Yeah seems like this overpriced bundle is not selling. It was on Amazon for so long and still have stock. Good job Ozbargainers for not paying overpriced bundle. Now Sony has no choice but to drop the price.
Looks like they’re just piggybacking off eBay’s sale rather than cutting the price themselves
Decent price. Paying $46 for Horizon
Decent price, good to see stock is levelling up.
HODL for more discount I would say. Ones not getting the console before won't be eager to grab one now anyway.
I’ve been holding for 2 years.
Same same.
Only another 2 to go. When it's been replaced by the Pro
And then it'll be holding for the prices to drop even more. Maybe when the PS or 7 comes out
Only way you will be getting discounts for the console is coupons or gift cards. Most coupons usually exclude consoles so this looks pretty good. Doubt any deals will come up in the black friday sales for consoles or towards christmas.
PS5 has had a new model released with cheaper production costs. Sony have jacked the price up by $50 in our market from $750 RRP to $800 RRP. By this point it's 2yrs into the console life and when we normally start to see price cuts & aggressive holiday sales.
Hopefully Microsoft will start doing good deals on Series X and force Sony to drop their pricing. Ridiculous they would jack the price. Waiting for sub $700 sale pricing on this console. Exclusives still aren't there yet either.
I would doubt xbox would reduce their price when Sony just increased theirs. You would probably be more likely to see a sale from them before Sony though. Unfortunately companies are still riding on the 'pandemic' causing issues and somehow still justify the price hikes as that despite things coming back to normal.
2021 model with the old chip, not the new 2022 model with the newer 6nm chip.
What different does it make?
I thought the change was mainly cost cutting.
Just stating the facts, I don't know the differences from a performance perspective other than the new chip generates less heat, hence smaller heat sink.
Zero difference in performance. The only one who benefits from a new chip is Sony with reduced production cost.
@Azro: Gaming performance being comparable to previous models might be a design decision. The architecture of the original chip compared to the new chip is the same I think. Just scaled down for the new 6nm manufacturing process. Thermal performance has definitely improved.
@Azro: Less power, less heat… Yeah, who cares.
@Azro: Use 10% less power and less heat to get rid off. While Sony can cut more chips from the same wafer, the production costs are higher per wafer because of the newer, smaller (and more expensive) node.
I wasn't having a go just generally curious, from what I have heard there isn't an advantage over either model.
People have reported that the new consoles in the HFW bundle have been the latest revision.
Will probably have to hand in my OzB license for paying the higher price, but I bought this bundle recently from BigW. The console I received is CFI-1202A.
Isn’t the heat sink worse in the newer version?
It's not. Yes, It's smaller as the new chip generates less heat. But that doesn't make it worse.
It's only worse if you want to replace the CMOS battery as it's now hidden behind the redesigned heatsink. You'll apparently need to disassemble the unit to get to it now
I wouldn't be losing any sleep over this.
Some people care about it, some people don't. It's just another data point for people to consider in their decision-making process.
Will this have the old firmware for jailbreak?
I got a 1200 series from JB Hifi this week that had 5.50. You want something with 4.03 or 4.50 - the 1100 series Horizon bundle shipped with 4.50 but thats likely been replaced with the 1200 series by now
I have purchased the bundle from Amazon. I confirmed it is 1200 series, 6nm APU
How do we check this? What do we look for to differentiate the two?
It's the model code. If it's something like CFI-1200 then it's the 2022 refresh. So far none of the retailer product description include that info so it's hard to tell when you're pre-ordering or buying online.
The newer model also user’s less power …
I bet it equates to a few bucks over a year or something negligible like that though.
200W vs 220W. Nothing game changing.
@Azro: Yeah it is nothing, correct.
I bought this bundle from Big W a month ago, I got the 2022 refresh model.
It seems there are HFW bundles with the refreshed 1200-series hardware instead of the CFI-1102A I saw previously. If that's the case, then it's the 2022 model with the 6nm chip.
Only 23 left
Looks like they added more stock
They must have, it says "Only 25 left" now. And they must have sold more than -2 of them in the last 90 minutes.
If you are getting one at least use discounted ebay gift cards that you accumulated from shopback or cashrewards. Im gonna hold out for later.
Should be $795 for this bundle.
Imagine having your jimmies rustles for 5% difference on an $800+ purchase with free delivery
One day SONY will realise the price jack is a huge mistake, especially when the economics going terrible…
It sucks yes but it's a once off payment of $50. Don't have takeaway for a week or two and you've covered it. I'm more pissed off by the cost of fuel and groceries going up as much as they have to be honest.
