Introducing the Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Pro Bundle

Considering the advantage Scorpio will have and the lack of a true Sony customized console bundle, I'm not sure what this will accomplish. Does Sony have any timed dlc exclusive content?

Not a misson, not a map .. sounds like a gun or maybe a hat!

What does it accomplish?
Having it’s name tied to the console and a value for people who want the game and the Pro for a lower priced package.
Not that hard to figure out.

question about the ps4 pro
if you dont use it for 4k, does the system recognize this and automatically switch to a mode to increase performance? Also would this performance mode be in everygame or the hardware improvements be actually something you experience on the day to day use?
I got my Pro before I got a 4K TV and I can say without hesitation that the image quality was significantly improved using the Pro on my 1080p Sony that I was using at the time.

Of course I now have an LG OLED and playing the generic PS4 and/or Xbox One S on it looks terrible. Non-enhanced games are practically unplayable to me.

So for $400 you still get the inferior version of RDR2, or for $60 you can just buy for X1X that you already own.

Well no shit Sherlock. Obviously if you are an Xbox gamer and own an X1X it makes sense to get the Xbox version of the game instead. Thank you Captain Obvious for pointing that out, and here I was thinking that Sony was trying to convince X1X owners to abandon their system and buy a whole new system instead of playing the game on there system.

Now that I have gotten the sarcasm to a stupid response out of the way let me clarify:
This bundle is merely an option for those who don't own either console and/or want an upgrade to the Pro from the One S and/or PS4 slim. In those cases this bundle could be a decent option. If you want the best version and don't own an X, then you will have to spend $560.

So 90% of people can complain it isn’t to their taste? Bundles are generally about a value proposition, not glitz.

Not complaining, I have a PS4 Pro in Black and would never get a special decal console anyway, I was just wondering why this game doesn't. If any game should, imo this should be one.

A Red Dead 2 badge and a different color variation of the Pro would have been fine imo

Nothing really would grab me to buy a red dead PS4 pro design wise. I just grabbed the spider man one because it was a lot different than some of the others.

Maybe something in a desert sand colour? That could be a cool theme-based console without a tacky over the top vibe.

You are unsure what the largest game of this gen will do in a bundle? How about sell bundles?
 
People are buying the Pro anyways, why not get it with a free game?

People who buy, besides FREE physical RDR2 copy, will also get a new Pro model. New model now has 72XX numbers. What are the changes, dunno.

It's a good bundle. Free $60 game. Most antiipated game of the gen.

You know, you could have had a RDR themed Pro without the game. You know who you are.

The biggest thing people missing here is that this game needs 105 GB of Diskspace. For a normal PS5 that is 1/5 which is pretty big.

Hopefully it will be quieter. Pro is loud unlike anything I have ever heard.

My buddy picked up a 7115 model in late August when they popped up briefly, and it is much quieter than the launch 7000. I wonder what else was done for the 7215. I have a gut feeling another revision was coming due to the shortages.

I won't talk bad about a free game being bundled. 499 is the CAD for a gameless PS4 Pro so its a good deal, and RDR2 though not my cup of tea is one of the biggest games this year.

But it would be nice if they spurced it up a little bit. Not asking for the console to be 10 different colors but maybe a little something.

Overall though still a good deal if you don't have the game and want to get a PS4.

Hell, it's even worse than that. I don't remember specifically, but only like 420GB of that drive are usuable. It's almost 1/4 of the hard drive! Insane.
 
hope their will be a Red Dead Xbox One X bundle too

Officially it won't because Sony has a marketing deal with that game, i mean, Rockstar. Well, maybe there will be some deals for like during past years - "buy an Xbone, choose any game for free"
