UPDATE: As stated in the article, the bundle will include a 500GB console, but after looking on the European Official Playstation Blog, I can now confirm that the European versions of the bundles will come packaged with a 1TB system, as opposed to the 500GB.
A lot of exciting news came out of this year's
D23 Expo in Anaheim, ranging from movies (a reportedly awesome
Captain America: Civil War trailer, lots of
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens/ Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One news etc) to video games at the Disney Interactive Panel. A lot of the focus in that particular panel was some awesome new footage of the highly-anticipated upcoming
Star Wars: Battlefront game in development by
DICE Studios, and
Disney Infinity 3.0 news. But thats not all that came out of the Disney Interactive Panel - Sony unveiled a brand new, special edition Star Wars Themed Playstation 4 system. And it has Darth Vader on it!
The fully customised system is a 500GB Playstation 4 with an image of Darth Vader in front of a repeating series of
Star Wars logos on the top side of the console. The custom
Dualshock 4 controller is inspired by Darth Vader's chest panel, and will also feature the recurring
Star Wars logo on the touchpad.
The special edition console (pictured above) will be available in two bundles - the
Star Wars: Battlefront bundle, and the
Disney Infinity 3.0 bundle. Here is what they will include:
-
Star Wars: Battlefront bundle:
-
Star Wars themed 500GB Playstation 4 system

In addition to these two incredible bundles, Sony will be offering a
