Limited-edition ‘Destiny 2’ PS4 Pro bundle comes with new, white console

By Garrett Hulfish Published July 10, 2017

In recent generations, consoles have steered toward minimal, black designs to better blend in with the rest of an entertainment center. Many people have enjoyed this trend, but many remain who want their consoles to stand out. With the upcoming limited-edition Destiny 2 PlayStation 4 Pro bundle, fans will have a chance to stand out with a white console.

On Monday, the PlayStation Blog revealed this limited-edition bundle includes a copy of Destiny 2 and a code for its expansion pass, which includes access to two add-ons and a digital content pack. Destiny 2‘s Digital Deluxe Edition contains a similar content pack that includes a legendary sword, legendary emote, and a Cabal Empire-themed emblem.

The big draw with this limited-edition bundle is the Glacier White PS4 with a matching controller. This console comes with a 1 TB hard drive and is currently the only way to purchase a white PS4 Pro. With the Digital Deluxe edition selling for $100 and the standard PS4 Pro selling for $399, the Glacier White Destiny 2 PS4 Pro bundle offers a great deal at only $450 in the United States. This $50 in savings is perfect for Destiny fans who were already looking to upgrade to the PS4 Pro.

Historically, this is a repeat of Destiny‘s launch. Sony marked the original game’s launch as a perfect time to release the Glacier White version of the original PS4. While the color variant was originally only available through this bundle, it eventually sold separate from the bundle, but only in Europe. Already this year, Sony has released white, gold, and silver versions of the slim PS4. The Glacier White PS4 Pro marks the first variant offered for the premiere console.

The limited-edition Destiny 2 PS4 Pro bundle launches alongside the game on September 6. In the meantime, Destiny fans have the chance to try out the Destiny 2 beta next week. This open beta kicks off on July 18 and lasts through July 23. Here, players will have the chance to try out multiple play modes including the main campaign, a strike mission, and competitive play. Each of the new subclasses will be available to check out.

Sony explains why the PS5 Pro is so expensive and doesn’t come with disc drive

A PS5 Pro that's floating in front of a gray background. It's turned to the side.

By all accounts, the PlayStation 5 Pro is a high-tech console that'll make your games look phenomenal thanks to a new custom GPU and machine-learning-based AI upscaling. In short, it'll make performance modes in the most intense games that much better. However, many were put off by the $700 price tag, which is up to $250 more than the PlayStation 5 Slim.

In an interview with IGN, PlayStation senior principal product manager Toshi Aoki explains the reasoning behind the exorbitant price tag, saying that it's worth it for all the new technology you're going to get.

The PS5 Pro is the wrong price at the wrong time

The front of the PS5 Pro is shown close up.

The PlayStation 5 had barely touched down on shelves in 2020 when players began begging for a Pro model. That was a testament to the success of the PS4 Pro in 2016, which successfully made the case for a mid-generation console upgrade. It increased the console’s power significantly, giving players a reason to upgrade ahead of major titles like Horizon Zero Dawn. It makes perfect sense that Sony would want to repeat that trick with the PS5.

Considering the years of hype, the grand reveal likely didn’t go as well as Sony hoped.

Destiny 2 moving to two smaller expansions per year instead of one big one

A ship that's crashed on a planet. It's in pieces and there are a copule white structures in the background.

Bungie announced big changes to Destiny 2 with the hope thatthey'll help bring in new players and free up developers following massive layoffs in July.

In a post published Monday, the development team laid out the Codename: Frontiers road map, which will bring the live-service shooter through the end of 2025. Each Destiny 2 year will have a new makeup going forward; instead of one major expansion per year and and three episodes, the game will now have two medium-sized expansions and four "major updates."
