Forums - Sony Discussion - Two PS4 Bundles $299.99 December 6th - 19th

Looks like you were right all along GG ;)

I expect $299 will be the official price sometime next year. Maybe in time for VR or NX launch.

I think they're more or less breaking even with the Star Wars Bundle. I bet Sony are knocking standalone PS4s out for $260 - $270.

Just going to throw this out there, is this to get rid of stock? The made to many NDC bundles?

I don't think so. This is to end the debate.

Who won the generation. These deals are to make sure there's no suggestion that Sony are slipping. They haven't overshipped they've deliberately shipped more to cover these deals.

I've got to laugh at GAF sometimes. For all the posturing about how representative and intelligent they are, they sometimes completely miss the point. Lots of people are now say the Star Wars Bundle should have been the Black Friday Bundle and not Nathan Drake. Yeah, because Sony wouldn't want to promote their biggest franchise and get people hooked on the multiplayer ...


Not only that, but they have to pay EA for every copy of Battlefront in those bundles. This way they got to sell a ton of cheaper (for them) bundles for Black Friday and still capitalize on the Star Wars hype. 


The deal between EA, Sony, and Disney is a little more lucrative than that. As far as I'm aware we don't know the details but seeing as Disney owns the IP, I would assume that they would be the ones eating any kind of loss on the software & hardware side of things under some sort of contractual obligation. What's more, I'd assume that they're also the ones to hit the big red shiny button that starts a firesale.

This just confirms that ps4 will have an insane December too.

I think its safe to say Sony can produce ps4's for really cheap now. There's no way they'd take a loss on a bundle. I'd guess they make a tiny profit of $10 on the battlefront 299 bundle. Remember they only have to pay the publisher his share of the game. So they probably only pay them around $25 to include the game in the bundle.

That's an awful lot of guessing.
