It’s no surprise to see Sony pushing Monster Hunter: World hard – this is a huge title for both the PlayStation 4 and Capcom itself. As such, a Limited Edition hardware bundle always seemed likely – and that’s exactly what the platform holder announced during its TGS 2017 press conference earlier today.
Set to release on 7th December in Japan – several weeks prior to the game it’s inspired by, we should add – the ¥49,980 (~$448) set includes a 1TB PS4 Pro with a themed top panel, a custom DualShock 4, a digital copy of Monster Hunter: World (which can’t be played until 26th January), an exclusive theme, two months of PlayStation Plus, and a branded box.
There’s no word on this being made available in the West, but we certainly wouldn’t say no to it. After a string of icky custom consoles, this one actually looks pretty nice, don't you think?

I quite like it. It's subtle, but still obvious if that makes sense.
@get2sammyb When this sells well at launch and the PS4 Slim has a bad week is @ShogunRok going to say PS4 is doomed in Japan?
Its a long story, ask @mahe
@rjejr
So it's launching just before Christmas, but the game isn't out until January. That... Could be a pretty clever move.
@ShogunRok
Two birds, One stone.
This looks good.
Its not the first time Sony (or MS for that matter) release a 'custom' console for a 3rd Party multi-platform release. I think it makes sense to release in Japan - especially before the game releases. I think (although I could be wrong) that MH is more popular there per 'gamer' than in the west. Its also better looking than the CoD:WW2 custom console - although the controllers in the camo was quite a cool idea...
This is the first themed PS4 that actually looks awesome. Wish they would put this much attention to other models
Best looking custom console I've seen in a long long time.
Not sure about this bundle but I want the Collector's Edition! Any idea if the digital copy of the game comes with bonus DLCs?
Really like the console - think this is the first LE I have liked. Dislike the controller though. Whats up with only two mobths Ps Plus though? Seems a little mean. Surely three should be offered
I want this bundle so bad
I REALLY want this but I already have a Pro. I would buy the controller if I could at least.
@Splat I think Japanese games special edition consoles like this usually get release in SEA only.
I'm waiting to see what they will do for...
Days Gone, Spiderman, God Of War, Ni No Kuni ll, The Last Of Us ll. Woul be awesome to see an Egyptian theme based on Origins.
Looks good... for a Pro.
