Final Fantasy 16's PS5 Console Bundle Can Be Pre-Ordered Now

I was interested in this but not gonna bother if it's just a code in a box 😒

No idea why anyone would do this when there's nothing different, gone are the days of LE consoles, we aren't even getting the Jap exclusive stuff which could have made an awesome bundle. It's not even the physical game. FFXVI ended up costing me only £40 physical and it's practically guaranteed I'll be able to sell it for that or more when I'm done with it.

@Kanji-Tatsumi
Especially since the bundle is for the disc version of the console. It makes no sense.

So it's nothing more than a regular PS5 with a digital download for normal price. No incentive at all.
A nice special edition steelbook would have been a nice touch if it's to be marketed a "Final Fantasy" console.
Or even better, a custom face plate. The beauty of removable plates is you can customise to your heart's content and Sony doesn't need an entire limited edition SKU.

You could even sell the plates separately to this "special edition" for people who might be interested.

I have no idea what Sony are doing these days. It all feels lazy and short-sighted for opportunities.

This bundle is literally just ripping you off... you can get marginally better deals on the console, and you can get much better deals on the software if you go physical - which, oh yea, the bundled console plays discs. Just plain silly.

@kyleforrester87 but what if in 2099 they want to replay it and the SE servers are down? Why won't you think of the children/senior citizens for once?

If I didn’t already own one, and if it wasn’t placed in a dark stereo cabinet, I would definitely settle for covers.

So, I bought my PS5 for £450 and pre-ordered my physical copy of FFXVI for £55 making it a grand total of £505.
They're offering a console + a digital version of the game for £540. What's the point?

Is it possible to buy the game without the console?

@Heavy_Artilery

of course, man.

@voltum3l What a time to be alive

@Heavy_Artilery lmfao

@GADG3Tx87 Totally agree. Unless the hardware has some unique, game related feature, it's really not worth it. Or maybe if you don't have a console and coincidentally are thinking of getting one the same time the game is released - bizarre as it may seem since odds would make this highly improbable.

Gone are the days when bundles included games at no added cost. Bundles like this and the GOW bundle are just an annoying tacked on higher price when the buyers have no desire to play those games. Then there is for some the even more added cost to purchase black color side plates.
