PS4 Bundled with Sports Game

[xaeniac]

Is there any way to get a PS4 Bundled with Sports Game? Could it happen this Christmas season or more than likely not? i am mainly a sports game player and would like to save a few bucks if possible.

You're better off going Xbox One, unless you're a big baseball fan (which I am). EA Access will get you all of the sports titles they released last year, plus a 10% discount on other digital purchases of EA titles. The free games go beyond that, with both Battlefield games, Dragon Age, Titanfall, and Need for Speed: Rivals among the other options. Basically, sports games get added shortly after their respective seasons end, which has those games in the EA Access Vault about 8 months after they launch, and you get a similar timeframe for non-sports games.

So, there are FIFA and Madden bundles for the Xbox One where you get the game, a year of EA Access (normally $30/year), and a 1-TB Xbox One for $400. Like I said, if you're not an MLB: The Show fan, that's easily the best option.

I don't see Sony throwing out sports bundles though. They aren't like Microsoft, who will bundle just about every meaningful game at some point (this holiday season's got both Tomb Raider games, Fallout 3 and 4, Forza 6, Halo 5, Gears Ultimate, and a bunch of others in various bundles). Especially since Microsoft is carrying Madden and FIFA bundles, and they exclusively have EA Access (Sony rejected it), I just don't see it happening.

I got my PS4 bundled with Madden 16 via NewEgg (then promptly traded Madden for a game I'd actually play).
