MGS4 / Killzone 2 PS3 bundle available ... now

Engadget: As Sony shoves one more PlayStation 3 bundle down our throats while we anxiously await the appearance of a slimmed-down version of the console, we have to admit that the game choices here are really top shelf. After catching wind of the Killzone 2 / Metal Gear Sold 4 PS3 bundle yesterday, we now have all the confirmation we need to believe that such a bundle is indeed filtering out to Best Buy stores.

Stupid media. Sony hasn't even officially announce the PS3 slim and yet they're acting like it's already confirmed.

lociefer6182d ago

next up: new ps3 bundle sold out at gamestop

JustinSaneV26182d ago

The bundle is being sold by Best Buy, not GameStop.

StanLee6182d ago

I really hope there isn't a PS3 slim on the way. I really think the PS3 needs to find it's identity with the mass consumer and a new designed SKU will hurt that. But anyone on the fence about getting a PS3, there is no longer an excuse. Go out there and get the console. It is worth it. This bundle will sellout by the Wednesday.

NOOBKILLA6182d ago

I think Sony should have sold this same bundle for $299 and wait on the (rumored) PS3 Slim announcement. That would have really helped them!! People aren't asking for a smaller PS3, they want a cheaper PS3!!

Anon19746182d ago (Edited 6182d ago )

"As Sony shoves one more PlayStation 3 bundle down our throats,"
But please, tell us how you really feel. I guess it's simply too much to ask that these sites just stick to reporting information without their own biased spin. What was I thinking?
And anyway, the nerve of Sony. How dare they offer consumers choice. Why, they're practically forcing these on us at gunpoint.
Way to go, Engadget.

MazzingerZ6182d ago

If the rumour about the slim is true then this is a great opportunity to get your hands on the "original" model, great piece of HW with top notch components...very similar to when the Emotion Engine HW would be taken out the PS3, many didn't wait for a price drop but bought the 60 gigger at launch price and even today I have yet to meet someone that regrets it.

MEsoJD6181d ago

Gamestop sucks

I go to bestbuy.

Rainstorm816181d ago

you get MGS arguably one of the best cinematic games of this generation and current console graphics leader in KZ2 a great FPS.

Most aspiring PS3 owners probably want at least 1 or both of these games.

Sarcasm6181d ago

How is Sony "Shoving" anything down anybody's throat? It's not like I'm held at gun point by Kaz Hirai telling me to buy the PS3 bundle.

Sony is basically selling the PS3 for $310 and stupid websites like this is complaining about it?

I think they would rather prefer being ripped off for a $100 wi-fi and $100 60gb HDD instead, or a $50/yearly subscription.

Lifendz6181d ago

stories of Sony losing billions and billions; stories about Sony releasing a new Playstation home console within 1-2 years; stories about Sony cutting the price and releasing a new sku soon,....

care to add on?

For a console that's apparently doing so badly with gamers, it sure does seem like all the gaming sites make nothing but Sony news.

Doppy6181d ago

This is by far the best bundle for hardcore gamers wanting a PS3. The Little Big Planet bundle is the best for casual so hopefully gamers will pick one of these up seeing, how the games buy themselves equal nearly $100 (MGS4 is now $30 and LBP comes with a Blu Ray). So the game are your price cut until the PS3 slim if there is one (which i believe there is) comes outs (which looks like it'll have a $100 price cut).

I would jump on this in a heartbeat if it weren't for the possibility of a price drop and a slimmed down PS3. Time will tell if my gamble pays off.

Serg6182d ago

Uhm, the bundle is 399$, Metal Gear Solid 4 is 30$ (Amazon.com) and Killzone 2 is 50$ (Amazon.com), so the system is 320$. What are you waiting for? For Sony to drop it to 300$ WITHOUT games?

This bundle is a steal if you ask me. You get a PS3 and 2 of the best games this gen. Go for it before it's too late.

Syronicus6182d ago

Have not been paying attention. Heck, SonyStyle has had several offers for the PS3 as low as 250.00 USD. This is a great deal and anybody that passes it up because the price is not low enough is simply making up excuses.

dericb116182d ago

He is one of those silly people waiting for a "Rumor". Funny thing is that if the PS3 Slim comes out the miss features and lack of 2 AAA titles means you get screwed.

