This is exciting. I like the approach their taking with these bundles.

ruibing6623d ago

Yeah they are finally learning to bundle their products well. Who would have thought the 40GB PS3 would be so good at being the core SKU for bundles. But I am really eager to see how well the MGS4 80GB bundle will do.

Syko6623d ago

I gotta disagree here. The fact that you only save $10 makes this so-so. The fact that you get two $hitty Crap-Axis controllers makes this a very bad deal.

Be better off making your own bundle of:
40gig PS3: $399.99
Dualshock 3: $59.99 ($54.99 w/Online Coupon Code at Play-Asia)
Gran Turismo: $39.99
6ft HDMI: $7

Grand Total: $501.97

I would rather have this deal ^^^ Especially since Rumble will be a big positive on GT5. Plus I could play in HD from day one....Just sayin. =)

hfaze6623d ago (Edited 6623d ago )

I hope Sony starts phasing out the SixAxis controller once the DualShock3 releases worldwide. Right now I wouldn't buy a bundle that came with two SixAxis controllers with the DualShock3 right around the corner.

I'm willing to bet that if Sony offered those bundles with two DS3's for the same price, they would sell much better. The only bundle game that doesn't support rumble is CoD4.

I have a pair of Japanese DS3's, and have been loving it since mid November. I don't even use my two SixAxis controllers anymore... :-)

TheHater6623d ago

Why don't the just make this a bundle for all stores such as bestbuy, target, etc... The will sell a lot more that way.

resistance1006623d ago

Its not quite the same as the Euro one, since it comes Free with the console over here.

Still anyone else notice in the papers today that Woolworths and Argos were advertising PS3 price cuts i.e from £299 -> £279

However i suspect these are just prices from the stores not sony in order to remain competitive with each other

TheHater6623d ago (Edited 6623d ago )

is Woolworths and Argos one store or two different stores?
Edit: OK, thanks a lot. I just wanted know.

resistance1006623d ago

They are both seperate companies. GUS Plc own Argos and Woolworths are there own company

PimpHandHappy6623d ago

and when bundles like these cost 350 bucks you will be seeing PS2 numbers in 4 years

thats a nice idea that im sure MS will copy real fast

deeznuts6623d ago

They need to make a GTAIV bundle. That would lessen the sales for the 360 version for sure. Lots of people who don't go on the netz don't even know there is a 360 version is coming.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle17d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde24d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy25d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga26d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199225d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga25d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman25d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger25d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box26d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion25d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7226d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7525d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit25d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14926d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7726d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
