PS4 players of “Star Wars Battlefront” who are also very much into the lore of the “Star Wars” universe can rejoice. EA has announced a limited edition version of the “Star Wars Battlefront” PS4 bundle featuring none other than the villainous Darth Vader.

The new bundle sees a 500GB PS4 console etched with the image of the masked villain. But as an add-on the DualShock 4 controller is also fashioned to show off Darth Vader’s red lightsaber via the D-pad buttons, as seen in the video below.

According to the official “Star Wars Battlefront” website, the bundle will also feature classic games, including “Star Wars: Racer Revenge,” “Super Star Wars,” “Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter” and “Star Wars Bounty Hunter.” This is on top of the “Star Wars: Battlefront” title.

The limited edition “Star Wars Battlefront’ PS4 bundle costs $449.99 (approx. AU$630). But for fans who do not want to shell out that much but still want the “Star Wars Battlefront” treatment to their consoles, EA is also offering the standard edition of the PS4. While the PS4 console and controller are not customized, it comes with the five games mentioned above. The price is considerably lower as well at $399.99 (approx AU$560).
