Forums - Sony Discussion - Destiny: The Taken King Limited Edition Bundle: Is Sony preparing for a price drop in the US and Canada?

I really do not think there will be a pricecut. Bundling games for the PS4 for $399 has worked. I could only see it happening if MS has a wicked good holiday and people complain.  Would be nuts if XBO breaks the record of most sold consoles on Black Friday, again. 

And damn, Destiny deserves 5x the hate that CoD gets. What a bogus game and The Taken King has nowhere near enough value for its standalone pricetag. At least the game will re-release with all the DLC for $60, just feel a little bad for people who bought less than a year ago T_T. I think the game should have been bigger and had a PC release. Could have had an excellent in game market like WoW and Dota2. Of course you would have needed to make it an actual MMO. But Activision has no vision and is afraid of the risk if it failed.

It comes with the new PS4 model too.

edit: maybe not LOL

You don't need to feel bad for the guys that bought it and had over 500 hours of fun.

The game delivered every dollar I paid.

Iron Banner train is happening this week with tons of fun ;)

It is not... only the normal (black) bundle uses the new model.



I agree with ethomaz.

The situation is twofold, but it's basically Sony using this Destiny "timed marketing exclusive" to secure even more leadership, surely not the other way round.
Of course, Destiny gets also promoted, as a by-product of this same strategy.

I only feel a little bad.  I understand things get cheaper in time.   I just don't know how anyone had fun with that game.  Whole PVE was empty, barren, and repetitive, only played til about February or March.  Maybe it improved.

Tates ;) it is fine to don't like it.
It is fine to like too.

I stopped to be a trophy hunter just to play more Destiny... I never had so fun with a game before.

And I can see people trying to play it solo having the same opinion than you... you need to play in groups to have fun... that is the whole goal of Destiny (not the solo play).



But the PS4 Arkham Knight bundle was $399 not $449, right??

Ohhh right, I forgot about that one. 

Yeah, given this bundle is $399, I think a $50 price cut should come soon.
