Well, well – this is a bit tasty, isn't it? Sony has announced a limited edition PlayStation 4 bundle for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, which is set to release alongside the game starting 26th April. And let us be the first to say that it's really rather hot. The console will cost you $399.99 in the United States and $499.99 in Canada, so you may want to start saving your gold coins now, 'cos it ain't cheap.
Bizarrely, it'll pack a 500GB hard drive in North America and 1TB hard drive in Europe, but the design will be exactly the same across regions. It features a silhouette of protagonist Nathan Drake atop a grey blue finish, and has gold engravings on it, including the 'Sic Parvis Magna' slogan etched on the hero's ring. This is the best bundle since last year's Destiny: The Taken King one – we really like it.
If you pre-order the special system, you'll also get access to some bonus in-game content, including an Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Outfit, Golden Weapon Skin, and Uncharted Points to use in the title's multiplayer mode. It's worth mentioning, of course, that the bundle also comes with a grey blue DualShock 4 and Blu-ray copy of the hotly anticipated game.
If that's not all, the controller will be available separately in North America starting March and April in Europe, while there'll be a limited edition grey blue Gold Wireless Headset available in North America from next month for $99.99 in the United States and $119.99 in Canada. There'll be a custom Uncharted 4 audio mode designed by Naughty Dog available for PlayStation headphones owners, too.
Phew – lots of information to get through there. What do you think of this new bundle, though? Buried treasure or dug-up junk? Use your metal detectors in the comments section below.

Beautiful!
I actually really like the colour.
Yeah, it's lovely.
Yeah the colour is great. I think if I was to get anything it would be the headset, but the DualShock looks pretty handsome in that shade of blue!
The colour's nice. Don't get why they only colour half the controller though, would prefer it all done.
@rjejr
Start hunting for a preorder cause this is gonna sell out fast.
Also, they seem to finally be doing more than just add a design in the removable cover. Looks nice. Controller too, but I doubt I need a third one.
@sinalefa Thanks for the heads up, I was busy blasting the comparison footage of Zleda TP HD over on NL and hadn't seen this yet.
And it does look kind of awesome, but sadly no way I pay $400 for a 500GB PS4 in 2016. It does look really cool, but I just can't do it. If I wanted to pay $400 for a PS4 I would have done so 2 years ago. Seeing it get 1TB in the EU, well you know how petty I am, not helping.
And yeah, I know, the game is $60, but I would never buy it for $60, that's a $15 Gamefly rental for me. I was expecting $350 w/ the game so the game would sort of be free. I guess I should have known something like this would happen, get myself all excited for something, only to be let down in ways I could have never foreseen.
Really, did you or anyone else expect a $400 500GB PS4 in 2016? I don't blame Sony for doing it, it's a "Collectors edition" w/ that color and graphics for sure, but I'm not a collector, I'm a bargain shopper.
Guess it's time to start waiting for the FFXV bundle, that game is a day 1 purchase - already pre-ordered it on Amazon actually expecting to get this bundle for $350 - but I'd pay $400 for FFXV, I'm a FF fanboi.
I'm actually kinda disappointed in this. I was expecting some kind of map design, but it's just the same Drake render we've seen countless times. I do like the color and detail though. It's not bad, just was expecting something else.
@rjejr
Yes, that is truly dropping the ball, specially when there IS a version of this with 1TB. I like it has a disc instead of a code for the game, you could sell it to recoup a little of those $400 or put it towards the purchase of your "Final Fantasy One Direction"
@sinalefa Ooh, selling the disc version when I'm done w/ the game, that might just work, probably worth $30 right? That is certainly something to consider. Maybe Best Buy will throw in a free copy of the Uncharted Trilogy w/ the console I could flip for $20 as well? Decisions, decisions.
You know, I was really expecting you to bury me over this and my cheapskateness, but then I saw your comment about Doom - "Way too expensive but the game looks good" - and felt a little sense of relief.
That looks AMAZING
@rjejr
Lol, you cannot compare a statue of an ugly lesser Doom monster worth an extra $60 to a rad looking CONSOLE that will be actually useful besides looking the part, for roughly the same price as a regular PS4. So you are still a cheapskate, but that ain't new
And I was expecting you to bury me for insulting your beloved and belated Squeenix release. Talking about FF fanboyism, did you ever get the Cloud DLC in Smash?
@sinalefa I know I'm a FF fanboi, I can't defend that and deserve to be mocked. Your little 1D comment wasn't lost on me either.
I'm holding off on Cloud DLC until the NX edition. (amiibo will probably get purchased though) You know I still won't play SSB b/c of the lack of separate save points, I can't let that one go. Hopefully it will work properly on the NX. And we can back up save points w/o having to copy over 11GB worth of XCX packs.
@JoeBlogs I wasn't arguing about Zelda, sinalefa and I go way back. But I'm sure IGN is correct about the game looking better played than watched, every game I play on my 52" 1080p tv looks so much better than watching 720p videos on my 19" 1400x900 monitor. Especially Nintendo 1st party titles, they know how to make their hardware shine. But still, imagine how much better this could have looked. I'm playing XCX now, I know how good a Wii U can be.
500 GB's is a joke. It's not even really 500 GB's either if I recall correctly it's closer to 400 after you set it up.
You are going to be down around 350 GB's after one game...
I might buy that controller.
Full on robot chubby
@KingofSaiyans I've been meaning to buy that for about 3 years, but every time I get close to pulling the trigger something comes up.That latest something being Amazon Prime offering 20% off all games up to 2 weeks after they release. Thanks for the tip. And here's one for you, CAG. Though if you have GCU you probably already use it.

Some buttons and triggers on my controllers are starting to falter so I might get that controller.
I don't like the colour and the artwork isn't that special either. The controller is rather plain and only comes with a 500GB internal HDD - Mine is already full!
The best part of this bundle though is that it comes with the game on disc - not a digital code!
Ugh...this is my favorite color. Dang it Sony, you tempt me so much! I really love the design of the console. Even the headset and controller are tempting just for the color! lol
I want to trade in my PS4 for this one!!!!
Colour is great, could do with losing the miserable looking middle age dude though
The color is ok but all i want is plain matt black for my consoles.
$400 and only a 500gb hdd is surprising. Glad i stopped waiting for larger hdd models and bought a sale price 500gb 1215a bundle for $300 last December.
why aren't 1TB bundles available in the N.A. there must be a reason?
The red and black MGSV PS4 is still king
Not bad. I was wondering why they went with that blue and then I remembered that its the same color on the game's cover art.
Is this what threads are like in the Forum?
Damn that's sweet. There's probably been about ten different PS4 designs i wish I bought now since I got mine.
The disadvantage of being an early adopter eh!?
I like the look of the controller. Then thing is I would rather have just the faceplate with the design on rather then the whole console do you really want to be looking at that design for the next 5 years? The colouring is nice though.
@kyleforrester87 That's what I say whenever I look into a mirror.
I like the color a lot! I wish we could easily replace all the plastic on the PS4 with other colors instead of having to buy a whole new system.
kinda like the 3DS face plates...
It may be possible that I buy this because i am using another <a href="https://www.goheadsets.com/gaming-headsets.php">one</a>
@sinalefa You have quite nice covers in Japan though.
@Splat I still have 120 GB left and I have 20 retail games and a ton more digital only. I just remove games i don't play 2 or 3 installed is quite enough can't play more then 1 at a time anyway.
