It's as if Sony only ships PS5s to UK...

For free, LMAO, what a dumb argument. Like saying it's "free on gamepass" is dumb, but saying it here is just whoa. You pay for the game MrFunnySocks, you can't get that PS5 without paying for the game that's the thing, you just get a 10£ discount.
They can't stock PS5s fast enough but you thought they were already giving away shit for free?

Why is it that whenever I see your post it’s always something incredibly stupid? You could have saved yourself the embarrassment and simply looked up the price of the bundle.

My original post is asking who makes them. How does that make me "bothered"?
I want to know if the game assets are out there, because I'm a Blender user and would love access to some of these.
EDIT:
Ah, thanks. That sucks

It's one of the best ways to promote a game. And it was done all by devs. No corporate overloads!

To me it's very clever and there are skills involved. It's a fun way to engage your community instead of soulless PR talking

Seriously, it is an incredibly effective marketing/fanservice. On a game forum no less, what's not to love?
I think what is happening is that it is mostly Sony devs taking the time to actually do it so people of course have to hate it. Lol

Anything even associated with PS5 is flying off shelves at the moment and this is just ratchet and clank. Can you imagine spider-man 2 or god of war ragnarok?
Those who don't like sales talk are going to get mad and be salty alot this generation. How dare we get information on sales? That should be hidden because sales ain't important even though I have to enter every fucking sales thread to bitch and moan.

I have you on ignore but time to destroy your argument with proof.
No the game isn't being given away for free even with the bundles that Sony has.
Edit: Can you prove the game is being given away for free

They might release to late with already dropped demand.
All assuming a Q1 2022 release for HZD and Q4 2022 for God of War.
The demand for 500 quid+ consoles will go down.
So they have to sell at MSRP and with free games at some point

Unfortunately I don't see that happening anytime soon. At least not during this year.

100% fact! Which is weird because if Nintendo or MS devs did it with their characters, I'd love them too. Even though I don't own those consoles. Not sure why EVERYTHING has to come back to console wars.

Whatever gives you a stiffy I suppose
Quite frankly it’s a boring topic in my opinion, unless we’re talking mammoth numbers on an outlier like Animal Crossing.I’m glad Sony are doing well with physical sales though, as I am for Nintendo, and I’m glad Microsoft are killing it on Steam. Good for all three I suppose.

thats why theres price cuts after 2 years and also big software to maintain sales. sony will easily maintain around 20m ps5's sold yearly.
what makes you think sales will slow down anyway? they usually peak out like 3 or 4 years into the cycle, so sales will only go up or stay flat at the least. dont forget, sony will also be able to manufacture more aswell. even without a price cut, something as big as spider-man can drive sales on its own.

thats what im saying. i dislike it for the fanboy wars aspect but who gives a shit about that childish shit? i have a passion for videogames and its interesting to know how a game is performing in the market. it doesnt matter to me if its sony, microsoft or nintendo. why do people who dislike uk sales threads even enter? they only enter to stir shit up.

It’s the only way to buy a PS5 for the people buying it. Many people that don’t want and wouldn’t have bought R&C bought this bundle.
I can’t believe I had like 5 people quote that post to say “nuh uh, it’s more expensive!” like it matters. The customers didn’t have a choice if they wanted a PS5, that’s the point.

Free-ish.
Of course. Some are acting like:
It wouldnt be #1 without bundles
No one had a PS5 before the bundle.
Its wild.

I'm not saying sales will slow down.
I'm saying demand at more than 500 will drop.
So the same you're saying. The price drops will hep.
There is still a 50m demand for a PS5 at 300.
But not at 500+

The reason people were quoting you is your original statment was flat out wrong lol IT WAS NOT GIVEN AWAY FOR FREE (see how that works)
As for your new statement...Do you have any proof of that statement?
Has the bundle replaced the current PS5 SKUs?
Do you KNOW people didn't want that add in (which would be odd considering there are numerous OTHER bundles to choose from lol) or is it a guess?
Oh and No choice?
on page 1 alone there are 13 bundles that don't include Rift Apart

Was it given away free as you said earlier?
Was Ratchet the ONLY bundle available?

GAME had some in stock a couple of days ago. There was like 15+ different bundles you could buy in addition to just the digital & disc on their own
Now please stfu and change your socks already you scruffy bastard

But that were pre-orders to be shipped end of this week / early next week.
Or did they just low ball shipping estimates and people already got their PS5s from that game.co.uk drop?
This topic is about sales from last week.

They are forced bundled games for near full game price sadly.
I was forced to have Myles Morales with my ps5 purchase, would have much preferred it if they let me choose what I game I wanted to buy with the console instead back then.
Now the bundles are ratchet and clank, so if people want the console bad enough, they will have to buy with ratchet even if they don't want ratchet, smart move I guess, surprised they didn't do it with returnal too

There was a Ratchet bundle as an option when GAME had some in stock in addition to all the others
Point is, if you wanted a PS5, getting the Ratchet bundle wasn't the only way this week and it sure as shit wasn't the only way last week

If you don't want people to quote you.

Just some memes became cringe.
They should instead create new one, not copy popular memes.

Those that bought the PS5 bundle most likely already wanted the Ratchet and Clank game anyways, so it's a win win where they didn't have to go looking for it.
System seller confirmed.

It's not like it's a terrible game that Sony isn't able to sell. People are literally buying PS5s to play R&C. I definitely would love to buy a bundle like that.

Still full price in Australia.
Or maybe they couldn't find physical copies of the game, and buying a console bundle was the only way for them to get one? Well played Sony, well played....
