This holiday season, Sony is giving us all a treat. They want your 13th month pay, man, and to be honest, this is a pretty good way to spend it. If you don't have a PS4 just yet or if you wanna upgrade to the PS4 Pro, NOW is the absolute most perfect time to do so. You've got a massive library waiting for you - from award winning big triple A titles to cult favorite indies and everything in between. Not to mention the exclusives - you've got Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4, God of War, Spider-Man just to name a few.
Sony Interactive Entertainment Hong Kong Limited Singapore Branch (SIES) (or I guess we could just call them Sony) just announced their 12 Days Special, a 12-day sale with really generous discounts on their hardware. Starting Dec. 22, 2018 (Saturday) to January 2, 2019 (Wednesday), PlayStation authorized dealers will offer a hefty Php 3,000 discount on the following items:
PlayStation 4 Hits Bundle - Php 14,990 (Php 17,990)
The bundle comes with the PlayStation 4 500GB (some people call it the Slim, some people call it the Regular) and three AMAZING games - Last of Us Remastered, 2018's Game of the Year God of War, and Detroit: Become Human.
PS4 NBA 2K19 Bundle with free black Dualshock 4 - Php 17,490 (Php 20,490)
The PS4 NBA 2K19 bundle comes with the 500GB PlayStation 4 unit, NBA 2K19 and an extra regular black Dualshock 4 controller. Just to be completely clear, if you buy this deal, you'll end up with 2 Dualshock 4 controllers and everybody knows you can't have too many controllers.
PS4 Pro 1TB System with a free black Dualshock 4 controller - Php 20,990 (Php 23,990)
Of all the bundles, this is what I actually recommend you get. If you're upgrading, this is a no-brainer. If this is your first PS4, then this is the absolute perfect choice. There's no reason, especially with the discount, that you don't pick up the Pro. The bundle comes with the PlayStation 4 Pro with 1TB hard drive capacity and an extra FREE Dualshock 4. So, again, you get TWO Dualshock 4s instead of the 1 that you would normally get with just the unit.
PS VR with Camera - Php 16,990 (Php 19,990)
This might be the year I finally pull the trigger on the PS VR. I've been wanting it for a while now. The PS VR library has grown to be quite formidable. One of the biggest reasons why the PS Move didn't do so well was because you didn't have anything to play outside of a few niche titles. That doesn't seem to be the case for the PS VR. You've got hits such as Beat Saber, Tetris Effect, and the 2018 VR Game of the Year, Astro Bot Rescue Mission. Personally, I just wanna play Farpoint.
If you're wondering if 2019 is too late to own a PlayStation 4, let me tell you it's not. You've got a HUGE library of amazing experiences and games that have had years of optimization on the system. Whether it's a gift or for yourself, owning a PlayStation 4 at this point is still a very good idea.
