Pre-orders for the bundle, the full contents of which can be found below, open on March 22 at 7 AM PT (2 PM GMT). It will be available for pre-sale "in limited quantities" at participating retailers.

Here's what the bundle includes:

Sony has said it will "have another wave in the summer" available to those that miss out on the initial allocation.
