Amazon will release a limited number of PlayStation 4 consoles for sale at 12:01 AM EST tonight, but there appears to be one big (and pricey) catch. The company is offering a $ 599.99 bundle that also includes a 7-inch Kindle Fire HDX with special offers. That winds up saving you $ 30, and while it sounds like a bizarre package at first, Amazon is portraying the two devices as a natural pair.
“While the PS4 heralds in the next generation of consoles, Kindle Fire HDX does the same for tablets with improved visuals, a faster processor, and the revolutionary ‘Mayday’ button,” the retailer writes. “Partner these together with the interactive Second Screen feature for a completely immersive entertainment experience.”
Is Amazon taking advantage of a popular product to get some extra Kindles out the door, or is this a genius business move on the company’s part? If you haven’t yet managed to secure a PS4, you’ve got less than an hour to decide if it’s worth the premium.
Update: Thankfully, it turns out that Amazon is also selling the PS4 unbundled at its regular $ 399.99 price. Overnight delivery is available, so you can have the console as early as Saturday if you get an order in early.
