Many gamers still stuck on older consoles have a better incentive than ever to upgrade to the PlayStation 4, thanks to Best Buy and GameStop.
Both retailers recently announced that certain PlayStation 4 bundles will come with a free copy of Fallout 4, which releases tomorrow.
Best Buy plans on giving away Fallout 4 for consumers that take advantage of the following bundles: the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection PS4 bundle for $349.99, the Destiny: The Taken King limited edition bundle for $399.99 or the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 bundle for $429.99. All three bundles come with a free copy of the new title in the Fallout franchise, as well as a controller charging station.
Best Buy previously offered a pre-order Fallout 4 Xbox One bundle that not only included a copy of the game and an Xbox One console, but also a season pass for all Fallout 4 DLC and socks featuring the Fallout boy. Other retailer pre-order offers included posters, Xbox One faceplates and a copy of Fallout 3.
Bethesda offered a special edition version of the game that included a life-size Pip Boy, but that edition quickly sold out (although copies later turned up on eBay at outrageous prices).
GameStop also plans on giving away free copies of the new Bethesda title, offering the free game with its Uncharted PS4 bundle for $349.99.
These new deals from both Best Buy and GameStop are now available, offering gamers the chance to bring a new console and a copy of Fallout 4 home as of tomorrow, when the title launches. Also, for those gamers planning on missing work on Tuesday, Bethesda recently offered a handy doctor's note.
So far, no one knows much about the story of Fallout 4, save for the few teases left by the most recent trailer, mentioning The Institute and synths. Tomorrow, though, the game itself will reveal all.
So far, reviews are mostly positive for Fallout 4, with the title receiving a score of 89 on Metacritic.
"The world, exploration, crafting, atmosphere, and story of Fallout 4 are all key parts of this hugely successful sandbox role-playing game," wrote IGN in its review. "Great new reasons to obsessively gather and hoard relics of happier times, strong companions, and sympathetic villains driving tough decisions make it an adventure I'll definitely replay and revisit."
Fallout 4 lands in stores tomorrow for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
