That would just muddy the waters even more. Someone buys this bundle thinks hey this is great I get to play Fortnite for free then goes on to buy another game like GT Sport and is hit with must need PSN Plus to play online? Besides isn't it just free to play only on the Battle Royale mode or is the whole game?
Sony doesn't require PS+ for F2P games, so once it hits F2P.
The bundle is not Italy exclusive because IGN Portugal announced it too... looks like at least EU.
I hope WW.

I bought this day one on PS4. Even though I used the included code for Save the World, it still goes for a pretty penny on Ebay. Sealed copies go for a ridiculous price.I don't know if it's still available, but when Fortnite launched on PS4, there was boxed version with some kind of bonuses.
This bundle is gonna sell like hotcakes regardless of what this forum thinks about crossplay.
If ERA says crossplay is a big deal then in reality most people have never heard about crossplay.

I imagine there'll probably be bundles with the other consoles at some point, too. I doubt Sony has locked down "exclusive" bundle rights.
This is just smart business from all parties.

This makes me wonder one thing: if there are lots of players who both
- spent loads of cash ($100+) on Fortnite v-bucks
- do NOT have PS Plus
That would work as an argument against having a paywall to play online, as lots of paid games have microtransactions now and obviously Sony takes a 30% cut of everything on PS Store.

I think some of you are underestimating this. It doesn't matter if the game is free or not. Parents and kids will see this and want it. I'm assuming it'll be already preloaded thus taking out a major step in acquiring the game.
Probably for the better. Has there ever been a limited edition console with a design that didn't look tacky and awful?
What reason they had to not? Sorry but not partner with Sony is nonsense.
I don't remember a PS4 or Xbox bundle that has come with preloaded games before. Do you? Maybe I've missed one. These are normally super cheap, easy bundles for platform holders because the can take a console off the shelf and chuck it in a branded box with a code printed on some cardboard.
For people saying 500 V-bucks is a small amount, yeah it is a pretty small amount to start with, but with Save The World included the amount of V-bucks you can get over time is fairly substantial. You can get 500 V-bucks just for taking your collection book in that mode up to level 6 which doesn't take long at all (and so at that point youd have at least 1,000 V-bucks with the included 500 which is enough for a Battle Pass).
There's also daily missions in Save The World that give you 50 V-bucks each if you complete them. Which again isn't much but it adds up. Then there's Storm Shield defense missions where you can fairly easily get another $8 or so worth of V-bucks relatively quickly.
And finally there's the Daily Login bonus which is sometimes V-bucks. The best part about this is that you dont even actually have to play StW to get it. You literally just log into it daily, and eventually that adds up as well. By day 105 of logging in (so about 3.5 months) you'll have earned $20 in V-bucks just from the daily rewards.

Because PS4 is the most popular console this gen. Where have you been?
Sure it does. It's a selling point, just like cross play.
Is crossplay really a selling point? Is that a ERA thing?
Costumer "I want to buy a game. Is there crossplay?"
I'd imagine it is otherwise MS wouldn't of made an advert. I don't know if it's an era thing, maybe MS read era. But you make adverts to sell things, so yeah.
MS is trying to capitalize on it to make it look like a bigger deal than it is. Basic marketing stuff, take a competitor weakness, make it seem like a deal breaker. It's used in politics all the time.
This is a weird ass bundle to me. Sony should have tried to get a RDR 2 PS4 Pro bundle in my opinion.
Absolutely. Sony did the same with drm back in 2013. I mean I don't think they kept going on about it as much as this like and they didn't make an actual advert iirc but similar type of thing
Makes no sense. Used units don't get fortnite or this exclusive skin. I mean while your statement may be true 3 weeks ago you could have bought a used ps4 and played Fortnite.
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.
Exactly....part of Sony's reason for this bundle could be to capture that audience.
Bundle has some bad timing, but I'm sure it'll sell well regardless. Isn't that only half the V-bucks required for a Battle Pass though? Seems weird and cheap that they don't provide enough for that.
Sony holding your Epic account hostage is not crossplay. It is a consumer rights issue.
