What article did you read?

Doesnt matter, spammer is gone now ;)

I'm gonna go ahead and say this will not be available here in the U.K.!.

Since we never get anything worth for our hard earned money !
Be grateful you Americans.

And my ps3 is broke right now (Blinking Re LIghts Problem)so really hoping this "PSThree Slim" IS real! ~prays~
Should be good, but from the leaked photos i've seen so far, its not exactly the easiest thing on the eye, but that may be just a model.
Fingers crossed ey =]

WTF?

That's like the greatest bundle ever lol

I payed like ~$45 for MGS4 and ~$65 for Killzone (but they actually worth monies). It even has the dual shock controller in which I still don't have :P

Holy crap that's a great deal. $400 gets you a PS3 and practically, 2 free games. Just alone, the PS3 is $400.

Great deal. I'm just surprised that they would bundle 2 "Mature" rated games. Generally translates in isolation of a customer base. Although it may end up being small, it's still a number. Without knowing all of the facts, up front, it doesn't seem like the best marketing strategy.

It could be looked at two ways I suppose.

1.) They understand that parents these days don't give a rats ass about the game ratings and employee's never enforce them anyway.

2.) They're targeting 18+ gamers because they know that there is a significantly smaller demographic of kids on the ps3 compared to the other consoles anyway.

Looks like this deal comes with two of the games you'd be buying a PS3 for to begin with. I'm sure this will get some of the xbox360 crowd that kind of wanted to play these games, but didn't want to spend $400 on the system and $120 on two games. $400 vs $520 is a nice little price savings.

Needs a cooler cover :P

Anyways, this is a pretty good decision Sony is making here. A nice way (that I am SURE will attract many people) to clear out their old inventory, in order for the new to come in.. so this leaves some with the question. Would they rather have the big PS3 with two games for 400 bucks, or a small PS3 with no games for 300 bucks.

Believe it or not but I don't think the rest of the world really knows about the ps3 slim. So they'll ignorantly buy the 80gb thinking "aww, kick ass deal with two kick ass games." But then months later be like, "aww shit, I bought this buss and now I gotta get me the new convertible ps3." Because not everyone is in the sony ps loop.

I was thinking the same thing.

I bet the slim won't come with these crazy games... People buying the slim will feel like they're buying an all show no go car while the 80GB bundle is a true sleeper :P

Who cares about what the console looks like, it's all about the price and the games. If the slim is $300 this bundle is still a better deal if you like these games cause they are actual worthwhile games.

Looks like they are also releasing (for $400 as well) a bundle for minors with Little Big Planet and Wall-e..

That's a pretty good bundle too :)

Well this seem like a good way to move those consoles before they release the slim PS3.

This is the best buy on the market.

i agree with u on this one. in the pal reigons they think we dont give a s**t as they give us less but for higher prices. like in the 60gb model when the ntsc ps3s had full backwards compat. the day they bring this feature back is the day i will seriously consider buying one. remember the most played console in the world is still the ps2.

yeah but the ps3 60gb is well better than the 80gb. id rather buy a 2nd hand off of ebay. i found one from a trusted associate with 10 games play tv, 4 controllers and the rest of the works for bout $500-$600 (i work in £. £360 to be exact).
