PS4 and Vita bundle heading to Europe today for under £500

Sony confirms new console bundles featuring PlayStation 4 and PS Vita systems will hit select retailers across Europe for under £500, Eurogamer reports.

The release of the bundle will be dictated by PS4 stock and pre-orders, said Gara; However, offers to buy the bundle will be live as of tonight. As the PS$ sells individually for £349 in the U.K. and the PS Vita can be purchased for roughly £150, European users can expect to save roughly £10 when purchasing both systems with the bundle.

"We're working with our retail partners to put across that proposition as well as we can," Sony UK boss Fergal Gara told 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."
