More like 6.800¥ ($56) not including taxes ($60 with taxes).
I don't understand how some of you can deny the impact of a free game. Of course it won't push the console to outstanding numbers, but the baseline is up for sure.

I'm not saying there is no impact at all, I just think the impact is not as big as some people think. So at the moment digital version of Bloodborne is $60 but the valuation is still very tricky. Bloodborne has been on sale on EU-PSN and I would not be surprised if it has been on JAP-PSN also since release. So in that sense I would not value Bloodborne digital version at $60. If this promotion gave a physical copy of a just released game like Batman instead then I would accept it to give bigger boost. This is mainly because physical copy of a just released game adds significant potential value of trade/resell to the equation.

Well, I wasn't referring to just you, but more in general.
And of course the impact is not that big. But PS4 had almost no releases the past weeks, and we can compare to how the console was selling in June without releases:

It was selling 10-11k in June without games, but now in August is selling between 14k and 20k depending in holiday periods. This +4k copies of difference are the impact that Bloodborne is doing.
Metal Gear Solid V anticipation? Yes, it's possible one-two weeks before its release, but not more than one month ago
