In both cases, they were released in limited quantities, and in no time their respective prices shot up on secondary markets. This likely came as a great disappointment to those that wanted to own the white SKUs without paying a ridiculous sum of money.
Sony has yet to offer another bundle that comes with the Glacier White PS4, but Microsoft will be providing yet another Xbox One bundle with Halo: The Master Chief Collection. As announced today through Xbox Wire, the new(ish) bundle will retail for the usual $349, and come with the aforementioned console, a download code for The Master Chief Collection, and one wireless controller. Unfortunately, a specific release date wasn’t disclosed, which makes it a bit difficult to plan ahead.
Since the bundle will have a limited run, anyone that’s been holding out for another chance to own this particular variation on the console should keep an eye on their retailer of choice (or all of them). Major Nelson even said as much in the announcement post:
We know this won’t be the last Xbox One/Halo team-up this year, though, as its already been confirmed that Halo 5: Guardians is set to receive its own limited edition console when it launches in October. Specifics haven’t been revealed yet, but it’s probably safe to guess that it will feature Master Chief and come bundled with the upcoming game.
It’s no surprise that Xbox One bundles have done well for the company, which is likely what helped it overtake the PS4 last month. People like bundles the same way they like to see variety in their consoles, so why not give it to them?
What do you think of this new bundle? Have you been waiting for another chance to own a white Xbox One?
