inFAMOUS: Second Son $570 PS4 Bundle Instantly Tops GameStop’s Best Sellers; Titanfall Bundle 23rd

by Giuseppe Nelva(38 minutes ago)4

Apparently the hype for inFAMOUS: Second Son combined with the chance to get a PS4 (that is still quite hard to find in stores) in time to play Sucker Punch’s upcoming exclusive are making the newly announced GameStop bundle quite popular between the customers of the leading retailer.

The package, that includes the console, the game, an additional DualShock 4 controller and one year of PlayStation Plus membership for the not exactly cheap price of $569.96, basically instantly jumped to the top of the retailer’s best sellers charts, overtaking a few different values of Xbox gift cards, as you can see below.

To offer a term of comparison, Titanfall‘s bundle that was made available yesterday is ranked 23d. The two bundles will also be released in a similar timeframe, and will probably be the major contenders, together with Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, for March’s sales.

This kind of success is quite interesting, especially considering the bundle’s price, that basically doesn’t offer any savings compared to purchasing all the items included by themselves. I actually wonder if this means that GameStop expects the PS4 to still be hard to find come March 21st.

 

 

The bundle itself doesn't seem like a big savings but then again, this just goes to show you the demand for PS4 right now.  ( To a certain poster, I am adding a comment to the op just for you.:)  )

Eat your heart out, Amazon.

PS4 is doing so well, they're raising the price :O



Do not read too much into this. You'll embarrass yourself by the end of it.



Sony is really smart in pushing bundles until there is still a lot of demand and some supply constraint. Cause otherwise why the hell would I want to buy inFamous with additional controller and a year of PS+ when the game won't use or require any of it?

Anyway good to see it on top, game looks really good, hopefully it sells as well.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

I knew the demand was high, but not this much!

lol  As special as you are, no it wasn't you.  :)



I want to know if Second Sons supports Move controls. I preferred playing inFamous 2 using Move so I would like to use it with Secon Sons. That's really all I care about with pre-launch info on SS.

I expect the main reason is the continued scarcity of PS4, so people are jumping on the SS bundle pre-orders to make sure they get the console, regardless of the game that comes with it (can always sell or trade in the game). Whereas TF bundle is only being pre-ordered by those who actually want TF, which is by no means every Xb one buyer.

Is this bundle an official one? If it is i can expect it to appear soon in Europe as well.
