They could make the bundle 600$ if they wanted if it was custom they can also redesign the center black part like you saw in this threads designsWhy would they make a custom console when they can sell you the custom faceplates for £30 separately?

Nothing says they would have to charge more (look at ps4 special editions)

So then whats the difference between jsut buying the console and buying the plates separately?

The PS4 wasn’t as hard to get and produce and didn’t have interchangeable plates. You had to buy a whole new console to get a limited edition
You can just don't use the code it's possible. The horizon bundle is $550 if they sell it for 570 bundle with GOW then what's the problem? If someone don't want it buy console only.
I brought last month a PS5 not a bundle from Amazon. They continue to sell it.

This does show you can redesign the center in a themed console and not just plates

I have a white dualsense and i don’t want to be forced to get a 2nd white one and a themed console bundle would have come with its own special controller (in this case the ragnarok controller)

I still have mine unopened. Thankfully Amazon did not charge any more than normal for shipping, even though it came from Europe, since they only released them there.
But I get what you mean, lol.

I’ve honestly never even see the regular ps4 in person. I didn’t get mine until the slim + Uncharted 4 bundle

Found the one person at the butt end of 2022 that still cares about having a useless box and disc.

What benefit does this offer to the end consumer over just buying the console and the game seperately? A god of war cardboard sleeve around the console? Will this be cheaper or what?

Convenience of a one stop shop. People like bundles since the NES.

So basically no advantages. What’s the advantages for Sony?

Hasan could’ve been an only fans star with those meaty lips. But no. The world has lost the greatest new survival horror and 10 clips of Hasan with a fleshlight. Grim.

As if there are any PS5s that were waiting to be moved in the first place.

What he means is this is gonna move a lot of forced retailer bundles. Gamestop is probably putting together some 800 dollar bundles as we speak

That’s odd, plenty of console players talk about trading their games in to make those $70 games sting less.

Sounds like someone who’s made horrible life choices.

I was expecting a real bundle - oh well, a few minutes ago I ordered a ps5 (+ controller) and pre-ordered the game.

You know it's interesting. I was at my local gamestop the other day and saw PS5's in stock in a glass case. I expressed my astonishment to the employee who then told me that they weren't for sale until the 9th. It didn't occur to me until a little while after that this was GOW's release date. They weren't bundles or anything. Makes me think Sony is really preparing to sell a shitload of consoles starting on that day through the end of the year.

Yeah, all those ps5’s they got will be bundled with another controller, a dock, pulse 3d headphones, a camera, and two other games. 3rd christmas in a row where they are treating the ps5’s like a new console launch

Or someone that does not come from your country and his salary is 600-700€ and he can't pay 10% of his salary for a game when his electricity had gone 300% up. Take your head out of your ass so you can start smelling fresh air and think more clearly.

Videogames are hardly a necessity. Not everyone that plays them can spend 70 dollars per game. Or 80 euros in Europe. There's european countries where the minimum wages are 700€ Imagine spending 80€ in a single game for those people.
It's a big world out there and the possibility of a recession is also getting closer.
You should check some countries minimum wages before saying people are making horrible life choices. Plus how the dollar is now worth quite a lot more than even the Euro, which is why there's huge increases in prices everywhere outside of america.

Remember when bundles were not just a cash grab to not sell your console at over MSRP? This is super lame, sorry, no individual consoles available since we only packaged a 1000, here buy this bundle, we happened to make a million. Don't like GOW? We don't care.
Since the console is selling like hotcakes everywhere already, what other possible reason would you have for bundling your newest game? It's not to be nice or to increase sales, we know that.

The bundles were always designed to be cash grabs. The only bundles that weren’t over MSRP is usually the slim model bundles once the console has been out for some time.
If your looking to buy a PS5 right now, 9 times out of 10 your also looking to pick up GOW or COD or Horizon FB so don’t see the issue with the bundles. No one buys a console without games.

Yeah especially during the holidays as gifts. Only problem is god of war is a mature rated game so its gonna be weird to gift them to kids

weird how no one ever gets passionate about
MSRP was $379.99, you would think reading Gaf this year that sony invented console bundles. In fact, nintendo rarely releases a first party game without a bundle

Did you just come to Earth this week?
Usually bundled games get dismissed when they're free with the console. Now its this. Did you not see the CoD and Fifa PS5 bundles? How about Xbox Series bundles?
What will be the bundle boogie man next gen....stay tuned.
Exactly. But you know good n well this doesn't count for massive reasons.weird how no one ever gets passionate about

I think every Switch bundle was more due to the game it came with.
Here's another one:
