It looks as though Sony's really throwing its weight around with its Batman: Arkham Knight partnership deal, as evidenced by this stylish PlayStation 4 bundle.
Featuring a sleek silver PS4 console complete with a Batman design, a copy of the game, exclusive DLC, and a great looking DualShock 4 controller, it's a pretty attractive bundle, especially if you're yet to swoop alongside the caped crusader into the next generation. It'll set you back $449.99 in North America, but no prices have been confirmed in Europe.
The bundle is limited, however, but even if you miss out on the silver machine, you'll be able to snap up a standard bundle which contains the usual black PS4 for $399.99. Both bundles will launch alongside the game on 23rd June.
Will you be picking one of these up? Perch atop a gargoyle in the comments section below.

Should have made the controller into a batarang. that would be awesome. But i still want one. Is it too much if i own three ps4's?
Limited edition. Well unless your a scumbag scalper or willing to pay their prices, the chances of honest fans getting one will probably be slim.
I'll stick with my launch PS4 but this looks very, very nice. Sony stepped it up a notch as I don't think we've gotten any cool special edition consoles in North America outside of the white one. Hopefully they can follow suit with a nice MGS V one this fall.
So gorram sexy.
It's gorgeous. I have to imagine they'll make quite a few of these, as these are going to sell really well.
That is a beautiful PS4.
WOW It looks like the PS1/PS4 Ltd Edition PS4 a bit to(which is COOL)
Omg I'm getting this
That's beautiful. But I'm holding all hope for the MGSV red/gold PS4 to hit America. If so I'll be getting it.
I just wish they'd made the colors more... Batman-y. The silver just seems like a throwback to the old top-loading VCR I had in the 80's. Imagine if they made it gun-stock grey with a lighter grey to accent it. Something along those lines. I've had my PS4 since launch but I'd double dip for that.
I would like a silver one, without Batman, and not limited edition.
Wow this looks so awesome
I like it. I like it alot!
That looks really nice. If I had the cash I'd gladly get it, even though I haven't played City or Origins yet.
Kinda wish they did something more with the controller though. Like, give it a bat logo or something.
@Gamer83 - Guess Sony can sell PS4 w/o "exclusive" games if they keep treating games like Batman and MGS as IF they were exclusive by putting out special edition consoles.
And I was just thinking the other day that for a system w/o any games (are people still saying that, or has it been modified to w/o any "exclusive" games?) PS4 has just had a nice run w/ DB Xenoverse, FF Type 0 HD, Bloodborne and MLB The Show 15. W/ Batman and MGS on the distant horizon. I agree it still needs a big game for the holidays but for the winter it hasn't done too poorly. And PS4 exclusive DQ Heroes (no PS3 version in the west, damn them) would be a nice other game for the holidays if they could somehow get a big AAA alongside it.
I'd probably get this if it came to the UK, looks sexy.
@Kayoss
Why, something... like this...?
@rjejr
Bloodborne is exclusive. So is MLB The Show, which is kind of a big deal since the XBO appears to have no solid MLB game.
I may actually pick up a sports game for once, just to try out The Show this year. If only Joe Mauer was still on the cover. I guess expecting him to be MVP three times is just too much to ask.
@Quorthon - MLB The Show is also on Vita and PS3 so it's a Sony exclusive, but not a "this gen" exclusive. And some people take offense to spending $400 on a new console to play games they could be playing on their old consoles.
I'm not 1 of those people, but somebody was going to comment on it (probably still will), might as well be me.
That looks sick yo!
does this also come with the last of us?
Damn you Sony! I don't need another PS4, but you are sure tempting me to get one. That's one sexy machine... Hmmm I do need an extra one for my room, though.
@rjejr well on top of the cool looking console, it appears that Arkham Knight is continuing that "exclusive content" trend that I abhor. Meh.
@Sir_JBizzle - "exclusive content"
That, store exclusives, things seemingly available only on sale on eBay, timed exclusives. It's all getting to be really annoying. Why can't I just buy a game on a console, and a toy in the store? Why does there need to be research involved?
