Vita/PS4 'Ultimate' bundle in-bound this year - MCV
- Thread starter V_Ben
- Start date
Really? I just see Playstation 4 System, Playstation Vita System, ??? Card (guessing the last one is a vita memory card, sort of looks like 8GB)
I hope this will get some Vitas in peoples hands and help with word of mouth. Nearly everyone using the Vita falls in love with it, people just need to get over all the bad prejudices it got
If it is, damn that ****** for that picture :/
At least it is still 2013.

Only slightly exaggerating. I think it's a bit backwards considering other portable devices allow for that (iOS and Android)
It's a huge headache for me considering I have to juggle between a local account and a UK account I had to make since my region wasn't in PSN when I got my PS3. The UK one has all my friends and trophies in it, the local one has PS+ and a lot of PSN/PS3 games.
You can see why it would bothersome for me.
I am hoping for the same pricepoint

maybe they're hoping that PS4 sold out everywhere and the only way to get 1 is Ultimate bundle. that way they can be less concerned about value. lol

Make it £100 extra and I'll bite.

If it's not more than 500€ I would so buy it.
Man, if only.

I know it's a long shot but you can already get Vitas for about £140 or so plus it blows MS when they price a Vita/PS4 bundle together for nearly the same price as an XB1.
If this is priced right I'll hold off on launch for this bundle.

Man if they get this out next month at around the price of the Xbox One it would be great, its a dam shame they didn't do it sooner - I would have launched the pack on the very same day the Xbox One released.

That's what I'm expecting, would be kinda pointless otherwise.
2 things NEED to happen.
$500 price. A PS4/Vita combo would be VERY compelling sitting next to a xbox one on the shelf. Make up the loss on game sales and PS+.
Allow multiple accounts on the Vita. Want to act like the Vita is a portable PS4? Don't put stupid account restrictions, or you are going to have a lot of disappointed families when they realize they all need to use the same PSN account to play PS+ games on the vita and even to Remote Play. Fine go ahead and make strict rules(something like you can only switch accounts to a different Vita once in a year) to discourage abuse, but they need to do something about it.

Oh, man. If selling the Vita for ~£80 (bundled) is not too much of a hit, wonder if they could nail it at £429. That would be brutal.

Yeah, they missed the boat on this thing. I would have snapped this up in a heartbeat at launch.
Now it's just waiting for a Black Friday deal.
Nice!
Didn't think it'd be done this year if at all.
Already have a vita, so no need for me to invest in this personally, but hope its a good price. If that picture is real, seems it's the original vita too for people wanting OLED.
Hope this persuades developers to develop on vita more after this.
This bundle though... 1 hell of a Christmas present! Ha ha.

Somewhere in Europe, the pegi 3 symbol is on the box, my guess UK. PS Via are going for £100-£150 in stores here.
Looks like 8GB to me.
The point could be that they will sell out anyway (even at 599) because people might just get the bundle at any price - at least this year.
As much as we want Sony to cut price and sell at 500 currency, it ain't happening. They know these things will sell out and this is potentially the only time for the Vita to garuntee ride on the PS4 coattails.

They should have launched with this as a SKU considering how some tout it as a killer app.

dat retail confusion tho
This bundle makes sense if they can price at no more than 500€.
For just 100€ you'd get a remote player for PS4, a portable console with compatibility with Psone, PSP and Vita games and also you'd get more value out of the PS+ subscription because of the free Vita games every month.
This would have a chance of moving a few Vitas this holiday season but I guess Sony would lose too much on the hardware since both PS4 and Vita would be sold at a loss.
I guess the price will be 550€ throwing in a memory card and a voucher for downlodable games like Tearaway and Killzone Mercenary.
But at that price I don't see the bundle to be very successful.

Sony could make it successful if all the other ps4 bundles will be sold out.

Fly off the shelves might be a stretch.
I don't think this thread is getting the traction it deserves.
FTA: "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.".
It's almost as if they've been listening to me, thank fuck!

Not at all, if people see the savings they'd make on getting each separate, then compare that to the Bone, it will certainly fly off the shelves.

500 euro's should be possible but 500 dollars...... noway Sony is going to take such a loss.
What was the marketing budget last year for COD, AC and NFS? I thought they spent quite a bit and the results were minimal.
They were actually happy with the results as far as I can remember. There was an interview with Gara about it. Also zomg mentioned last year that having access to the UK numbers Vita went from abmyssal to ok numbers.
I think this would have more affect than those games though. Public awareness of the Vita is minimal compared to the PS4, and seeing the Remote Play feature would get a lot of the casuals in.
All depends on the price though. Considering the Vita can be had for around £140, they have to be reasonable. I really think it would be wise for them to take a hit on the Vita just to get the units out there.
Yeah but Sony all along have pretty much said they are happy with the Vita sale numbers.

Question is... is it the 2000(LCD) series or Launch version(OLED)?
