Considering they've literally been giving the game away as their main system bundle for quite awhile now, I don't think using it as an excuse to increase price now would work. As it stands, there are so many extra digital codes out there, you can pick one up on eBay for all of $15, if not less.

How would it be increasing the price? The 1TB PS4/TLOUR bundle would be the same price as the 500GB PS4/TLOUR bundle is now, but by moving that bundle to the 1TB version it would allow them to lower the price of the 500GB more because the 'value' argument would shift to the 1TB version and obviously by it's very nature the $300 500GB version would be seen to have value.

You're not getting it. TLOUR literally adds no value to the PS4 bundle. Maybe it did back when the bundle was new, but Sony has flooded the market with TLOU digital copies. I mean flooded. The game is worth only a fraction of the value it was when they started bundling the code to the point where even at $15, digital codes aren't selling all that well. If they did a Bloodborne bundle, I could see them maybe getting away with it, but even then, they would need to offer an unbundled version of the 1TB for $350, which they are not going to do. No matter how you look at it, the PS4 is not dropping to $300 in any capacity anytime soon. It doesn't need to, and it certainly isn't going to.
