Sony Targeting Big Holiday Sales with New PS5 Fortnite Bundle, Includes Exclusive Cosmetics

It would have been kinda cool if the console had Fortnite themed plates and perhaps the controller that was released a while back aswell. It is good to see that Sony are pushing the Disc based console however, more people to support Disc based media is good for the industry!! 😄

I have no interest in Fortnite personally. But yeah, seeing as they own a 5% stake in Epic Games, these kinds of deals seem like a no brainer

@Bionic-Spencer crazy that they're now the last company with True physical media now that Switch 2 has gone for those crappy key cards and Xbox can't be bothered to put data in their disc's.

What is truly crazy is how Fortnite have managed to keep people playing it for so many years

I get why they're "bundling" it with Fortnite even if you can just download it fro free anyway but those exclusive cosmetics are dreadful, surely they could have done something better

I feel like the only reason ps5 sells so well is because people have given up on Xbox entirely. No way it would be doing that well otherwise imo.

@Boxmonkey Yeah, it can't be the massive games catalogue that covers the entire PS4+PS5 generations, top quality controller(with best-in-class features), superfast SSD loading speeds on every game, cheap access to back catalogues via subscription services and the ability to play some of the greatest games ever created(Elden Ring, BG3 etc. etc.)

I hope there's at least another bundle option for Black Friday, surely a console and a game isn't too hard Sony?

Bundle it with Astrobot!!!

Glad I'm a substance person, wow that looks bland.

What superficial things to want a bundle for.

I bet collectors really care about those things and not the Fortnite audience or those that don't have a PS5 yet. Sigh.

They are trying but this is still a bit sad.

There are better bundles, games, digital codes, and more they could make happen here, or plate colours/designs. But nope. They take the silliest route. Can't wait for the Fortnite PS6 when everyone has the game already so why buy a whole console bundle for it when they can just buy a PS6 and still redownload it. XD

@AhmadSumadi Seen retailer bundles with it, they seemed fair for the price months ago half the year ago compared to other discounted prices for PS5s.

They should try put other colourerd plates or controllers or games to bundle.

I mean if Nintendo can put Mario Kart (even Gameboy games with Pokemon 3DS systems, Sony would never do that with like a Ratchet Rift Apart and Size Matters bundle or something or God of War 3 and one of the Norso games or Horizon duology bundle or any other angles) to many bundles let alone other games, why does Sony hold off, who knows, they already put digital codes in bundles or collectors editions anyway. It is weird they don't go as hard on it for Helldivers or others (unless I just haven't seen any) or other live service games to attach them with or other bundles with their existing games.

Even Sega didn't shy away from Sonic Movie collectibles bundled with games to get rid of them. Some companies are just willing to go to certain lengths I guess.

@SeaDaVie I mean even besides the quality 1st party (not my interest but I get why they do).

But I mean it's not like Xbox back compat, more app access then Switch/PS4/5 combined (Windows store), CD support (app to download so might as well have a PS3/360, older or CD player or CD support in a DVD/Blu-ray player at that point), Quick Resume, Impulse triggers.

We all know no one cares about those (joke and serious with this).

I consider them features and benefits but to most people they don't matter and we know how the 1st party on Xbox are anyway.

Or if they have a Series S or cloud access via a phone, TV compatible with it and more then they likely do at this point.

If they like the box they do for their reasons but yes it's clear otherwise.

Unless it's brand loyalty yes most people go to PS5 as a good default console, features they may like the other doesn't have, PlayStation is in more regions then Xbox and other factors I'm probably missing.

So yeah if people are sick of Xbox I'd believe it the same way many are saying about moving to PC as well yet forget the price, troubleshooting and more they like to downplay for 'power' as if PC users aren't stupid and know what it requires. XD

Im looking into a 2nd PS5 for upstairs as the one downstairs on the main TV is in use for TV, but it wouldnt mean my girlfriend can have her own and then we can co-op more.

Hoping for that near £300 price drop even if its the one with the lower original Storage I have A WD 1TB NVME black not in use
