And they could even have put one more game and still have great profit.

Let's have a BF bundle in USA with 10 exclusives that have been patched for Pro and cost less than 10USD used and make a PS4Pro X bundle. 10 games exclusive to PS4 all costing 10 bucks less than X1X.

Holy moly, imagine if such a bundle actually existed, a PS4 Pro with TEN games for the same price or cheaper than a standalone X1X... I know which I'd buy! :P 

And wouldn't be hard to make, even if just for bragging rights.

thats not the point though. in fact its to highlight the price discrepancy btw the Pro and X.

I agree with the number thing, that would have been clever

I see that makes sense. A handful of something vs a handful of something else. A straight price comparison to show the difference. Clever.

Those clever bastards! Pulling the same trick Sega did when the Super NES launched!

And what was that trick? A genesis with a sonic 1-3 or something?

Memory is a tricky thing. It said get one free. I always thought they gave them all away free. I vaguely remember something similar when the N64 launched, too.

I'm going to point out the obvious here because it seems people have lost the ability to join dots:

The XB1X has launched and the biggest criticism is the XB has fallen a long way behind with its exclusives, especially singleplayer games, with a heavy push towards GAAS.

Sony have their Paris Conference in which they push exclusive content and exclusive games, especially singleplayer games.

Sony release a Pro bundle in which they emphasise PS4 exclusives.

MS announce their going to invest in more studios.

This bundle has more to do with Sony pressing home their biggest advantage. 



 

The PS5 Exists.

Yeah it's a BS bundle by game anyway. You can get the exact same thing cheaper buying separate.

PS4 Pro + GTS - £340

Horizon Complete - £36

Wipeout Omega - £25

Uncharted Lost Legacy - £25

Total - £426.   So £24 cheaper.

Yeah, good point. I think they should have done this for £400 instead.

or just add in Ratchet and Bloodborne...

Sony marketing win again. Genius move. Software > haedware

This would have been amazing if they would remove those 2 dlc, even if they are stand alone. Specially the horizon dlc, 2 of the same is not as good. so ratchet and clank instead of frozen wilds and uncharted 4 instead of lost legacy. Im pretty sure the price would be the same and have a bigger impact. Thouse games are good enough that people will be the dlc anyways.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

Competition is good, great deal for anyone wanting to get one still.

That is actually a pretty good bundle for someone starting up now. Though playing U Lost legacy without U4 loses a bit of context.

Oh nvm... just saw the price issue. xD

This is embarrassing, you really should get your facts right OP.
It's a Game.co.uk bundle not a Sony bundle

I mean, it all comes down to one question; What good is hardware if you have no software to play on it :o 

What about those xbox360 15 year old games that look so good on a brand new 4K beast of a console ???

Unprecedent support, biggest lineup at launch.

If it's sold out at 450 why sell it at 400?
