PS4 Black Friday Bundle

The folks over in Redmond are playing price limbo with the Xbox One, and that puts Sony in a precarious position. Having already smashed September sales records with its Destiny bundle, the platform holder doesn’t necessarily need to price the PlayStation 4 any lower – but it suddenly finds itself with the most expensive console on the market in North America, and may need to react as a result.

This is something that it’s been doing in the UK for months now, matching Microsoft at every move – but there’s been no sign of a response to its competitor’s temporary price promotions overseas. However, a leaked Black Friday bundle suggests that the Japanese giant may not be rolling over after all, as it’s readying an online exclusive door buster with Dell, which will see you nab a 500GB console, a copy of Grand Theft Auto V, and The Last of Us: Remastered for $399.99.

While the miserable among you may be eager to point and laugh at the presence of two PlayStation 3 re-releases, this is an impressive deal – especially when you consider that, like it or not, these are likely to end up the two highest rated releases of the year. And with this deal not set to go into effect until 27th November, there’s plenty of time for comparable options to be announced. The price war is only just getting started.
