I guess the X1 lineup this holiday season was more impressive than I thought.

Very smart move to move a lot of units, but they really didn't need to do this. They're already wrecking the competition, this is just throwing dirt in the wound.

@rosinmonkekyx17: Get The Last of Us bundle if you have never played the game.....One of the best stories ever no doubt. Star Wars Battlefront has pretty graphics, but that's it. It gets extremely stale unless you're a diehard Star Wars fan that would kill for the franchise lol.

@sonypony4eva: Well I've played half of Last of Us, so probably Star Wars, if it goes down more on Black Friday. Last of Us was a pretty emotional story with one of the best beautiful games on console, but I already played it so :P

@rosinmonkekyx17: Star Wars. New game vs last gen game.

Unless you hate EA like I do. Or you don't like multiplayer competitive shooters.

@lostn: Eh, a lot of people have been saying Star Wars will look like Battlefield. My decision all comes to, "will this bundle be on sale during Black Friday? It's getting released 10 days before Black Friday, if it is how much?" I'm a very cheap person, don't judge :)

So if it doesn't go down much, Last of Us it is, if it does go down a lot ($50) then Star Wars

If it was $75-$100 it would have seen an insane sales rush, especially for Black Friday and Christmas. Even if just for that period.

@xOmniCloudx: The PS4 was selling great without a price cut, so it will definitely sell even better now with the price cut.

I think Sony is doing this to get a larger install base for PSVR. And to soften the blow to your wallet when they finally announce the price of it.

I keep thinking I'll get a PS4 this autumn ... but other than The Nathan Drake Collection, I can't think of anything else I'd buy for it.

@Mogan: I've heard these games are pretty great.

1.) Nathan Drake Collection

2.) The Last of Us Remastered

3.) Bloodborne

4.) Journey: Definitive Edition

5.) Resogun

6.) Final Fantasy XIV

7.) Transistor

I have also heard Infamous: Second Son, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, and Until Dawn are fun.

Multiplatform games are great too.

I game on the Xbox One, so I may have missed some things, but those are the games I hear about often enough.

@LPDisturbedHU: The Order: 1886 is a good game too. The only thing that I hated was that when the game was getting extremely good, it just ends out of nowhere leaving you hungry for more. Very frustrating.

@sonypony4eva: I've seen gameplay of The Order: 1886 and it looked alright. The gameplay seems like they were trying for a Gears of War feel, but it just felt off. Especially because of the black bars that give a "cinematic experience". The bars really mess with the cover system, IMO. I also heard the ending was horribly done too. Hopefully a sequel is done better, I'm sure Sony bought the rights to it before they dumped Ready at Dawn.

@Mogan: I would start with Uncharted and The Last of Us, maybe try out Infamous and Killzone if you enjoy those style games, and if you can keep an open mind I enjoyed The Order: 1886. Good chance you can find all of those games for $30 or less, and that should keep you busy until Uncharted 4.

If you enjoy JRPGs at all, theres Disgaea, Persona, and Dragon Quest Heroes, not my kind of game though.

I would wait until Black Friday, I wouldn't be surprised to see a PS4 bundle with Uncharted Collection and TLoU come out, and sometimes Best Buy sells those plus an extra game or two for the cost of the console(got a Wii U this way last year).

It's a good system and has potential to be amazing, just taking a while for the great games to start rolling in.

@Mogan: I bought one a few months back and played the exclusives I wanted to play and then recently sold it. I play more on the X 1 so I don't need 2 systems. Maybe I will buy another ps4 next year when some good exclusives are out.

@yukushi: Sorry, should have been clearer, I know what exclusives the PS4 has, I'm just not that interested in any of them outside of The Nathan Drake Collection (and probably Uncharted 4 when it comes out). Stuff like Second Son and Shadow Fall I'd probably get cheap if I'd already bought a PS4 for other stuff, but the rest I've either played on PS3 or they just aren't my thing.

@bentleyj10: So what is your alternative the only good game xbox has is halo after that the console is going to gather dust, with the ps4 we have uncharted 4, no mans sky, the last guardian, horizon zero dawn, street fighter, hellblade, and plenty more great exclusives coming out in 2016

@yukushi: yeah I thought killzone and drive club were average at best. And I'm sure he already knows what games are available for it. Just because you think they are all great doesn't mean all other people have interest in playing them.

I love how there was only a $50 difference between prices in USA vs Canada for the PS4, but now there is an $80 difference.

Come on! This whole Canadian Dollar being bad is unfair to Canadians. All our prices raise while we still get paid the same.

It is even more crazy when the USA is right beside us. It is cheaper for me to drive across the border and buy a PS4 in the states than it is in Canada. Even with me burning money on gas there and back, I would STILL SAVE money than buying it here.

@stuff238: I know, right? Canadian dollar sucks. You hear 50 dollar price cut and then you see the price of a bundle only goes down by 20 bucks. 79.99 for some new games, 74.99 for others. So with 13 percent sales tax you're looking at between 85- 90 bucks for a game. And people squawk about paying 60 bucks. Sigh. And don't get me started on EB games with their mighty 5 dollar discount on used titles. Basically a used game costs more now or the same as a new one did a year ago.Ridiculous.

@stuff238: Not only console prices are way higher than in US but games prices increased from $60 last year to whooping $80 this year for new releases. That's $20 bucks which holds me back from buying new releases and waiting 6-8 months until they go on sale. Game publishers should take note of that as many potentials buyers are holding off purchases...

@stuff238: that is not something sony or any corp, can control , government tariffs and taxes are levied without a care regarding game consoles. But Canada has 6% or lower unemployment and great social programs- decent trade off .

@stuff238: i hear ya... but if you were to go to the u.s. and throw down $350usd for a ps4, that would actually cost you $453can after conversion. you do in fact save a few bucks by purchasing the console here in canada. that being said, sony could give us a little break and make the damn thing $400 even to at least bring it back to the launch price before our dollar plummeted into the depths of hell :D as it stands now, nearly 2 years later, it was STILL cheaper to have purchased a ps4 at launch for $400can lol
