November is an absolutely mental month for games. That's a technical term from the gaming industry.
COD bundle was just revealed, it'll get a limited edition console as well: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/e...dition-call-of-duty-black-ops-iii-ps4-bundle/
November will be interesting
Sony's producing some really ugly special editions IMO. Who gets to design them - Sony or the publisher?
PS4 CoD bundle/design just looks unimaginative. Like a bad decal job out of a cheap Hobby Lobby car/airplane kit.
I actually like the XB1 CoD:AW design though... rugged and rough looking.

Yeah most of them are ugly, i only really like the Destiny TTK Ps4 EE, so much that i considered selling my current Ps4 to get that. But in general it doesn't seem like much thought goes into those consoles, except for MGS V and Destiny TTK of course, also some Japanese versions are very good looking.
I look at them as more a device to boost sales on the margins, not cause a wholesale change (which they dont).
It's more for that guy that loves Call of Duty (or Halo, or whatever game), doesn't have (in this case) a PS4 yet, and decides to "jump in". So he'll splurge $500, on his favorite game themed console because it seems like as good a time to go next gen as any. The platform holder gets some additional pure profit since they're usually overpriced.
And of course you'll get some collectors etc.
Also, I can see the point in aesthetics. Heck even when router shopping recently, I notice some are ugly and some look cool, or not as ugly. Same goes for most anything in life.
And yeah I'd heard that COD PS4 was ugly, but it actually is. Well, nothing wrong with it except the orange shapes/lines. But I guess that's literally all that's different.
You can normally pick up "regular" editions with a game, or lower than the rrp, and extra .5 TB will add about $5 to the BOM.
So not terrible value, but definitely not great value unless you value the special edition-ness.
And god those COD consoles are fugly. That's the real issue here. They probably look badass to a nine year old, but by god, florescent orange plastic??

How is the BOM relevant? The bottom line is the HD upgrade or game can add $50, in this you get both, so its not "overpriced" as Rangers said. Facts right?

So guys... this "[insert month here] will be interesting" thing... is it a meme?
Is it code for, "I can't wait for [insert month here] sales results, to see [insert console platform here] get destroyed by [insert console platform here]"?

If you don't mind me asking........
approx how many frames is that worth.......ballpark'ish?
Sometimes it can just mean...interesting
The next four months will be very, well, interesting, for the sales race. Now it gets exciting. Tons of bundles too. Today MS announced they are introducing a bundle every day next week!
Interest intensifies... For the next few months
I mean, just having Sony win by x amount is not interesting. Microsoft is bringing some serious competition in terms of games and possibly bundles, so if they pull out a win despite Sony having the insta-sale bundles with Star Wars and Cawadooty it'll be great for them.
