Amazon Currently Offering Free Year of PlayStation Plus with PlayStation 4 Purchase

The Xbox One is certainly not without its merits–Killer Instinct comes to mind–but when it comes to accessing the most complete catalog of current generation fighting titles while also preparing for future releases, Sony’s PlayStation 4 offers the most bang for your buck.

Capcom has already stated that the upcoming Street Fighter V will be exclusive to the PlayStation 4 and PC at the time of launch. Tack on Ultra Street Fighter IV’s recent addition to the Playstation Network, the upcoming release of Skullgirls 2nd Encore, and the (currently) PlayStation-exclusive Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, and there are more than a couple of reasons for fighting fans to jump on the Sony bandwagon.

Those currently in the market for a PlayStation 4 will be pleased to know that Amazon recently began bundling the console with a free year of PlayStation Plus, a $50 value by itself. Sadly, the system’s $399.99 price point hasn’t changed, but a full year of free online fights is not to be ignored.

This free year of PlayStation Plus will only be available today and tomorrow, so act fast.

Double Perfects, Tiny Trophies, and More – Capcom Lists Their Favorite Stunfest 2015 Moments

While most of the fighting game community was focused on Combo Breaker’s inaugural installment in Chicago, fans in France were treated to some of the craziest Ultra Street Fighter IV play around as visitors from around the globe competed for automatic entry into Capcom Cup 2015. The weekend would see players like Mad Catz’ Daigo Umehara, Yusuke Momochi of Evil Geniuses, r/Kappa’s Seonwoo “Infiltration” Lee, and many more descend upon Rennes and provide some ridiculous match footage in the process.

Much like they’ve done for previous events, Capcom recently released a quick highlight reel to give a bit more attention to what they thought were the top five moments of Stunfest 2015. These range from in-game accomplishments like r/Kappa|Poongko’s double perfect on Mad Catz’ Hajime “Tokido” Taniguchi to Infiltration’s funny response to his rather small third-place trophy.

Check out the video below and let us know how well Capcom’s choices line up with your own.
