Sony To Launch PS4/Vita “Ultimate” Bundle In UK

Ben-Dutka 15 Comments

This is precisely the sort of bundle one would expect to see from Sony this holiday season.

According to MCV , a PlayStation 4/PlayStation Vita "Ultimate" bundle will be released in December before Christmas. MCV is a UK-based site, though, so there's no knowing if gamers in the US will have access to this uber-enticing package.

There was mention of a price for this bundle, but we know the PS4 goes for $399 while the Vita comes in at $199, so perhaps $500 would be a great price point. Furthermore, it's clear that Sony isn't giving up on their portable just yet, as they plan to run a £2.5 million TV campaign in the UK called "The Best Way to Play." The ad will boast the Vita's Remote Play capabilities and Media Molecule's recently released and well-received Tearaway .

A PS4/Vita bundle could really help spur Vita sales for the future, as it might generate more good word-of-mouth for the handheld. And it really should be available in all major territories.

Rumor: PS4/Vita Bundle Hits This Holiday Season For $500

Now this is exactly the kind of bundle Sony needs.

We've said before at PSXE that Sony should produce a bundle package that includes the upcoming PlayStation 4 and the new portable, the PlayStation Vita. Now, according to a new report from Inside Gaming Daily , that bundle is on the way. And such a deal!

A "well-placed anonymous source" said we can expect the package to be available at the end of 2013, and it would retail for "around $500." Sony hasn't officially announced any such bundle but it's be great to have for the holidays. Remember, the PS4 and Vita have all sorts of connectivity bonuses, such as Remote Play and the ability to use the handheld as a second-screen device. Right now, the 3G-enabled Vita sells for $299 and the Wi-Fi Vita goes for $249.99; neither has dropped in price since launching in February of 2012.

The PS4 will have a price tag of $399, so putting the two units together for only $500 sounds like a damn good deal, yes?
