PS4 vs Xbox One - The Launch Bundles compared

The CVG team explain all the bundles which have been announced. Judge which you think offer the best value.

[MicDude]

No question the PS4 bundle is the better value. Two controllers and Killzone. I hope the bundle will still be available after launch.

They are both great deals. Now if only if MS would announce a game bundle for the US.

[True_Samurai]

Is that bundle available in the US if so how much

Had to make my own X1 Bundle :p A free game in the US would've been great MS!

[jackanderson1985]

thought forza was the free game for the US?

[jgrigs09]

I'm sure there will be a free game in the US. I hope it's Forza too.

@Jack

Both Xbox Day One bundles are for the UK. Though I'm sure MS will announce a bundle for the US soon.

[HammadTheBeast]

I wish Killzone had split-screen, those controllers would be nice.

[aksmashh]

Killzone,AC, fifa and extra controller for me

Maybe watch dogs

[Software_Lover]

You can't compare launch bundles (game wise) because it's all subjective. Everything is subjective. It's not even about the games anymore. Now if you compare value wise, then you might have a fair comparison there. 2 games vs 1. extra controller vs nothing. ETC ETC

Someone who like the playstation will say the Killzone bundle is the better bundle and the Forza bundle sucks. But if Forza was a Playstation brand their attitude will be switched. Same with an Xbox fan. Things are just too subjective to fairly compare.

[Red_Devilz]

Agreed! Plus, if you are not happy with the game you got in the bundle, you can always trade / sell it to get whatever you want.

However, current bundles (at least in the USofA) don't make any sense to me. PS4 + (e.g.) W_D = $460 on Amazon. If you buy them separately, it is the same. I'd rather go for just the console and buy game of my choice to avoid hassle of trade/sell.

Hope this comments section stays civil.... A bundle is nice, but just glad to be getting both machines on launch day... Plan on killzone and dead rising... Enough to keep me happy...

PS4 FTW

[fattyuk]

PS4 All day long!

[thrust]

Xbox one for me first.

Getting PS4, Knack and PS+ 1 year subscription. I preordered with Shopto here in UK.
They have this "swap" option where you can swap bundles without losing your preorder position.

Am already a PS+ member so I will get DriveClub too. Will sell PS+ subscription on eBay or to my friends.
I'm not a fan of shoot em up games so decided not to get Killzone, even though it looks great. Almost preordered FIFA 14 bundles with extra controller. Too tempting.

Took two days off for this. Hope it will be delivered in great condition.

Down my local high street, there are no games shops. They were closed down a year or two, both GAME and HMV. I used to line up for PS3 midnight launch at GAME. Massive queue. Great experience

[My_Outer_Heaven]

People think they are getting a full drive club game with PS+ but they aren't they are merely getting what could be considered a very cut down version of the full game.

Also Game are doing a PS4 and two games bundle but the price still hasn't been put online yet.

I hope the Sony bundle with game, camera and extra dual shock comes to UK.

[Angeljuice]

It can't objectively be considered a "very" cut down game. There are tracks and cars missing, but the full game experience is there in the fact that you can still complete the game and receive the platinum trophy on the free version.
It's the full game minus some content (tracks and cars). You'd have to be extremely biased to call it "very" cut down.

[Foxgod]

The one that comes with the best games, which happen to be the Xbox One.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

No bundles for me, haha. Just getting a PS4, Killzone, Battlefield 4, and (maybe) Watch Dogs.

[CalamityCB]

Yes, yes the launch bundles; but the real question is
"Which one will smell better?"

[jay2]

PS4, I watch a Watch_dogs Dedset edition like the COD one.
