Destiny wasn't free at launch though was it? It would be unusual (and rather more expensive than Sony can really afford) for Sony to give away a 3rd party game at launch. After a few months as a special deal perhaps, yes.

Well, it was like this. Destiny + PS4 was sold  in a bundle at launch with the retailers I checked for $400. I posted about it here in the "Post your great PS4 deals here" thread I believe. However, they also sold the standalone PS4 for $360 or $370. So if you look at it that way, then it wasn't free. But both the standalone PS4 and the bundles were below the recommended retail price. Oh and that was a Black PS4+Destiny. If you wanted the white one + Destiny, then it cost $450. And only on Amazon.

The conversation was about Sony's official prices, not a bundle some retailer put together...
