Sony is aggressively pricing its consoles this holiday. The company introduced a brand new 250GB model of its six-year-old PlayStation 3 game console on Monday, but rather than drop the price of the machine, it actually raised it from $250 to $270, bundling a game in to justify the jump. The PlayStation Vita portable console, meanwhile, has reportedly sold just over 2 million units worldwide. Those are the sort of sales that forced Nintendo to slash the price of the Nintendo 3DS from $250 to $170 just months after its release in 2011, but Sony is sticking to its guns. No Vita price drop. Instead it’s releasing bundles with new games like Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation and Call of Duty Black Ops: Declassified.
A new report from Videogamer, however, demonstrates that the $250 price tag on the Call of Duty Black Ops: Declassified bundle isn’t too big of a money saver. The copy of Declassified that comes with the PS Vita isn’t a physical copy of the game, just a download voucher. Now a download voucher for a $50 game isn’t a negative. The game itself costs that much regardless of whether there’s a physical copy or not. The problem is that the bundle only comes with a 4GB proprietary memory stick for the system. While it’s unknown how much data Declassified takes up as a download, large Vita games can come close to filling that card. Uncharted: Golden Abyss for example eats up 2.7GB, while FIFA 13 eats up 2.8GB.
Hmm. I saw a rumor going around that the Assassins Creed Bundle was also designed like this, with a voucher
instead of the physical game. And with just a 4 gig memory card, Sony seems like it could be setting itself up for a PR headache(not that they'd care since that department has gone bye-bye lol). Thoughts?