I hope this sales a lot so we can get KZ2 sales up and bring in new players. And for MGS4 maybe increase sales so much Kojima gives us some trophies.

JustinSaneV26181d ago (Edited 6181d ago )

The thing is I'm in no hurry what so ever to get a PS3 as long it remains as bulky as it is now. Knowing Sony THERE IS going to be a slimmer revamp down the line (PSX, PS2 Slim, PSP-2000/Go).

They also can't keep the console at $399/$499 forever. They're going to have to buckle at some point as that's just how technology works. I mean sure it's a great deal but then again having a slim PS3 would come in handy as it won't take up so much space in my entertainment center. Also, if Sony doesn't drop the price until next year or later and I decide not to get a PS3 until that moment then I'm sure Killzone 2 will be a Greatest Hit and MGS4 will be even cheaper.

Point being is that I'm perfectly content with the games for my PC for the time being. Sooner or later I'll get around to picking up the PS3 for its library of games but until my demands are met I'm not worried about it.

callahan096181d ago (Edited 6181d ago )

Will the PS3 slim actually cost less if they release one? Or will it be like the PSP Go, where it will cost more? My guess is the PS3 Slim will cost the same as the PS3 currently costs, and the PS3 models that exist today will get price drops.

Sarcasm6181d ago

Callahan has a point.

Although, Sony would just be shooting themselves in the foot again.

Why buy a (assuming) stripped version of the PS3 slim for $399 when you can buy a regular 80gb for $299 or this bundle that includes two hit games.

I hope Sony doesn't go that route of the PSPGo. They should just sell it for $299 and call it a day.

Absolutley frackin a right.

JustinSaneV26182d ago

I'm pretty sure we're far enough into this cycle to call in current-gen now.

But this is indeed probably the most BA bundle since Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt for the NES.

Man_of_the_year6182d ago

I agree. This is a very hardcore bundle. Had i not already owned a PS3 with these 2 games i sure as heck would now. +bubbles to Sony for this bundle. Smart move on their part if i do say so myself.

ColossiSlayer6182d ago (Edited 6182d ago )

Buy It. Play The Games Included. Only then will you understand what Play B3yond means...
To all haters of the PS3, actually play a game on the PS3, no wait just watch a friend play Warhawk, MotorStorm PR, Uncharted or MGO and tell me your not impressed. I find most haters have read negative things than actually played any of the impressive exclusives on the system.
But, this bundle is crazy, MGS one of the best 3rd person games of all time & KZ2 one of the best 1st person games of all time. Where do you go wrong?

morganfell6182d ago

Agreed. What a welcome to the PS2 world experience.

JustinSaneV26182d ago

Metal Gear Online would be more appealing if Konami would do something about all the glitching and hacking. Still a great game though.

Golfcoachh6182d ago

I am not sure anything will.

ultimolu6181d ago

If I didn't have a PS3 already, I'd be all over this one.

I already have two PS3s and I bought this one as a gift for an acquaintance that is ready to make the jump.

ColossiSlayer6182d ago

To purchase PS3s 3 off of watching me play MGS, 2 off watching me play Warhawk & the last off the PSEye video chat.

Konami Delists Some Metal Gear Games From Digital Stores Without Warning

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.

cloganart110d ago

I mean, it makes sense. With Vol.2 coming and all that

Commentby110d ago

Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.

jjb1981110d ago

If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."

gigoran8110d ago

Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"

Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"

computeSci110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

And? What is your point?

Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"

I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:

"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."

So again, what is your point?

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX594d ago (Edited 594d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne594d ago (Edited 594d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro594d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken594d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown594d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72594d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken594d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya594d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast594d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood594d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX824d ago (Edited 824d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro823d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72823d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_823d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga823d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos823d ago (Edited 823d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23823d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000824d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin824d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole823d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix823d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989823d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor823d ago (Edited 823d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel1989823d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
