Sony adds some freebies to PS4 launch packages


With only a week to go until the PlayStation 4 hits stores in North America, we thought we knew exactly what was going to be included in each box (as outlined in a recent comprehensive FAQ). Turns out that list wasn't complete: Sony is throwing in a few last-minute freebies for new PS4 buyers.


The company announced today that, for a limited time, all new PS4 systems would include a voucher for $10 of credit in the PlayStation Store, which can be used on a number of PS4 launch titles (or PS3 and Vita titles, if you prefer). In addition, buyers will get a 30-day trial of PlayStation Plus, giving them temporary access to a bevy of features, including online gameplay and an Instant Game Collection that will include PS4 indie titles Resogun and Contrast at launch.


Sony is also throwing in a 30-day free trial of its Music Unlimited streaming service for new subscribers to the $10/month Premium Plan. It's hard to consider this an extra freebie, though, since this same offer is available to anyone that wants to try out the service, PS4 or no.


These kinds of launch-day freebies might not seem that exciting to those of us that remember the good old days when systems used to include entire games or even second controllers in the launch-day box. Still, it's better than nothing and it won't last forever, so think about it if you're still on the fence about being an early adopter.
