox Keys on their webstore, they want to get a foot into gaming as it seems.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Huh. Didn't know Aldi was German. There's a few stores near me(Florida), so I thought it was an American thing, lol.

 

[MrCow]

Huh?! gaming stuff at Aldi is new i guess? And they start of with an exclusive design for GT Sports? That's a pretty huge intro, would have never thought that would ever happen.

Step up your game Lidl! (soon preorder exclusives by netto...)

[thepenguin55]

I’m going to need to bring an extra quarter for this to make sure I have enough... and I’ll get some Clancy branded products as well.

 

[emjot]

They had great playstation deals in the past, I can remember PS2 slim and PS3 slim bundles on offer there. But a limited edition console must be new.

 

[amdb00mer]

I really don't like the design of the PS4 slim or my PS4 Pro, but this GT themed PS4 does look pretty great. I like the custom controller as well. I thought grocery stores in Europe, in general, sold games. I guess the head-scratcher here is that this bundle is exclusive to Aldi.

 

[Ethranes]

It was interesting to find out that Aldi is the same as Trader Joes, people see Aldi as being the 'lowest' place to shop, but will fall over themselves to shop at a Trader Joes

 

[nampad]

Really Sony? Who greenlit that idea?
Aldi (and grocery stores) is not the brand you want to associate your powerful console with. Every time I see something available at a grocery store, it's just garbage.

It has been nearly 2 decades since Aldi had great electronics (like their first PCs) that everyone wanted.

To be fair, Sony can do anything ey want in Germany because they dominate the market.

You guys have clearly never shopped at a Netto.

 

[Vuci]

Take that back. Aldi has amazing prices.

 

[GlamFM]

Ugly.

Also, lol.

Anyone complaining about ALDI or LIDL should try visiting a Netto or Penny for change.

As far as i know netto(markt)? Has A brands.
Aldi lacks most of those.

Here aldi is the lowest tier of all

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

But the food is fucking disgusting...

Enjoy your bowl of fruit rounds

 

[AmFreak]

Aldi talk

 

[GoldenCrow]

Aldi? The bottom barrel of grocery stores.

About a decade ago or more it certainly was but the produce is now significantly better than both Tesco and Asda which just gets worse year after year and in the UK it is one of the few supermarkets you can get nearly all fresh produce sourced in the UK. Plus they pay their staff real wages. Their presentation is awful though.

For fresh produce in the UK I'd put it as this Natoora > green grocer > Waitrose > Aldi > Sainsburys. The rest I refuse to go to. For pre-made stuff its M&S and Waitrose all day.

 

[Yoshi]

They have quite good meat. Aldi is better than Edeka in terms of meat quality where I live and their canned beans / corn / carrots / peas are better than the corresponding Gut & Günstig products as well. Also they are a good choice to buy onions (cheap and good quality).

 

[sanstesy]

What's going on with the Aldi shaming in here? It's a standard grocery store here in Germany. Not bottom of the barrel at all.