People don’t like to be charged more, it probably will sway some of those who are undecided or indifferent towards Xbox.
Unlike mate. Some ppl bought for the latest ($849) price and razz it for $1200 and many ppl join in the razz. So, yeah..Sony doesn't care and flippers gonna flip
Here's a buying idea, add PULSE 3D Wireless Headset $149 to qualify for the $100 discount, effectively paying $99 for the headset. Most stores are selling them for $159, cheapest from Amazon is $139.
Good idea, spend $105.05 more and get a further 50 off.
Dualsenses too would be a good discount like that, in different colours they range from 103.55 to 113.05
Or an extra controller and a charging hub.
HODL PS6 not long now!
Shocked to actually see a PS5 post below RRP
This MIGHT have been good if that Amex Sony offer was still valid… and was on Sony's online store :(
$834.95 after using coupon "SNSMD2L9MKR5ZJ7M" - I use Ebay Plus. Not sure if it works for everyone.
This works for me too
SNSMD2L9MKR5ZJ7M the code worked for you?
Looks like a unique code
Yes. I am a plus member which maybe the reason it worked.
@Bang1: I am not an eBay plus user I could use this code. SnsOct only gives me $50 off
@SamTheRealMan: So it works for everyone? Thats good to know.
@Bang1: I think it’s targeted, it showed up under the item
The horizon 2 code only worths $30 nowadays.
Better wait the upcoming God of War bundle
Is there going to be a bundle?
I don't imagine they would bundle a new release a short time after release.
That's great, makes no sense really though unless there is no saving and it's full RRP on console and game….which is likely with Sony.
Thanks
ill only buy when there is a must play PlayStation exclusive title in the ballpark of a gta or naught dog
Good to know thanks 🤷
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart? Lol
I bought a ps5 just for this 😂
What? you don't want to play the last of us part 1 for the third time?
I know I don't that for sure :)
I'll wait for the single disc version, surely that'll be cheaper?
Reminds me of the sound system my parents had a 5 cd changer.
There's a zero disc version already which is cheaper

Be careful selling digital item on Ebay. Easily scammed. I had buyers doing chargeback claiming their account was hacked and Ebay sided with them.
Happened more than once.
Problem is not just digital item but physical item too. Whether eBay or PayPal, they side with buyers first and the onus is on the sellers to fight for it.
Yes, but my point is with Physical, there's more room to provide proof, such as tracked post, video of posting etc - with digital, no argument at all.
@tajid: No worries, you can also sell it on Facebook marketplace, or even here on the Ozbargain classified section.
Not sure why you're getting negged. It's a quick and easy scam for buyers to pull. I've had this exat thing happen to me
Yep. Happened to me a long time ago too. Paypal and Ebay is full of loopholes for scammers.
Wow not sold out yet!
Hi Guys, how many controllers are there in this bundle?
1
I bought this bundle on Amazon at $894 one day ago, just contacted Amazon was told I can reject the item when it arrives and get full refund.
$50 saved thank you so much!
Could anybody recommend any 4k tv around or under $1000 good for ps5 gaming?
Can anybody tell me why I get downvoted? Did I do something wrong? Thanks
Hodl or not?
Still game on my ps2… so painful.
With the price increase and this being under RRP, I'd say buy especially if you want to play HFW.
No one can really answer that but yourself, but I upgraded from a PS4 last week and Ive been enjoying it.
The system is much faster so when youre short of time, so you can easily get a short gaming session going without wasting time loading (especially for some games like GT7)
Suprise for me was the controller.
Not only is it more comfortable, but the haptics is much better. Ive only played a few games that take advantage of the new controller, but from what ive played, its quite good.
Gaming has changed a lot since the PS2. Some good and some not so good
Hope next time we can use a 10% or 12% off coupon…
Don't want the game so I'll keep waiting I guess
There are no more manufacturing or distribution delays, so sony is ramping production back to regular/non covid times. They also are doing a big push for christmas.
Nice to see we finally at a point where these don't sellout within the first min
Can someone please aware me why this is a deal?
Seems like an incredibly high price for a console that has been out a long time (probably a silly comment but I would have thought they would drop in price by now?)
It's below the typical price it normally sells at. PS1 was released in 1994. We're at the PS5 in 2022. A console has a different lifecycle to things like phones, computers, etc.
There are also events like the pandemic, drought in Taiwan, global climate which have caused supply chain issues.
TLDR: Yes -
a silly comment
how come for me the price is $844.95 when in checkout?
ebay plus member?
That’s SNSOCT code. The targeted code SNSMD2 is $10 extra discount.
Seems they are overstocking the bundle version. This bundle is available in most retailers.