Sorry, still stinging over the 3rd Hobbit movie not making it into the game, and Lego Batman 3 season pass not coming to Wii U. I know Wii U doesn't get any 3rd party support, but for a Lego game? My kid wants Lego Jurassic Park and I told him he's on his own. I'm not dealing w/them any more.
Oh my goodness... I want it so badly. Oh, if only this was available when I was in GS looking to get a PS4 a few weeks ago!
Edit: At least make that beautiful controller available to buy separately!
@rjejr
Well, I've never said PS4 has no games, just not many good exclusive games and that statement still holds true. I'd also still like to see something bigger for the holidays than teen slasher QTE, Ratchet and Clank Reimagined and a Vita port. But even without an exclusive there's stuff to play, I don't think anybody has ever argued that. It's simply been about lack of exclusives which is still a valid complaint.
@Gamer83 - "lack of exclusives"
Yeah, that's a big reason I don't have 1. We have LBP3 on PS3. Just put Last of Us on my Gamefly list - figured it was about time, still waiting on Godzilla this summer, my kids are waiting for a sale on Dragonball XV. If I had gotten a PS4 for Christmas I'd gett he PS4 versions of those games, but the graphical upgrade isn't worth $400 for me.
I still think over the past year people have been saying "no games", but I suppose they meant exclusives. People always say Wii U doesn't have ANY 3rd party support, but it continues to get Disney Infinity, Skylanders, all the Lego games (minus DLC), Just Dance, really bad Sonic games, Pac Man shovelware. There's probably more 3rd party than 1st party really, but people keep saying "NO 3rd party games". I know what they mean, no AAA games, but they don't say that.
@rjejr
The first year of every console is always the slowest and the "worst" in a "game library" regard. That's when you get the most cross-gen ports and remakes as developers use pre-existing software to break in the new hardware.
I bought my PS4 early (last October) in order to prepare for what is going to be a packed generation. I bought my X360 on year 3 and my PS3 on year 5, and ended up playing catch-up on many games while missing many others. This way, when the major titles I do want finally hit--like Mortal Kombat X, Bloodborne, etc., I'll already have the hardware ready to go.
Plus, I just flat-out hated a lot of things about the PS3. I didn't like that the controller was the same uncomfortable claptrap they'd used for two previous generations. The menu system was the worst in console gaming history. Those awful L2 and R2 triggers. Weird, choppy way the digital store loaded and worked...
Thankfully, all of that was fixed on the PS4 and I switched from Xbox to Playstation for my primary this generation. I think it has the best controller, the best menu system and user interface, the smoothest operation, etc. I have some issues with the XBO controller.
Also: Gotcha. I see your point on the exclusives like MLB: The Show.
@Gamer83
This might help.

It's the currently-known and frequently updated 2015 release list for all platforms.
If you do a search for (PS4), you'll see 78 exclusives right now.
Xbox One: 29
Wii U: 34 (this one went up recently somehow)
Vita: 33
3DS: 22
The PS4 has handily the most exclusives.
It is incomplete a bit (for instance, my team's game is not on there, but it's released), but this gives a good general idea. Some games are also listed separately and in a quick search appear as exclusives, but upon some deeper digging, are not. But again, helpful guide.
If you're looking for exclusives as well as multplatform, the PS4 is the way to go.
@Quorthon - "I bought my PS4 early (last October) in order to prepare for what is going to be a packed generation. I bought my X360 on year 3 and my PS3 on year 5,"
How much of that do you think was price related? Not the X360, don't know enough about that, but buying a PS4 on release b/c everybody thought was $400 was "cheap" both in relation to the PS3 $600/$500 launch price and the XboxOne $500 price? Everybody always says "It's about the games" but to me if PS3 had launched at $400 and then PS4 at $600 Xbox 1 would be winning this gen. To me price relationships is a big factor why PS4 has done so well. That and everybody knows the games will come eventually, but why wait to buy when $400 is "relatively" cheap?
I'll purchase this bundle if it's still available for $400 New by Black Friday
Otherwise I'm not in a hurry, I still got alot of PS3 games to beat in my backlog, and that's not counting PS3 games I haven't even bought yet.
