To be clear all 3 stores have the Standard and SE, only Walmart has the infinity bundle.
Doesn't really looks great to me. The controller is kind of nice though.

It's about a 500 dollar sexy ass looking controller.

thanks Obama?
You can buy those from the PSN store whenever they go up.
Well I'm not sure what your level of fandom is. But I think it looks amazing. So who is right and who is wrong?
If I didn't like Star Wars and I didn't like the design I wouldn't buy it either.

Done!!! GAF gives encouragement and hope.
Or buy a disc drive and swap it yourself? Or use warranty?
All which are significantly cheaper than paying $450.

That would be far too coincidental.

The limited edition batman bundle was the same price though....and it only came with 1 game unlike this one.

Its the same with Wal-Mart too. Wish Best Buy would do it this way. Sure makes paying easier.
CE bundle will no doubt be sold at a premium price. The regular bundle will be $400 and could easily be bundled with another game.

Amazon.co.uk has the bundle, but with 1tb HDD: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ZG1TO5K/
I know, I'm just being a bit facetious guys.

$450 are they insane? At least put a 1tb HDD in that thing.
Really like that controller design. Dammit Sony I want to play driveclub and Uncharted collection.

Pre-ordered. Amazon has wised up and won't let me buy more than one though...
Not sure I will keep it. $450 is steep when I can probably get a standard bundle for $350 on Black Friday.

You can only buy one so no scalping.
Don't expect one. Sony are hitting their margins at this current price while outselling the competition. They will still sell well this holiday and hit their margins even if they get outsold by the competition.
Ultimately Sony doesn't care about losing a couple of months especially when they will sell well. They'll still make plenty of money

It let me grab two right when it went up. I ordered them back to back.
Err. That would really frustrate me. I really want to buy a PS4 this holiday and refuse to buy it for $449 (CDN) when the XBONE has been a $100 cheaper at times
It's still possible , however unlikely, that Sony could announce a price cut. Didn't Microsoft take $50 off all Xbox models for a time being last year?
It's more likely that they will announce a "holiday bundle" that will be $399 but include two games instead of one.
If Microsoft decides they want to go lower , maybe Sony will respond.
One good thing about Amazon is that pre order guarantee, so if for some reason they or Sony decides to drop the price we will get the sale amount without having to contact customer service.
I doubt we will see any "Black Friday" deals on a limited edition bundle. You are paying a premium to have Darth Vader on your console, and Star Wars themed dual shock. You can always buy the "standard" bundle if you don't care about the console.

It comes with 5 star wars games (including the $70 Deluxe Battlefront Edition) and it is a limited console edition like arkham knight which cost the same.
This means a price drop could still happen people.
This. People seem to be jumping to conclusions that a price drop won't happen for sure just because the price of these bundles were announced. The PS4 can still get a price drop to $349 with the standard edition Battlefront bundle priced at $399 and it is still good value.
To be fair the standard edition costs $399 too and it comes with the same games. The extra $50 is purely based on the console and dual shock.
I was hoping since the destiny limited edition was only $399...this would be too...but I guess not
Yes

Do we have confirmation that the Regular Battlefront bundle comes with the 5 games or just the Deluxe edition of battlefront?
I thought it only brought the deluxe edition which is still good value
Edit: Got it backwards the regular bundle brings the 4 games but it only gives you the standard edition of battlefront so the SE adds a $20 value in contrast to the regular bundle so it isn't just a $50 SE cost they charge you.

they could sell a million of these easily. you are right.
I'm like the other way around. Nice looking controller, rather sub-par looking system.
