Sony's landing some haymakers right now in the UK. In addition to some incredibly aggressive Horizon: Zero Dawn advertising – it's even on freakin' buses here – the platform holder has also worked with retailers to reduce the price of the PlayStation 4 Slim. Up until recently, you could get the console alongside Guerrilla Games' role-playing game and an additional controller for £229.99 from Amazon UK. Unsurprisingly, stock has now disappeared.
But if you're still in the market for the machine and Aloy's adventure, then Argos has followed up with a £199.99 door buster. And yes, just to be clear, that does come with a copy of Horizon: Zero Dawn. You can jump on that through here while stocks last.
It's pretty clear that PlayStation UK is betting big on the new property – and it's also probably hoping to rain on the Nintendo Switch's parade. With great pricing incentives and incredible marketing muscle like it's showing at the moment, we wouldn't be surprised if it was successful – there's a chance that the PS4 may outsell Nintendo's new console in the UK this week. Admittedly, it's a slim one – but the Japanese giant's going for it all the same.

Go Sony go!
My copy arrived just now! Goodbye guys, it was fun meeting you...see you in 80 hours
@AFCC Enjoy!
Does the Argos one come with an Extra Controller too? If not that's not quite as good a deal as the Amazon and Game offerings - Game I think also included a NowTV subscription (3months I think). Considering controllers normally cost £40-50, an extra one for essentially £30 is not a bad deal - no wonder they sold out fast.
I don't know if 'bundled' versions count towards the 'sales chart' but considering you can't get hold of them, the limited and collectors editions now, you would think that Horizon is going to have a great opening week...
Still waiting for my Postman to deliver my copy. My new DS4 arrived yesterday to replace my Day1 V2 DS4 (that came with the Pro) that's already worn out.
Whilst buying a Switch and Zelda will cost you around £330.
@Bread-Not-Toast not to mention you'd have to buy some memory cards and a proper controller
@get2sammyb thanks!
I don't know if you saw what I posted in another topic but I'll ask you here, if you don't mind!
I'm loving the game so far, I think is the most original open world game in a long long time...but there's something annoying me! Sometimes in the open world or in a cutscene the music stops so quickly that it brings the immersion down a bit! Is this normal? Did this ever happen to you?
@BAMozzy No extra controller at Argos.
