‘Bloodborne’ free with PS4 for a ‘limited time’, boasts Ster Kinekor

Fancy a go at Bloodborne but don’t want to spend exorbitant amounts of cash on a console? Don’t worry, all gamers are facing the same wallet-ruining predicament but Ster Kinekor, South Africa’s Sony PlayStation distributor and importer, is looking to ease the damage.

As of now, the company is offering the PlayStation 4 with the first real good exclusive of the year, Bloodborne, for R5999.

The bundle includes a Dual Shock 4 controller and the game, which, considering the console’s current benchmark R5799 pricetag, isn’t a bad deal at all.

“This deal is available at all participating retailers countrywide for a limited time only,” notes the presser, and ends on Sunday 19 April 2015.

Perhaps this is the true testament of Bloodborne‘s success above and beyond the PS4’s sales prowess.

The PS4 really doesn’t need much help selling itself with the console outselling its Microsoft counterpart, the Xbox One, worldwide. The Xbox One arguably offers much better exclusives too (in terms of volume), including Sunset Overdrive and Ori and the Blind Forest.

Nevertheless, this does seem like a brilliant time to purchase a PS4. All we can say is: you move, Microsoft.
