PlayStation 5 Bundle Discounted for The First Time

Sony has officially dropped its first major PS5 deal since launch day, with $50 off the PS5 God of War Ragnarok bundle for a limited time only.

FallenAngel19841169d ago

I’ll get one when there’s a more convenient slim model

PS4 will more than keep my interest until then

Blastoise1169d ago

I'm holding out for a Final Fantasy XVI bundle at this point, preferably with a nice special edition console.

Vits1169d ago

I don't know if convenient would be the correct word if the BD driver ended up being a separate module.

As for the sale, interesting. Both this and the Fifa bundle were constantly on sale in my country. Didn't even knew it was more expensive than just getting the console alone.

Bathyj1169d ago

Are you simply waiting for you don't have room for a ps5? You're missing out on these games. Even if you have them on PS4 they are not the same experience.

FallenAngel19841169d ago

@ Vit

Separate module? Dafuq you talking about

@ Bath

Those games aren’t going to go anywhere. In fact they’ll be even cheaper when I do upgrade so it’s not like I’m missing out.

I primarily played my PS3 and didn’t get a PS4 until 2016. Sony does wonders with their consoles getting a decade worth of support

darthv721169d ago

You seriously dont know? Its rumored Sony is making a new 5 that has a detachable optical drive. The premise is they can make one motherboard that will be used for both digital only and disc skus.

Anyone who buys the digital can turn it into a disc by popping off the side panel and slotting in the optical drive which would plug in via usb c on the back. And anyone who buys the disc sku could remove their drive if they wanted to.

Eidolon1169d ago

You just said you will be playing RE4 Remake on PS4. You can finance a PS5 for 12 months, 0% interest, and yet you're buying games for a 2013 console? Unless you're renting, it boggles my mind.

Eidolon1169d ago

@darthv72

That's actually a good idea. I read something about modular consoles way back.. It's sad that Microsoft went instead with what Xbox Series S is.

FallenAngel19841169d ago

@ darth

A frivolous rumor? And people are treating such a thing as an absolute?

@ Eid

Why would I finance the current PS5 when I just said I wanted a slimmer model?

Are you shaming people for enjoying a platform that still receives many of today’s hottest games?

Eidolon1169d ago (Edited 1169d ago )

@FallenAngel1984

Nope, it just boggles my mind that someone would still buy new games 3 years into the current gen for a console basically 1.5 gens behind and can't consider once upgrading, possibly out of principle? It can't be out of financial constraints, if you're still buying games.
You can enjoy whatever the hell you want, but I ask you why you wouldn't want to have the best experience if you can obviously afford it.

Immagaiden1169d ago

@ Eid

It bother you that much someone enjoys playing on a console of their preference?

It really doesn’t matter what year the platform or game came out? Anybody can enjoy anything at any point in time

FallenAngel19841169d ago

@ Eid

Didn’t I already just say I want a slimmer model?

And I bought digital games for my PS3, Wii U and Switch as well. The year a system or game comes out doesn’t make it any less enjoyable.

Idk what kind of elitist you think you are saying that it’s perplexing that someone can’t enjoy a game unless it’s on the latest console, but you do you.

Eidolon1169d ago (Edited 1169d ago )

@FallenAngel1984

They can be enjoyed.. but usually it's when it's the only way it can be experienced, or by constraints. you have no constraints, and you're only excuse is you're waiting for a slim console, which to me sounds outrageous.
You're ok with half the framerate(30fps with dips) and 1/2 - 1/4 the resolution because you're waiting for an aesthetic(slim), yet you're buying new games for the base PS4, when you could have probably afforded the PS5 a long time ago.. with all the time you spend contributing gaming news, it's actually mind boggling you're still behind with gaming systems.

FallenAngel19841169d ago

@ Eid

Oh so the enjoyment I’m getting from my various non-PS5 systems aren’t real? Does a game just lose value because it’s not played on PS5?

Dude get out of here with that early adopter nonsense. A title like The Legend of Dragoon got rereleased and a lot of people expressed excitement to relive a 20+ year old game. A great game is a great game no matter when it’s played.

Just reflect on how outrageous your own mindset is. Imagine telling anybody in any entertainment medium that they can’t enjoy something if it’s older than 3 years.

