I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a new console, and I think I've settled on the PS4.

I'm looking now at Amazon UK, where I can get the PS4 + The Last Of Us - Remastered for £400.

Yet if I buy them seperately Amazon will sell me the basic console for £330 and the game for £31.

So why is the bundle £39 more expensive than buying them seperate? What am I missing here?

Probably an old bundle offer.
There bundling destiny with the PS4 now
I seen it in GameStop over the weekend for 399 Euro.
It would be cheaper in sterling.
I would wait a little linger if I were you, competition is going the be fierce coming up to Christmas between Microsoft and Sony.

Thing is I'm not terribly interested in Destiny.

I know competition is going to be intense coming up towards Christmas.... see the XB1 price drop that just happened, and is now being matched by Sony. The problem is I'm expecting to be going away to sea in the next 2-3 weeks until maybe mid-Feb, and I want it to take with me for some entertainment.

double check, sometimes the bundles have a 2nd controller

I think marko is right... it's an old bundle that's still selling at an old price.

It looks like the whole XB1/PS4 pricing thing is pretty dynamic at the moment, they're both jostling for the Christmas market.

It looks like dropping Kinnect and selling for £350 wasn't enough for the XB1 to claw back the UK market from the PS4. The XB1 recently went down to £330 for the console, so Sony matched that with the PS4. Yesterday I saw an XB1 with FIFA 15 bundle being sold at one big supermarket chain here for £330. I now read that the PS4 with FIFA 15 will be available for the same price pretty soon.

I'm planning on picking up the PS4 with The Last Of Us Remastered and Shadow of Mordor. At the moment it looks like Amazon and Tesco are tied for cheapest price. Asda is more expensive. I've got Amazon Prime, so I could get it through that.... but I'm heading out tomorrow for a grocery shop anyway.... and I've got two big Tesco superstores within a few miles of me so I think I'll pick it up from them.
