PS4 and PS Vita Bundle: Sony Confirms 'Ultimate Bundle' Will Be Under £500
Today Sony finally officially confirmed a PS4 and PS Vita bundle will be coming to Europe for under £500.
However, what Sony has failed to do was blow anyone away with the bundle, which as of now stands at the customer only saving £10, reported Polygon. The PS4 is retailing for £349 in the U.K. while the Vita is around £150.
"We're working with our retail partners to put across that proposition as well as we can," Sony U.K. boss Fergal Gara said to Eurogamer. "It'll come to market in a few different shapes and guises. You may walk in and get a great deal on 'buy a Vita when bought with' type deal. So if you buy a PS4 you can get a Vita for X. And others will say, well here's the Ultimate Bundle and you get all those bits in it."

"But as a base price point, in other words for the two consoles, we expect the gamer to be able to pick that up for under £500. It's not a hard bundle pack at this point in time. It's us working with the retailer to effectively deliver a soft bundle," he continued.
Earlier this week a advertisement for the bundle surfaced on MCV.
The ad shows both the console and handheld in the Sony packaging, and also reveals that it will come with a Vita memory card. The bundle will appear in time for Christmas. See the picture here.
The package is rumored to be called the PS4 and PS Vita "Ultimate Bundle," as just last week Sony senior product manager Ben Law hinted at the great things coming the Vita's way.
"We're really excited for Vita as we move into Christmas. We've got a great campaign with key messaging around new releases like Tearaway, the ever-growing game catalogue and the Remote Play service," he said.
There has been no announcement on whether the console will arrive in the U.S.
