Bundle looks nice. If I didn't have one, this would certainly push me towards one. Now just fix the price, and I'll buy my 3rd one for my parents. (One for me, One for fiance).

BadboyCivic6177d ago

Looks nice, needs a $100 price cut

MAR-TYR-DOM6177d ago

THIS better NOT be fake, like that InFamous going on sale for 29.99 in canada, that was complete BS cause this week was the week it was suppose to go on sale (canada day) and it isnt.

Livenow6177d ago

why not bundle it with a headset and a keyboard for use in Home?

RememberThe3576177d ago

Glad to see them pushing at least a little bit harder.

ryuyasho6177d ago

buying... I loved Wall-E and Little Big Planey for free... can't beat that...

BulletToothtony6177d ago

it had MLB the show and Quantum of Solace bluray.. but man best buy's looks way more appealing..

I guess best buys for the kids and walmarts for the father..

Rockstar6177d ago (Edited 6177d ago )

Infamous is on sale starting June 30th and running to July 2nd is it not?

cl63AMG6177d ago

LBP and Wall-E? thats one happy looking ps3 bundle. Might well with the young crowd looking for casual gaming/fun

kwicksandz6177d ago

only a year too late for the LBP bundle. Nice work sony!

Beast_Master6177d ago

Finally they are bundling games with the 80 gig! Glad to see they are pushing LBP as well. They should do a adult bundle as well so people have a choice. I would do like an Uncharted or KZ2 with a voucher for MAG open Beta.

Seeing how well MGS4 bundle sold last summer you would figure they would do more of these. As for the Price drop I keep telling people it is comming Oct. 1st along side the release of PSP Go. TGS is a week before, and the overpriceing of the GO is strictly to combat the hit the company takes for losing money on PS3, especially with the price drop. If they drop the price by 50 bucks and put FREE Onlne multi-player/PSN they could actually show the better value that consumers seem to not understand.

ABizzel16177d ago

This is aimed at kids, and it is possibly the best possible choice of movie and game. Ratchet and Clank: FTOD and the DLC should be added to make it an even better offer, until an official price cut comes into play.

whoelse6176d ago

This is a very good bundle. Still, it's not a $100 price cut is it. Maybe Sony are trying to sell off their fat PS3s ready for a $299 PS3 Slim for Christmas?

Just pure speculation, but possible.

randomwiz6176d ago (Edited 6176d ago )

its not Sony's idea, its Best Buy's.(the tv isn't, but the console cundle might be)

Best Buy often does this kind of thing around black friday/christmas. They will bundle either a 360, or a ps3 with a tv. But this is one hell of a deal.

Death6176d ago

LBP and Wall-E are catered more towards the family which is also closer to casual buyers. At $399 the PS3 is still priced for the hardcore buyers. Sony is still stuck with the price, but hopefully they will be able to come down before the crucial Holiday buying period. A bundle like this at that time for $299 would be great, although Wall-E might not have the impact that a newer movie like Up would have.

I still believe that the next price drop for the PS3 will be more in the lines of a $50 drop though. A $349 PS3 for Christmas is much more likely than a $299 PS3 unless the hardware goes through another revision.

Little Big Planet recieved OVERALL GAME OF THE YEAR at the AIAS awards.

In case you didn't know what that is, the AIAS awards is considered the video game equivalent of the Oscars.

That's quite an honor....you don't think so, deeznutssony?

JoySticksFTW6176d ago

LOL!! Aw, the rage of a jealous fan-girl... :(

Don't worry, deez. No one is forcing you to buy a PS3, watch Wall-E, or play "LBTurd". You're free to watch or play whatever console, movie, or game you choose. Knock yourself out :D

Nice family bundle. Best of both worlds, Wall-E blu-ray and one of the best PS3 games.

wooferine6177d ago

I was thinking the same thing. An excellent family bundle.

Finalfantasykid6177d ago

WALL-E is a superb movie, one of my favorites easily and looks amazing on blu ray disc. And LBP, while not exactly my favorite game, is the perfect game to bundle with.

rodeoo6176d ago

at my best buy this bundle is on sale with a 46" 1080p sony lcd for 1300$. IF i didn't already have both i would by it in a heart beat

killa916066177d ago

This bundle would truely bring the families money to sony instead of nitendo

Kamikaze1356177d ago

This is the best PS3 bundle I've seen. I wish this was around when I first bought mines, lol.

KingKionic 6177d ago

Nice bundle with Little Big Planet including

Walllle.

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.

solideagle27d 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

Relientk7727d ago

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

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde34d 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.

Soy35d 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.

Relientk7736d ago

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

Cacabunga36d ago

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

S2Killinit35d ago (Edited 35d 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.

neutralgamer199235d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga35d 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

1nsomniac35d ago (Edited 35d 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.

medman35d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger35d 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_Box36d 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.

robtion35d 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.

darthv7236d 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.

Agent7535d ago

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

S2Killinit35d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14936d ago

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

Lightning7736d 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.
