People were saying that in order for the Switch to hit 20 mil, they should do a Fortnite bundle. Does this make a Switch bundle less likely now? I have no idea how bundle agreements work.

Perfect timing I guess.
Kids are out of school.
Why play on janky ass mobile?
Time to ask parent for a cheap PS4.

Yeah, Epic blames Sony on one hand and on other hand they do exclusive deals with them smh.


Good bundle though for fans .
Nothing to be surprised about. If it makes money, they will support them. They may get backlash from MS and Nintendo fans from being a hypocrite but it won't be enough to completely abandon the money bank that is Fortnite.

I'm actually kinda surprised the system itself doesn't have any Fortnite artwork on it. Seems like a missed opportunity.

No themed skin/graphics or anything for the console? Really missed an opportunity there.

C'mon Sony.

Why would they backlash over a ps4 bundle?
The game is still free on every platform, and its just 1 skin.

Crazy timing and a very bold move.

This is a win for Sony.

Oh wow $5 worth of content. Thanks so much Sony. Since save the world will be free later this year anyway. Fuck the fuck off. If you buys this you're a fucking idiot of the highest order, it's not even a deal.

I mean, couldn't that be said about buying anything in Fortnite? You're literally paying money for .jpgs

This cost the same as a regular PS4 so yea, I guess just continue being "outraged"

Did you read the OP? It comes with early access to the mode and on top of that it's free to play without a subscription. It's mainly for kids in the summer too so it should do very well.

It is kind of ridiculous but smart at the same time.

I'm not outraged. It's just stupid. You could buy a non bundled PS4 used or on discount and save the money. It seems idiotic to pay for something that will be free soon. And it's not even a 1TB PS4, it's basicslly worthless. 500 isn't enough anymore, unless you're buying it for only Fortnite which is even dumber.

I read the OP and again, it's fake value. Most people know that Fortnite will be totally free in a few months. And all anyone cares about is Battle Royale which is already free

Hey, remember when Sony had Fortnite as one of its exclusive reveals years back... Now there's a three hundred dollar exclusive skin. Long game.

In BR any green 'rarity' harvesting tool, glider or blue 'rarity' and under emotes. I don't know what you can get in Save The World with that amount.
Doesn't seem to be a lot, they should've given bucks enough to buy a complete blue set (harvesting tool+glider+>2 emotes).

I said it before and i'll say it again. If Epic wants Sony to play ball with cross play...then they need more of these exclusive skins... Kratos, Drake, Joel, Aloy, would sell a ton... Hope it's a step in the right direction...but i can see this console selling a pretty good chunk for Sony.

Don't see a problem with the bundle. You're getting $5 worth of V-Bucks and an exclusive skin you could probably flip for $40-50? Seems like a decent value to me.

Why not exclusive? Maybe Sony and Epic have a Marketing Deal like MS with EA for Battlefield V? That would also explain why Epic does not give a statement on account blocking.

Could be.

And lol at ppl saying bad timing. It's perfect timing actually. We are about to find out just how big or small the elephant in the room is.

There is no fake value, you're getting STW for free which costs money currently, it doesn't matter if it goes free after a few months, you'll have a few months early access this way, I swear some people will complain about everything.

Does anyone have a source on the confirmation of "Save the World" being included? Thread title says it is, but not the actual OP or article it links to.

That was a sizzling hot take.

Save the World is currently priced at $40, and I'm sure it still will be come July 16th. Add in the exclusive skin and yeah, this bundle will fly off the shelves. I look forward to coming back to this discussion in July.
