Currently bad but I expect the price will adjust with an official announcement and retailers competing.2014-10-01 22:02:00

apparently a PS4 is 330 pounds and a game is 40, so this is a saving of about 13 pounds at the moment I take it?2014-10-01 22:41:00

Please come to the U.S....

Anyone else notice that Oddsock now has a scarf, Swoop is way more yellow, and Toggle has a checkered material? I think they're trying to distinguish the characters more on the new box-art.

Yeah its not the best value available right now but that can change as release gets closer, like the fifa last week the bundle was down to ?330 but it all depends how competitive retailers get.

I know, man. Me too.

I don't have a PS4 yet, so if the U.S. gets the bundle and no CE is forthcoming (Why don't they do this? They are losing free money) then I'll just go for that.

This bundle is a bit of a rip off. I am disappointed. Considering you can get a standard bundle with 1 or 2 games for around ?350. Or a Destiny bundle for ?340-360. You're better off buying the LBP3 game separately and buying a different bundle with 1-2 games for the price of the LBP3 bundle give or take a few ?'s. Not good value, do they think we're stupid or something. People always shop around online for better deals and check retail before deciding.

If it keeps at that price I may as well get a different bundle and have an extra 1-2 games to play with LBP3 for a similar price of ?386.78.

Update: It's even more on GAME UK: ?429.99! Looking at the Infamous, Destiny and Driveclub bundle it's works out cheaper (not by much around ?6-12 if you shop around online) to buy those bundles and then LBP3 separately.

Yeah, I don't think Sony has ever been the type to slash prices of their consoles, even for bundles. Now if this bundle came with the PS4 camera and was the same price, that'd be a great deal.

Or they can make a LBP3 bundle with 2 controllers. It kind of goes hand-in-hand (that pun!) with the game's focus on co-op, and would be a great option for families getting it for their kids.

You'd be totally wrong there. Some of the bundles Sony has had so far have been ridiculous value. It's a hot topic all over the internet at the moment. How do I know this? Because off of the back of these bundles and the hype they've created, I started a thread on VGC.

This bundle in particular did rather well:

?369.85:

There have been many more.

I get what you're saying Gribble, but I was mainly referring to the official bundles complete with the game's artwork on the box. (Destiny bundle, Infamous bundle, LBP bundle)

Those screenshots look like temporary promotions that include games with the standalone PS4. Sorry, I probably should've been more clear at what I meant by 'bundles'.

Its only really in the last month or so that the value has shifted so far away from official bundles. Most of the year it's been console for ?350 bundle ?385 saving roughly ?15 now we're in the run up to christmas and its a free for all as everyone tries to grab sales.2014-10-07 01:13:00

Oh, OK, I understand what you mean now. I still have to question that perception though. Every exclusive so far has had a bundle.

What I was saying though was they weren't that great of value in savings, in say, compared to the Xbox One Fifa $399 bundle. Typically we only save 10 bucks at most, at least in the US.

There was no point in Sony offering the same deals as MS. The only reason MS did that is because they were (and still are) getting slaughtered in sales. Destiny on the PS4 outsold the XB1 version by 2:1 and sold 300k more consoles that week. FIFA just sold 3.5:1 in favour of the PS4 and sold 100k more consoles. The gap is now around 6m and growing every week. But we are heading into the period of the year where the XBox division has always dominated so Sony will want to make sure it doesn't happen this year by offering the deals I've posted. September has seen over 1m sales of the PS4 (roughly twice that of the XB1), so one month down and three to go. Now is the time to buy a PS4 because October is going to be an incredible month for deals and games but if you just want it for LBP3, wait.

What I'm saying is: Hold off on buying this at the moment and wait for extra incentives to be added to the bundle. Probably mid October to early November. You'll probably get added PS+ subscription and a game ot two added.

That's what I'm thinking of doing... Although $600 is a lot for buying a PS4 (with tax) and LBP3 separately. If that's the case I'll just get it for PS3.

Oops I meant 500.

PS4 is $400, PS4 tax is $30, LBP3 is $60 plus tax... and that's not counting any Protection Plans or a PS Plus subscription (which actually would bump it up to 600!)
