White PS4 September 9th Destiny bundle

So, when does the GameStop promotion end? I'm willing to trade in my PS4 and wait 3 months for this. The bundle has everything I want, my gaming backlog is massive, but I just want to finish Wolfenstein before I trade this in, if possible.

So the 50% means if I trade my ps3 160gb a ps4 is technically 200$?

Looks very nice though it would not fit with my all black entertainment center. I'll stick to my black PS4. What would be cool is if Sony released a "premium" SKU finished in brushed Aluminum. I'd happily pay $100 - 200 extra for that.

It'll be cool if they did classic grey for their 20th anniversary, but at least the US got a white system before Japan multitude of colors.

So sexy! I'm assuming the vertical stand is sold separately? I don't want that Destiny game though.

I'm actually considering selling my X1 for it, but not sure if I can wait 3 months for it.

I meant something like this but real. Gunmetal grey would be even better.

Press release doesn't say anything about
30 Day Music Unlimited
$10 PlayStation Store Voucher

Also says :
In North America, a limited number of Vertical Stand will be included in the bundle featuring Destiny, and will not be sold separately.

So the white stand won't be available separately? That makes the white version useless to me if I don't one with the stand bundled.

I traded in a bunch of old games and my orig 360 today totaling $255 credit which I dropped on a preorder for this bundle at GameStop today!

FYI

The gamestop guy ran into a problem trying to get me the $100 for the console in the computer. He said the preorder didn't count as buying a console, so it didn't register the $100 deal. He was super cool though and manually hooked it up for me, saying it totally should count and that they'd contact corporate to fix it.

Are these going to be limited supply? I plan on using the gamestop deal to trade in my black PS4 but I'd rather wait until the last few days of the deal before doing so.

Maybe I should just go put some money down just in case.

I was really hoping for a special edition Destiny controller but I'm probably not picking up a white one. It looks nice but it's not special enough.
The fake one with the same colored face buttons looks nice but I'd like it to stand out just a little more.
 
Is the white DS4 releasing on the same day?

Amazon has it listed for December 31st which is obviously just a placeholder. (North America here)

I forgot this year is the 20th anniversary. I wonder if they'll do something cool to acknowledge it. Maybe a PSN sale on PS1 classics. Maybe bring PS1 classics to PS4. Maybe announce new games of old franchises like PaRappa or Vib Ribbon (to satiate those that were teased at E3).

Just preordered this plus a White Gold Headset. Ready to jump in fully to next-gen September 9th! Planning to slowly pay this down with each paycheque to avoid sticker shock on release day.

Will play the heck out of this and then pick up Shadow of Mordor in October as well.

Congrats dude! I will have to be content with my black ps3 non-gold headset. Otherwise, I'm in the same boat. Will probably go put some money down this week. So hype that I subbed this thread to look for any reason to talk about it more haha

I still just cannot believe why a special edition console can be make for a franchise that havent prove anything just yet. Im not just someone who like to be put in my mouth what to eat. And this is exactly that this game is doing. They put big money in it, have the team behind Halo, but again, this game is presented as a product you must consume. Am i the only one feeling that way???

Have you not read impressions from the Alpha? The game changed alot of peoples opinion about it.

They didn't make a special edition console - it's just a white version they were always going to release anyway. This is just a bundle for marketing purposes.
 
What is the Destiny logo anyway?

Pretty sure you are. And I don't even give a shit about Destiny, I just want the white PS4.

Preorder a game, grab a code and play beta. Then decide.

People loved the beta yeah i know. But its more the fact that your being told its the next big thing, rather than make its popularity by its own . It will be a great game, but when a new franchise arrive, it really doesnt deserve its special console edition right away before people got a chance to play it. Its where this is blocking me.

It's not a special edition console. It's just a bundle.

Pretty much. I don't think the console boasts anything that's related to Destiny written on it. It just is a White PS4 that's available for limited time only which is being bundled with what could be one of the biggest games of the year, especially for being a brand new ip.
 
Gamestop was still running the promotion, so I traded in both my 3DS (never play it) and PS4. Completely covered the cost and now I wait :)

Don't so much care for Destiny as I NEEDED DAT WHITE PS4

It looks beautiful in that photo, but I feel like I might be making a mistake getting this, since every single thing on my TV cabinet is black. It's possibly going to look ridiculous and stick out like a sore thumb.
