Ehhhh I don't think those games will be part of Bundles any time soon. Far Cry is recently released. Generally I find that bundles are with games that don't sell as good as other games. However there was recently some GTAV bundles around. Maybe get the best value for money bundle you can, sell those games on Trade Me, and use that money to buy the games you want off Amazon/NZGameShop/MightyApe/Wherever.

Meh my partner bought me a PS4 early - they've got very little margin to retailers so won't drop hugely unless if they were sold as a loss leader (and console bundles normally don't drop that far). There is no right time to buy technology as no matter when you buy it there will always be a cheaper price sometime in the future.

I would wait until Boxing Day.

Usually that's the point in my life when I feel the lowest (Christmas is over, no one loves me), so I think "Wow this is the lowest point in my life, what's the lamest thing I could buy that would make me feel a bit less sad about my vapid life" and I've purchased previous Sony Products that I've been very happy/burst into tears over.

Def boxing day.

Hope this helps.

Oh edit: Also sometimes the prices are cheaper too.

Check the recent mailers in your mailbox, I saw some deals from NL, The Warehouse, Dick Smith and HN. Some are bundled at 4 games + PS4 for around $650 I think.

I got the GTAV/FarCry bundle from EB. $650 for the console including two games that are selling for at least $80 each is pretty good.
