Black Flag was a great AC game for many people and you dont even know how Unity will turn out.

Gotta downplay the great Xbox deal though, I understand.

Huh? AssCreed just sucks man. No one is attacking your XBox. The SO bundle looks great.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

if you read the thread, you'd see it was pointed out already, meight.

Who has time to read more than the OP, and a half-dozen or so posts before making a quippy response? I don't. I'm at work!

Ok. .ok. I see it now. I scanned too quickly.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

I think its kind of gross to attack Black Friday with a bundle that only includes next gen ports.

I don't understand. What are you talking about?

 

[Chobel]

I don't think that is the official bundle but just a bundle Dell is doing.

I don't there will be any official bundle from Sony this Holiday (other than Destiny bundle).

I don't understand. What are you talking about?

He's concerned.

 

[Guevara]

I hope we all learned our lessons: it pays to wait AND late November always brings better deals.

 

[Shanlei91]

Console sitting to the left is advertised $70 less than the bundle the thread is for. Poor guy can't catch a break.

 

[sam777]

Why would that matter? Do you think they've suddenly given a shit about that series? I have news for you.

Edited. Was only following my posts replies.

 

[krypt0nian]

Because you are judging the game before you or any of the public has even played the game, so stop making assumptions.

What did Bish say?

 

[3rdamention]

sigh. bundles like these make me feel bad for day one purchases of consoles.

Dont feel sorry for me. I have been playing my PS4 for nearly a year. I think paying $400 for a console with no games, for the past year, is better than NOT playing my PS4 for the past year just to wait and pay $400 for a console with 2 free games.

 

[Servbot24]

I wonder if Sony hasn't announced a bundle because they're betting a retailers doing it and taking the hit for them?

 

[Maintenance]

If it was MCC, SO or FH2 on that bundle, then fine. But it has AC.

And yes, I understand that you can get one of those games and still be under 399, but I'm talking about the bundle.

 

[burgerdog]

Could people stop misusing "gross" please?

Seriously, everything is "gross" all of a sudden.

 

[evilromero]

I'm in. I'll be awake for this.

Pfft

Don't feel bad for me, I regret nothing. My PS4 is amazeballs.

 

[JesseZao]

That's a steal if I could get it. With that said, I have no interest in GTAV. I could always sell it.

Same. As long as the digital codes aren't tied to each other, I'm interested.

 

[SerTapTap]

Probably. Though the issue with that is retailer bundles can be a lot harder to actually come by, an official bundle I would trust to stay in stock for a reasonable amount of time. If I were still looking for a PS4 I'd keep an eye on this one but would assume it'd sell out before I could get my grubby paws on it

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

So much for Microsoft winning any NPD numbers by years end.

Awesome bundle.

 

[BPoole]

Hmm, I would buy TLOU on PS4 since I never played it for PS3, but I intend to buy GTAV for PC. I could probably just sell GTAV and then basically get the PS4 and TLOU for $350.

But I've also been heavily considering a Wii U + Bayo 2 and Smash.

Decisions, Decisions...

 

[ukas]

It's a good deal, but the Xbox One deal is better (you can add GTA5 and it'll still be below 399$)

Except you can't get The Last of Us on Xbone.

 

[Shanlei91]

If it was MCC, SO or FH2 on that bundle, then fine. But it has AC.

And yes, I understand that you can get one of those games and still be under 399, but I'm talking about the bundle.

If I got it, I would sell the two AC games immediately to bring the bundle to below 300.

eh to me, and I would imagine to others as well, the PS4 bundle is attractive price wise and game wise and the Xbox bundle is only attractive price wise. It needs FH2 or SO to trump the PS4 bundle. IMO.

 

[Majmun]

The X1 deal is just $20 cheaper than the current price...

 

[Philippo]

b-but they told me Sony doesn't have any strong exclusive to make strong sales this holiday!

 

[DustyVonEric]

Can we call this the "Last Gen Bundle"?

I'll take it! And buy LBP3 with it. uuuunnnnnggghhhhh can't wait

 

[NullPointer]

They really need to include one more first party title. Killzone is the perfect candidate as a tech showpiece and a free title.

Killzone needs some loving definitely. They've updated the shit out of that game's multiplayer since release too. Was thinking about a RTTP thread but figure the game would be lost in the COD and MCC release windows.

Played a bit of co-op last night and its stunning how good it looks and plays.

If not then I hope it goes PS+ soon. Guerrilla's been kicking ass with it - there's just nobody playing it ;p

 

[SerTapTap]

It has Black Flag too...though it's only worth $22 according to amazon. Certainly not as impressive as the PS4 bundle.

 

[kabel]

Who told that?

Sony has the exclusive marketing for GTAV Remastered.

 

[Seanspeed]

You can either of those games on top of the ones in the deal for less than $400 total.

 

[Shanlei91]

The plushy you get in the first batch of LittleBigPlanet 3 copies is the best exclusive this holiday season.

 

[ryan299]

That PS4 deal is pretty good but I have no desire to play gta 5 again. Think I'm going to wait until next fall to get a bundle with uncharted. Nothing coming out for ps4, that's been announce, really exites me

 

[Discusguy]

I would have jumped into greatness if the ps4 was $299 for that deal.

Great deals all around for people that think its worth it though.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

*brofist* that thing is going on my headboard

Not even Bloodborne?

:O

It's not exactly the best looking plush, but I still went and made sure to get one

Absolutely disgusting.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

299 bundle with two games, one of which is brand new, a year after launch?

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Well neither of these deals are enough to get me to buy. I already own a PS4 though so maybe I'm just biased but I don't think it sounds all that great for a BF deal. I bet Amazon or Target or Best Buy will have something to sweeten the deals.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

That's a really good deal on both consoles. I'm excited to see what other deals will show up.

 

[ryan299]

Not even Bloodborne?

:O

Nope, those dark souls type games don't really interest me. Hopefully next year they'll be a naughty dog bundle that includes uncharted and last of us.

 

[Mushroomer25]

The X1 deal is just $20 cheaper than the current price...

But in a side-to-side comparison, is $70 less for a fairly close value.

GTA V is a big name, but so is AC. Unity also has the benefit of being brand new. AC4 v TLOU is way more subjective. TLOU is great, but doesn't have the name recognition of AC. For enthusiasts, the PS4 offering is more tasty. But I'm honestly not sure which way the mass audience would side.

Spoiler

Though it's ultimately pointless, since these are doorbusters and both will sell out within seconds.

$299? Seriously?

 

[Jigolo]

How can something be a door buster if it's online exclusive?

lol

 

[Guevara]

I'm like Melly Gibsons in Braveheart right now: "Hold! Hooold!"

 

[sam777]

What did Bish say?

Yeah I missed it, was only following my replies but in my opinion both the deals are good. So consumers win.

 

[RBH]

The X1 deal is just $20 cheaper than the current price...

Pretty sure they made the ad prior to the $349 announcement (note the $399 "market value" price point in the ad). Not sure if that means they'll change the price of the XB1 bundle further prior to Black Friday or if they'll just leave it as is.

I dont know we cant just say both are great deals and not make it a competition.

AC is not a big name next to GTA.
