Funny how X1 bundles are desperate and PS4 bundles are from the generous hand of Sony :)

(can tell from the comment disparity)

who said that the titanfall bundle was desperate? Both bundles make sense IMO.

Actually giving away a 3rd party game, from day 1, 3 months in to the generation is deperate (it means MS has to pay EA out of pocket) at least a little bit. Not desperate is producing a bundle that sells for a higher price (though perhaps Sony doesn't take its platform holder cut), that's standard practice and has been in place with PS4 since it launched. And is standard practice across all console platforms. Giving away a 1st party game is more common, but we should note that Second Sons is not a giveaway either.

Aliasing problems on the top of that PS3, so last gen


At least theres no screen tearing. xD



PS4 bundle? Oh yeah? Mmhmm?

I'm not falling for that one again!

PS3 bundle is counter productive imo. If you want people to upgrade to now current gen, stop promoting last gen. If your going to do that, then just drop the price already!


If VGC pre order data is to be trusted. Then Sony is doing the right thing.

PS4/Xbone versions of the game are outselling last gen ones by a huge margin.

Well I was allready corrected that the bundles will cost more and aren't a free game.

Otherwise what you are saying coems from a old tradition of embracing the physical game over a digital copy. Sure there is that feeling of displaying your game and selling it to gamestop for a fraction of the cost where as a digital copy is transparant and non sellable, but times are a changing and the game is still the same game.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

60 mins exclusive content hmmmm.



Again? Should have been free because they promised it us last year already.. Anyway I hope the game will be good..



It should be exclusive to next-gen, they never announced it for ps3 before ps4's launch... I think.

They are not a generous hand of sony because you have to pay extra for it.

PS4 = £350

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PS4-PlayStation-4/dp/B00BE4HOIM/ref=sr_tr_sr_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394139922&sr=8-1&keywords=ps4

PS4 watch dogs bundle = £384.99

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-Watch-Dogs-PS4/dp/B00BF6D488/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1394139848&sr=8-6&keywords=ps4+watch+dogs

effectively, you are paying £35 for it.

 

On the otherhand....

xbox one = £396.44

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00BE4OUBG/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=1394139939&sr=8-1

xbox one titanfall bundle =£399

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xbox-One-Titanfall-Bundle/dp/B00I9WV32K/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1394139939&sr=8-4&keywords=xbox+one

 

So yes, giving away your biggest upcoming game for almost nothing is desperate.

oh did I forget to mention thats on top of a recent £30 price drop?
