The First 1 TB PlayStation 4 Flaunts Sony’s New Call Of Duty Partnership
This year’s Call of Duty installment, Black Ops III, marks a number of changes for the franchise. Cooperative play gets a boost this year, as players can take on the story with friends. There’s also a major shift on the platform front.
Starting in 2010, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Microsoft and Activision were partnered up. DLC arrived a month in advance of PlayStation and PC platforms.
In 2015, the sides are flipped, with Sony announcing that it is now allied with Activision for this purpose for this year and beyond. To celebrate the deal, Sony is putting Call of Duty branding on the first 1 TB PlayStation 4.
The console is priced at $449 and includes a copy of Black Ops III. Also included is the revisited Nuk3town map.

Our Take
I’m not a big fan of the looks of this console. However, those looking to get a PS4 this holiday might want to consider it for the larger hard drive. I’m still using my original 500 GB drive, and to suggest that I have to juggle to keep enough space open would be an understatement.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
