It’s not all about PS4 this Christmas for Sony, with the firm throwing £2.5m behind Vita, too.

The company is putting together PS4 and Vita into an ‘Ultimate Bundle’, which will launch before Christmas. Gamers that own both consoles can stream their PS4 games to their Vita and play off-screen, which Sony views as a big selling-point for the handheld.

The company is also running a £2.5m TV campaign for Vita. Entitled ‘The Best Way to Play’ the ad will promote both Vita’s connectivity with PS4 and its big Q4 exclusive, Tearaway.

Will be interesting to see what they price it at, but if it's good value, I could see it doing well. I'd put it at £500 with a 1year PS+ voucher and an 8gb card.

mjontrix · Nov 22, 2013

If the Vita still fails to sell now, it never had a chance...

I do hope it manages to sell - we need to support region-free! Also all those indie games on the go! And streaming!

MightyKAC · Nov 22, 2013

Looks like they're also using the opportunity to give Tearaway an ad push which is some pretty good news too.

Valentus · Nov 22, 2013

Price it $500 and then you'll broke christmas Sony.

Price it just like buying a ps4+vita and it'll be the worst selling bundle this christmas.

Dynedom · Nov 22, 2013

If this makes it to NA, fucking sold.

edit: Only if its "dat OLED" Vita though

Lagspike_exe · Nov 22, 2013

Vita is amazing value when you have PS+.

DBT85 · Nov 22, 2013

I just can't imagine it selling that well at Christmas. Not at the price it will have to be.

Prince Vultan · Nov 22, 2013

Ultimato Bunduru!

Nunchucks · Nov 22, 2013

Sure hope so, tons of people want it and it would boost the Vita pretty good.

JP · Nov 22, 2013

Sony should keep the PS4/Vita bundles the same price as Microsoft sell the new Xbox with the camera, they make a bit of money on both pieces of hardware so they should be willing to take a bit of a hit to compete with Microsoft's bundle and add either 3 or 6 months of Plus and maybe even a PS3 discount voucher.

If Microsoft drop the price of the Xbox then Sony should do everything they can to match it and they should also keep the cheaper version without the Vita.

zomgbbqftw · Nov 22, 2013

I'll already have both by then, but an Xmas bundle for£450 with PS4+Vita included would be killer. Anything to make Vita more successful

maquiladora · Nov 22, 2013

A £2.5m campaign should easily cover Mr Banderas' costs.

Zalman · Nov 22, 2013

I will buy this if it's the OLED Vita, but somehow I doubt it will be.

This. Not many people will give this as a gift, but if its a decent discount I could see people picking it up for themselves.

Of course it won't be. They'll sell the Vita that's cheaper to manufacture.

Nah I reckon chances are it will do better once hype for the actual next gen consoles themselves dies down a bit, not at the same time as the launch, most people will just about afford a next gen console, if that.

Ashadur · Nov 22, 2013

If its priced at £430, the same price as the Xbox One, i can see people seeing that as more value and buying the PS4+Vita deal.

TomShoe · Nov 22, 2013

Immediately came to mind.

Still, a welcome addition. I was planning to get a Vita in the near future anyway, but only after I had gotten a 3DS and a PS4. My 3DS (and Pokemon) is sitting on the drawer, so why not kill two birds with one stone?

The only hard part is getting my hands on a PS4 in the first place...they sell out as quickly as they get in stock.

PAULINK · Nov 22, 2013

BUT WHAT ABOUT VITA TV? Stop skipping out on us tier 1 countries!

While a $500 price point is pretty unlikely, this kind of bundle MAY see a bit of business if the standalone PS4 stocks become scarce enough.

With a reasonable price point that is.

coldfoot · Nov 22, 2013

599 dollars...

artist · Nov 22, 2013

Hope it's not a UK bundle only, want the goodness to come to NA too.

Already own a couple.

At $500 it would fly off shelves.

MrBambinoDent · Nov 22, 2013

Well that's not a bad move on Sony's part, the Vita is kinda getting better in the market and this should give it a helping hand as well!
I love my Vita anyway

I doubt it's going to be more expensive than buying a PS4 + Vita separately...

$500 with 8GB Memory Card, the new Vita, and Tearaway (digital copy is fine)
FUCKING DO IT SONY

Vita 2000 - $190
8GB memory Card - $24.99
Tearaway - $39.99

That is not a good value, lol

Skeff · Nov 22, 2013

If they can't get the price down to $500 they need to bundle stuff that is low cost for them, such as PS+ or Tearaway digital version.

Errrm you missed PS4 $399...

ginger ninja · Nov 22, 2013

not this year, i mean they will already be on their toes to fill up any supply shortages so will they crunch out more bundles especially expensive ones

Tearaway priced at 20 pounds in UK, SCEA pricing for that game is stupid D:
Also you missed the PS4. I don't include because my post is about "what the bundle should have" beside the obvious PS4 and Vita.

I was joking around, since he never said PS4 in his post.

betterman · Nov 22, 2013

If Sony wants to help Vita and put it back on market they must sells at 499.

Wouldn't include a memory card seeing as the new Vita has 1gig internal storage probably.

I just don't see how that is possible. what's the point of making $100 Vita TV then.

They haven't announced the VitaTV outside of Japan, have they? But still, even if they do a last minute reveal via a bundle like this, I'd still probably bite, because it's still essentially a PS4 in two rooms at once!

But if they do bundle a Vita portable (assuming the savings are there), I'd be hard pressed to say no, despite already owning a vita!!! And I almost always wait for the first hardware revision (which I'm hoping included 5GHz wifi, and coincides with a Vita revision that does the same, for improved Remote Play quality and connection).

Vita is dead all around except Japan. They must be aggressive. Take some loss during some time but make Vita alive.

How is the Vita going for mass exposure with the shitty single account sign situation? SONY WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Rafy · Nov 22, 2013

the box has a 4gb memory card on it next to the vita.

Nah.

- PS4+Knack (yes I know the reviews - fcuk'em)
- Vita+8GB memcard
- Tearaway (maybe digital copy)
- 3 months PSN+

$599 written in a massive font for total trololo.

I-hate-u · Nov 22, 2013

It better come to NA and the Vita better be OLED.

Because most people don't care. I never got that beside trying to get content from other areas. Which most people don't care about. Or if you're sharing a handheld. Which... People don't? Unless you're kidding. Whatever.

Make it $500, 8GB memory card, and a Tearaway voucher. Gangbusters.

Is that a date for the Vita version of Terraria? Looks like sometime next month.

TheJerit · Nov 22, 2013

i imagine they'll try to sale it for $549. still $50 off the reg price. But $500 would be redonkulous.
