Destiny: The White PS4 Bundle Unboxed

PlayStation Access Writes: "Both Destiny and the white PS4 arrive on September the 9th - and we're letting you have an exclusive look inside the box right now"

Can't wait to get mine, will look great next to my white PS VITA

HugoDrax3535d ago

Same here, pre ordered it on amazon the day it became available. It will look pretty sitting next to my Cystal White OLED Vita and my Sunset Overdrive XB1.

darthv723535d ago

Wonder why September 9th though..........?

That day will forever be engrained in my mind as Dreamcast day. 9/9/99 FTW.

How times have changed. Sony heavily marketing a multiplatform game.

imt5583535d ago

Loooks really nice. The PS logo stands out.

Anyway, Destiny bundle surely will sell pretty well, it is in top 10 on Amazon since the announcement. Well, others consoles.....

It's pretty good indication how PS4 will be selling in next few months.

Does anyone else think the black box on the controller makes it look bad? it looks ugly.

MasterCornholio3535d ago (Edited 3535d ago )

That won't stop it from being a system seller though.

Off Topic: By the way you do know that HD Ready is 720P not 700P right?

Budobear3535d ago

Yup, I have to say I agree. I guess that the costs in changing it to white were just too much.

HugoDrax3535d ago (Edited 3535d ago )

Yes it does look ugly, and I think it would have been better if the buttons/touchpad was grey like the PS1. I'm just not sure how that would have tampered with the touch sensitivity. Oh well, I'll have this bundle in a few weeks from amazon. I always wanted a white PLAYSTATION, and remember drooling at the white PS3 during that consoles reveal.

Nicolee3535d ago

i want white one too but i am not sure if i should trade in my black to white . mmmmm

Nicolee3535d ago

Basically if want to trade from Black to White ( at GAME ) they want £139 extra . but it come with Destiny game too. so its really about £90 for the different.

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter333d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood333d ago (Edited 333d 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-ro333d ago (Edited 333d 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.

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

Kurt Russell332d 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.

buffig333d ago

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

anast333d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

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

z2g332d 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.

spicelicka332d 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...

CobraKai484d 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.

jeromeface482d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard480d ago

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