This is basically a new PS5 Slim with MW3 for free, since the PS5 Slim is $499 on its own.

Hopefully after this game, sony stops advertising for call of duty, and get people used to other games, for when the eventuall day comes that the series is no longer on the system.
They will advertise until the contract is in place. After that they can't advertise even if they wanted, before that they can't stop even if they wanted (unless of course the contract is changed/broken).
This is their last CoD game on the old advertising deal they had with Activision. Starting next year Xbox can advertise and bundle CoD games.
This looks good (on paper) and I'm sure it will sell plenty this holiday.
But realistically; Sony can give this game (or any other future games in bundles) for "free" since the slim didn't get a price cut.
No, it's the same price as the current one, 549 Euros.
I think the discless is 50 more expensive, the one with disc is same price.
This will fly of the shelf on Black Friday.
Well well well let the bundle games begin!
A digital game (or several) should really go with the Digital Edition too since the Slim Digital is an increase in price.
Why should the new PS5 model be cheaper?
It's the iPhone of consoles.
