FlareXV Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Yesterday, on the 21st of January, Sony announced that a SF5 PS4 bundle will be arriving on the 16th February 2016. It comes will a 1TB PS4 (newer model), a black DS4 controller and a copy of SF5. I'll post a picture below. This is the western version(US may get a different version)/package. Will be only in select countries, so find out if the bundle is available in yours. This is the Japanese version (More pictures in the article) Can you guess who's getting the better deal here? Anyway, which ones do you prefer? Drop me a comment in the comment box.

BooneIronshield Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I can't say I'm surprised. Japan always gets the really cool looking Vita system versions too like the Soul Sacrifice and Toukiden ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan always gets the really cool looking Vita system versions too like the Soul Sacrifice and Toukiden ones. It's just depressing sometimes. I know that it's just face places but it grates because EU and NA is the reason PS4 is at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Even my wife complained there were only bundled PS4's when she tried to buy me one. There are just too many bundle options. This is the western version/package. Will be only in select countries, so find out if the bundle is available in yours. Also, it's fishy that you say the top picture is for Western release, but that's not an ESRB rating on the box, so it's definitely not for the US.

You can be optimistic but I doubt US will get the JPN one but, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 You can be optimistic but I doubt US will get the JPN one but, who knows? Well, the Japan one is just the console with no game, so that *definitely* isn't coming to the US, since we *only* get bundles. I guess we will just wait until February 16 and find out what ships where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoSlash Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm curious to know the reason that excuses the fact the western market will get a plain regular PS4 instead of a nice custom one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American buyers for retailers don't take chances. They buy "safe." As such, manufacturers like Sony cater to safe buyers with these types of safe options and the cycle of mediocrity continues... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipeSwinger Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Honestly... I need to move to Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel_Shadow170 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Any sony or nintendo system always has the japan one look so much better then NA. With that said i'd pass already have the 20th anniversary and black ps4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did special ones for Destiny: The Taken King, Arkham Knight, and Black Ops III. I have the Batman one, but I like it for the colors as much as anything.

Destiny and COD both had green lights for purchasing because of the numbers of games those moved. Street Fighter is a gamble. I only know this because I know a couple buyers for big US retailers.

Fair enough, but I still like my PS4. I would've gotten the Dragon Quest one had it been released here. I almost did, in fact, but I regret nothing.

That's because those are American franchises that sell well, therefore SCEA has no problem taking a chance issuing a special PS4. On the topic, it's just a faceplate. If you want one so bad then buy a custom one. Not that hard and way cheaper than importing a system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just bought a new faceplate for my system from Amazon. They sell a ton of them for a lot of series at decent prices. I'm sure you can find a Street Fighter faceplate there.
