If you’ve been holding out for a PlayStation 4 and love leaving digital rubber on the road, Sony have you covered this autumn with a Driveclub PS4 hardware bundle.
Just announced on the PlayStation Blog, this bundle will launch in Europe alongside Driveclub on October 8th, and comes with a standard black 500GB PS4 system, a Dualshock 4 controller, and what appears to be the complete, physical copy of Driveclub.
Sony says the bundle is available for preorder now with an RRP of €439.99, and also have teased some new Driveclub footage coming later today that focuses on its dynamic weather system.

Weird how it’s priced €10 more than The Last of Us PS4 Bundle.
Seeing as the PS4 is region free, is there anything stopping me buying one from Amazon Friday as it’s cheaper, or would I have to pay extra taxes or something?

Driveclub itself has a higher rrp than TLoU Remastered.
You might get caught out with customs charges, you might not. I think the units are mostly the same, just that the plug is different.

Ah that must be the difference.
Is the PS4 power cable a standard kettle cable, or is it like the Ps3 Slims?

The power cable is a standard figure 8 like what you get for portable radios, ghetto blasters etc.

Ok thanks, I’ll look into if it maybe an option

With bundles, why don’t they at least put some design on the ps4 rather than selling it just plain black

I prefer mine black. I wouldn’t buy it if it had a load of crap plastered all over it.

Yep, a special paint job would give a lot more purpose to these bundles. Other than a different box its the same!

I have gone right off of the idea of Driveclub since seeing more & more of it, as it seems more & more like it’s going to be geared more to being a sim (this may have always been the intention & may in fact be down to my lack of understanding of the title).
Much prefer my racers to come with a pinch of surrealism so that I can Boost after someone at ridiculous speed before dropping a plane on them for example (this may or may not be a very specific example which has of course not in any way been taken from Split Second).

I feel the same and I’m way more excited about Project Cars, probably because I’m happy with the Grid level of realism and prefer a fun and carefully rubber-banded racer to a sim. Especially a sim with forced social features that totally don’t suit my hermit lifestyle :)

It is definitely not a sim, there isn’t any performance customisation, just paint, decals and so on.
For the record, I’d call a sim something like Gran Turismo/Forza/Project cars.

But I suppose the important question here is: Can you drop a plane on someone? :D

Ooops, forgot to answer that the first time. I’ve not seen it mentioned, but there’s always dlc!

Really looking forward to this. The team based angle is refreshing. I love co op games! Proper full on campaign co op is brilliant!
