The PS4 price cut is finally official. Starting tomorrow, you’ll be able to purchase the console for $349.99 in the United States and for $429.99 in Canada. The price cut actually follows up closely on the heels of the console’s price cut in Japan which allowed for a more than ten fold increase in sales from week to week.

Sony also introduced a number of different bundles for the Holiday season. They included an Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection bundle ($350/CAD $430), a limited edition 1 TB bundle with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 ($430/CAD $500), a limited edition bundle with Disney Infinity 3.0: Star Wars ($400/CAD $470), a limited edition Star Wars Battlefront bundle ($400/CAD $470), a regular bundle with Star Wars Battlefront ($350/CAD $430) and an NHL 16 bundle for Canada (CAD $430).

EA Access members can now play NHL 16, the next big iteration in the EA Sports hockey franchise, about five days early.

This is the full game but you don’t get unlimited playtime. Instead, the EA Access version features a 10 hour trial where you’re invited to progress as far as you’d like within the time limit. Progress will carry forward into the main game if you purchase it, whether through digital or physical means, after the trial finishes.

As now, this is exclusive to Xbox One players who will also receive a 10 percent discount on NHL 16. If you’re looking to play the game on Xbox One and have EA Access, then this is a pretty good incentive to try it before release.

NHL 16 is set to release on September 15th for Xbox One, PS4, PS3 and Xbox 360. Will you be picking up the game or playing it early? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned for more information.

With the announcement that NHL 16 is coming this September, fans of the long-running series have already started asking whether or not this year’s game is going to be a step up from NHL 15. It seems as though Electronic Arts better be answering those questions with a resounding “yes” if they want to keep those fans coming back. While the first iteration of the long running hockey series offered on the Xbox One and PS4 brought features such as better graphics and fun gameplay, it also apparently left quite a few features on the cutting room floor.

This years version of the game will bring 6 vs 6 online team,  online couch co-op which will allow local players to jump in and out of online matches, Be a GM, Be a Pro and Hockey Ultimate Team. NHL 16 is also going to be bringing a much-loved feature back after being left out of NHL 15. EA Sports Hockey League is returning this September when the game hits the Xbox One and PS4 consoles.

The online team mode was left out of last year’s version and will be coming back in a “reimagined” format. In the past the mode let players choose a specialised class “to deliver a balanced competitive experience on the ice.” EA is also offering improved visuals and a “story-driven commentary package to pull you into the energy of the game like never before.”

For Xbox 360 and PS3 players, EA is going to be bringing NHL Legacy Edition. This game is apparently a scaled down version of the game that also offers updated rosters and “brings together the most popular modes and award-winning gameplay features from nine years of NHL hockey.” We don’t have a trailer for NHL 16 yet but you can see a video below that gives at least a glimpse of what the game offers.
