How to Buy White PS4 Destiny Bundle for Just £325 (Or Possibly Even Less)

If you’re in the UK, you might be aware that the Destiny White PS4 bundle costs around £385, and only seems to be available from Game. With this bundle you get a special White PlayStation 4 console, as well as some exclusive DLC, so it’s no wonder that everyone wants one. However, with this really simple and obvious trick, you can get the same bundle for almost £60 off the list price in the UK, provided you’re willing to sacrifice some features.

I hardly ever use my PS3 for movies so probably would be okay to do this. hmmm...

RosweeSon3551d ago

Sounds like a lot of hassle and hard work to then lose your Blu ray player or have to import all your films.

Mr Pumblechook3551d ago (Edited 3551d ago )

WARNING: The article incorrectly says 'there is no import tax.' In fact you have to pay UK Customs Duty on ALL items imported from outside the European Union. This means you have to pay on imports from the USA. The tax you have to pay might even be higher than the standard 20% possibly a maximum of 85%.

U.K. customs don't check every package sent to the UK, if you're lucky (As the writer appears to have been) they won't check yours. But if yours is checked you will have to pay, and then there is the extra postage costs. It's not worth the tax and postage costs of importing from the USA, additionally you will not receive any consumer support if your console breaks down. So IMHO, don't do it!

SniperControl3551d ago

Yep, your right. I ordered my Oculus Rift back in april, as it's coming from the USA to the UK, i had to pay £77 import tax. Luckily Oculus include this in the total.

DemonChicken3551d ago (Edited 3551d ago )

You pay a import fee deposit via amazon (so in this respect article is wrong)so you are charged in advance, they refund you if not taken which is a slim chance. But this is only for certain products, otherwise you will be billed by customs if your package is withheld. This is hard because amazon slaps a cost on the front package, so they declare it, you can try to select a gift but no won't increase your chances much.

I rather use topcashback since they don't charge the fee

Most blu rays are multi regional, dvds are not. You can usually check on multiple sites,

It may turn out to be the same regardless whether you used amazon's currecy convertor or not. This is due to your bank charge, they usually charge a fee on top, HSBC was free last I checked - check your card supplier/bank.

This was posted on HotUKDeals.co.uk a few days back.

It sounds like a great deal if you can get over the region locking and the fact your copy of Destiny will be US so. If you want DLC which is bound to come out, you will need to buy US PSN cards as you can't credit a US PSN account with UK bank details.

I usually love white consoles. The white ps3 slim was gorgeous. But I think I prefer the original ps4 colour! I dunno, just looks cheaper in white.... :(

But that controller in white is sexy!!

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell331d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig331d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast331d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g331d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka331d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai482d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface481d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard479d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
