PlayStation 4 Bundles

If you are looking for the best PlayStation 4 gift ideas this holiday season, the best place to start is with a PS4 console! After all, PS4 games and accessories would be rather useless without a PlayStation 4 this holiday season.

1TB PlayStation 4 Pro

Technically this is not a bundle, since it does not come with a game, but the PS4 Pro is the must have PlayStation console of the holiday season. The PS4 Pro features improved processing power for better graphics, making it the perfect companion to that shiny new 4K TV you picked up for the holidays. Although the PlayStation 4 Pro lacks a 4K Blu Ray drive, it will be able to stream 4K content from apps like Netflix.

Uncharted 4 PS4 Slim Bundle

If you are looking for a game bundled with your new PS4, look no further than the Uncharted 4 PS4 Slim. The PS4 Slim still supports HDR, though it will not be as powerful as the PS4 Pro. If you are positive there are no 4K TVs in your future and graphics were never your thing, the PS4 Slim is the console for you. The Slim is also the version most likely to be seen in Black Friday deals.

PlayStation VR Bundle

The PlayStation VR Bundle might be the hottest item of the holiday season, and there are a few items you need outside of the VR headset.
