PS4’s going orange & gold in new color schemes for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (release date: November 6, 2015), and via a USA-exclusive Taco Bell contest! The new Black Ops 3 Grey & Orange controller will also be sold separately, and the orange PS4 (also sold in a normal black color) will sell for $500. The gold PS4 is USA-exclusive and can be won in a Taco Bell contest, with only 6,000 Gold PS4’s being made!
First off, here is a look at Black Ops 3: Zombies!
Call of Duty: Black Ops III Limited Edition PS4 Details
Back in June during our Sony E3 2015 Press Conference, we announced that PlayStation is the new home of Call of Duty, bringing you early access to the Black Ops III Beta and upcoming DLC. Now you can play that early content in style with the Call of Duty: Black Ops III Limited Edition PlayStation 4 Bundle, available on November 6th.
This PS4 features the Call of Duty: Black Ops III ember orange logo on a Jet Black chassis, complete with colored power and eject buttons, as well as three emblems on the front each representing a game mode — the SOG Skull signifies campaign, the Winslow Accord faction logo is pulled straight from the game’s fiction, representing one of the factions you play in multiplayer, and “the mark” denotes zombies.
The DualShock 4 included has a grey and orange color scheme, along with the III logo on the right grip. We’ll also sell the DualShock 4 as a standalone item separately from the bundle.
Also included is the standard edition of the blockbuster game, along with the bonus NUK3TOWN multiplayer map. That’s right, the most popular map in Black Ops history re-imagined for a new generation of play.
The PS4 included has a 1TB hard disk drive, the first of its kind in North America. That’s plenty of room for the DLC — which comes 30 days earlier on PS4 — and saved videos of your best matches. That Share button is going to get a workout, too — our 3.00 system software update for PS4 adds the ability to share short video clips directly to Twitter natively, making it much easier to share your multiplayer feats with the world.
The bundle will be available alongside Call of Duty: Black Ops III’s launch for $500 (MSRP), and pre-orders start today. The bundle will also be released in Canada for $550 CAD (MSRP). We hope you like our new look! This bundle represents the next step in our collaboration with Activision, Call of Duty, and Treyarch. In fact, Activision’s GM of Call of Duty Rob Kostich wanted to chime in with a few quick words:
“Last month’s beta on PS4 was a phenomenal success. We want to thank the amazing PlayStation Nation for its feedback, for its participation, and for making Black Ops III the largest beta in PS4 history! Black Ops III is without a doubt the most ambitious game that Call of Duty has ever created — Treyarch is pushing the boundaries across each and every mode of play on PS4.”
“From day one, it has been designed to push the franchise to new heights on next generation hardware. We cannot wait for you to experience Black Ops III for yourselves on November 6th, and we hope you like the Black Ops III Limited Edition PS4 as much as we do!”

Damn! Now I’m craving a Taco Bell Quesarito! I freakin’ love those things!
It’s great to see Sony experimenting with some new color schemes, as well as dropping a 1TB system on us!
Orange & Black?!?! I don’t know about you, but I find that color scheme to be super slick & very cool. I also love that grey & orange PS4 controller!
I bet those gold PS4’s are going to sell for one pretty penny on ebay, considering that only 6,000 of them are being made!
Which do you prefer? Gold PS4 or Orange PS4?
