why not?
Gaijin has in the past made the P-38K, T-34 Prototype, German Sherman and other very temporary packs available on the PS store.

As a player with give or take 20 thousand hours in the game, playing and admiring the models, a almost 10 year login streak as of the time of writing and avid collector of rare and event vehicles it is incredibly disapointing and frustrating that i am being excluded from this

The issue is with Sony. I am certain that Gaijin would like to make it available for PlayStation but they are in a sense at Sony’s mercy. Its always an issue and also a reason why Console Sales dont always match up with the PC ones (sometimes they are earlier on Console, sometimes later)

Considering that in the past Gaijin has been able to make the P-38K, T-34 prototype and German Sherman pack available for special occasions i don’t see why this should be any different.
Unless Gaijin only decided this at the very last minute in which case it is in my opinion still their fault.

The very least they could have done is make the vehicles available for GE to console players, this has been done in the past aswell with special occasion bundles they didn’t want to put the effort in for like the blackfriday bundles or the WW2 anniversary one.

XM-1 Chrysler + effectively a free bote in the bundle?

RAHHHHHH!!! 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

USA! 🇺🇸 USA! 🇺🇸 USA! 🇺🇸

Were they on sale or just available to buy?

The P-38K, T-34 Prototype and German Sherman were just available to buy like they were for PC players.
The XM-1C and Bennion are not discounted either, they either forgot about or just don’t care about console players with what is a pretty big celebration and event Xbox players aren’t even being given the option to purchase the Bennion again despite the pack litterally already being on the Xbox store just not for sale.

They could atleast make the XM-1C available for like 9090 GE or something, i’d buy it in a heartbeat and i am sure other collectors on console like me would too and PC players would still in majority buy the pack because that is just better value for them.

The “they” here is still Sony

@Stona_WT
Would you atleast be able to explain why the packs won’t come to the PS store or why the Bennion isn’t being made available again on the Xbox store?

America’s 250th is a big event and the XM-1C is highly highly coveted, it could atleast have been made available for like 9090 GE or something aswell so that people like myself, avid collectors could atleast still get it. For PC players the bundle would still make more sense because they’d still get more value out of it and for PS players it would atleast be purchasable.

Real ones would’ve been nice

I doubt that sony would say no to yet another digital item on their store front that they get a cut from.

It is not like a sale where they might get less money because well it is a sale, it is another full priced item for them to sell.

Gaijin managed to do it with the T-34 prototype pack, the German Sherman pack, the P-38K pack, the wings of victory and Tracks of victory bundles, E-sports packs and bundles.

The fact that they didn’t manage now means that they either didn’t care, the whole decision was super last minute or they actively hate console players but that is unlikely. I mean Xbox players can’t even get Bennion despite it litterally being in the Xbox store, i imagine all Gaijin had to do was give microsoft a heads up “we’d like to sell this again for the 250th of america” some time in advance.

The least that could have been done was make the vehicles available for GE, price the XM-1C at 9090 GE or something, Bennion at something like 7480 GE and all would be well.
PS and Xbox players could get the vehicles too and join on the fun, PC players would still likely buy the packs or bundle because it has better value but no even that did not happen.

Theres a lot of reasons why it mightve not been able to be on the PS store. Theres a porcess to getting something added to the store and put on sale that takes time and maybe they couldnt meet their deadline. Maybe sony did flat out refuse. Theres no way to know for sure

Unless they last minute decided to sell these packs there is no way they could have missed a deadline for this.
It is not like America’s 250th isn’t a big event or an event without a very clear date on when it would happen.

why for the M1A1 HC andf not for the M1A2 SEP v3 ?

Then its more likely Sony was slow to accept the request

Where?

What happened to it being an Xbox exclusive.

They could have added it in as a GE premium as an alternative
