1. It's a "limited edition" version, so yes, it's probably only going to be available with the bundle.
2. Yes, "No Man's Sky" is "Coming First" to PS4...but will also eventually make it's way to PC. No Xbox version has been announced yet, but they aren't limited by Sony in any way, shape or form from releasing on that console as well.
Well I was more asking if it required PS Plus. The answer seems to be a unanimous no though.
3. "AAA" games? There are plenty coming...Batman, Arkham Knight in February (supposedly), Evolve (the one where one player plays the monster and 4 other players hunt the one guy down...looks fun!), out later this year. Metal Gear Solid V looks amazing, if you are into that series...also due later this year. Assassins Creed Unity looks pretty amazing too. Bottom line...if you are into 3rd party "AAA" titles, the PS4 is the place to play them. ALL of these games will look and PLAY better on the PS4.
I don't think Evolve can be played withought PS+. I thought MGS V was out next year? I'm not really into the series. I don't hate it. I just never played it, and I generally don't really prefer stealth games. Also, I've heard a lot about the franchises dependance on cutscenes. I'm the kind of guy who thought TLOU was mediocre, so if it's anything like that, I may pass. However, my best friend loves MGS and bought the $30 demo thing, so I may try that to test the waters. I've bean pleasantly surprised before.
3b. Don't count out the "indies"! There are some AMAZING experiences to enjoy with the "smaller" titles. I really enjoy playing "Transistor" right now...and I will be getting "Minecraft" when it releases...I am also looking forward to the re-release (remaster?) of "Another World" tomorrow as well as several others! Will ALL of these games appeal to you? Probably not...but I would be VERY surprised if NONE of them did!
I'm not counting out indies. I love them, but indies are nothing more than little bonuses to me. I would never buy a console based on indie support.
3c. I would HIGHLY recommend PS+. Not only will it give you the ability to play multiplayer games...but you will also get 2 free games a month! I subscribed about 8 months ago...and now I have more games that I have time to play! (I also own a Vita and a PS3...I get free games on all consoles with ONE subscription).
I'm not sold. It's like a rental service, but the selection is limited, and it's tied to online as an insentive to buy it. I don't like that. Not for me.
In short, there is a LOT going on with the platform...but the decision to pony up the cash is yours and yours alone. I don't think you will be disappointed with your purchase...BUT no one except you will really care if you get one or not. It's important that YOU see value in your purchase...if you think you will enjoy playing these games in the best possible quality (short of a $1500 gaming PC), then get one...if not, then don't. In any case, have FUN shopping and checking out the great games coming out!
It's a breath of fresh are that you were able to voice your opinions in a positive and non condesending way! Thanks lol. To me, being able to play all these 3rd party games is enough of a reason to get a PS4 lol. The question is more if than when.
