And 68 million of the remaining 75 million PS3 owners who don't have a PS4 or TLOU also have the chance to by the complete package at a pretty cheap price.
Fact of the matter is the vast majority of PS3 and PS4 owners don't own TLOU, and they've never played it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to entice more people to buy the game. They are actually not trying to convince people who already own the game to buy it a 2nd or 3rd time.
Comments like "triple dipping" are just pathetic.

Don't act like there's actually that many people to sell to. You have to think about used game sales, renting, borrowing, people replacing older consoles with slimmer versions and simply not caring for the game. There's not much more audience to sell to. I'm not saying tripple dipping on consumers part, I'm talking about Sony.

I guess you are new to gaming. Let me explain it to you, when a game is critically acclaimed the companies tend to release GOTY editions which include, if any, all the DLCs released up to that point. The consumers who are yet to buy the game are aimed with these with the addition of the extra stuff. Since Naughty Dog games score a little higher than the other games, they are appropriate candidates for this treatment.

My post has nothing to do with it being a GOTY edition. But since you wanna talk about that, GOTY editions usually come out around a year after release depending on the amount of DLC. Which is what I thought the PS4 version was handling since that's the usual time for that type of release. Here, Sony is doing that twice at seperate times of the year to not take focus from either one while being able to sell one during Christmas time at full price while the other one sells during the summer drought. Its milking at its finest. Sell the same game at 3 different times within a year and a half to make as much profit as possible from it being "new". I figured Sony wouldn't do this since so many people saw TLOU: R as a GOTY edition but I guess I was wrong. You have to admit this is the first time something like THIS has happened.