When I have access to over 600 titles spread over various platforms I’m in no rush to get a PS5. Idc what some early adopter elitist says. When I got the PS2, PS3, & Wii when they first came out I sure as hell didn’t come off as condescending to people who enjoyed previous gen systems. It just comes off as pretentious.

If all you care about is performance why are you even playing on PS5? Get a PC. Idk how my enjoyment of games on previous gen systems bothers you, but hey stay bothered cuz I’m still gonna keep waiting. Many of the PS4 games I’m getting have a free PS5 upgrade as an option, so I’m really not missing out on anything by waiting other than some elitist telling me how I should feel when playing my own library.

Patience of an angel I see 🤣😂

Retroman1169d ago (Edited 1169d ago )

Agree. but for me sold my ps5 and bought ps4 for now, it is keeping my interest until more suitable ps5 games comes out.
Such as Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 , R-type Final 2

FallenAngel19841168d ago

@ Ever

Not really. Sony makes it incredibly easy to wait especially with the numerous titles they give out each month on PS+ in addition to the discounts of titles.

My backlog is so huge that if I even had a PS5 now I’d still spend the majority of the time playing my massive PS4 library on it.

@ Retro

Street Fighter 6 is also coming to PS4 though

Good timing. My son’s been asking for his own. Might pick up #2 tomorrow.

Aloymetal1169d ago

You and your kid enjoy your second PS5!

P_Bomb1169d ago

Thx I appreciate it, heh.

Gamer_Dude1169d ago

I'm critical of some of your statements but down votes for this is just ridiculous.

That’s cool. You basically get GoW Ragnarok for free .

I’m trying to hold out for the rumored modular PS5 for my second PS5 so I can give my wife and kids my original.

Rumors of the modular PS5 and some think there’s going to be a Pro (I’m not sold on that) so I’m waiting for whatever comes next .

Aloymetal1169d ago (Edited 1169d ago )

What is this modular ps5? I'm curious because the moment they announce a ps5 pro (whenever it happens) I'll be all over it.
I googled it and I see what you mean, it's like a slim model.

Bathyj1169d ago

Interesting.
It's not like they need the sales bump.

Hofstaderman1169d ago

Probably want to make room for new bundles…FFXVI and Spider-Man.

InUrFoxHole1169d ago

They always need the sales bump. Every console needs... well really, "wants" the sales bump

Right now I am more excited to see some gameplay of the Remake Trilogy than the sequel.

rlow1103d ago

Question is? Is the remake going to be 100% faithful to the original, or will they cut out some of more controversial parts? Aka. Sex scenes? It’ll be interesting

repsahj103d ago

I agree. That is why I am excited to see the gameplay.

-Foxtrot103d ago

I'm really not fussed if we don't see Atreus again to be honest

Kratos should be the main focus at the end of the day, I thought the Atreus sections in Ragnarök were pretty boring, he's just not that interesting on his own.

Shane Kim103d ago

I don't get it either why they have to shoehorn hos "son" into the story. Just give us Kratos.

Cacabunga103d ago

What i cannot think of is Sony closing this studio as well at some point. They are really on a terrible streak towards downfall…

Inverno103d ago

They did Atreus dirty in Ragnarok. His design doesn't match at all the way he behaved and his personality. They didn't write him to come into his own, instead they wrote him as an obnoxious modern day teenager, acting out and being cringe all the way through. I was hoping to see him become Loki but nope.

Pyrofire95103d ago

I think I'd be cool with a mid budget Atreus game but my loyalty is with Kratos for sure. Looking forward to seeing what the remakes are more than anything atm. But also I'm still mad at Playstation over Bluepoint

Inverno102d ago

GOW has the potential to be spinoff'd into games about other gods. A game about Atreus becoming Loki with a trickster mechanic where the story changes depending on your method of tricking other characters would be hella interesting. More so if they bring Atreus to whatever other patheon they might have planned for Kratos. Actually would be a missed opportunity if they don't make Atreus in a reoccurring character in future games. He could easily be the Patches of the GOW franchise.

No hints at interesting gameplay, though.

camel_toad103d ago

They saved "Mau" for their next live-service spin-off game.

yeah, they're gonna overprice it so only 0.5% of the playerbase can buy it. The spiderman packs cost like 650 for 12 packs or something, on top of spiderman not fitting into mtg at all. Most of current PS characters don't fit either.
