One of the reasons why the PlayStation 4 cost $100 less than the Xbox One when both console came out in 2013 was because Sony decided to offer the PlayStation Camera separately while Microsoft bundled Kinect with its new console and demanded $499 for it. Microsoft later had to unbundle Kinect from Xbox One just so it could match the PlayStation 4’s price point, and this did improve its sales, even though PS4 remains in the lead even today. Those who are still on the fence about purchasing Sony’s new console can take advantage of a new PS4 bundle which includes a PlayStation Camera.
Best Buy’s new PS4 bundle includes the console, a copy of The Last of Us Remastered as well as the PlayStation Camera. The camera itself is a $60 value.
The retailer is offering this bundle for $399. That’s actually the base price of this console. For $399 you not only get the PS4 but also one of the best selling titles for the console.
The PlayStation Camera can be used to stream video of yourself through Twitch when you’re already broadcasting gameplay. It will take a much central role when Project Morpheus, Sony’s virtual reality headset, arrives in the first half of 2016.
If you’re interested in Sony’s virtual reality experience, and the PlayStation 4, then at this price this bundle is actually a very good offer.
