According to leaked photos of a new bundle being prepared for sale at Best Buy, Sony appears to be wanting to clear out current 80GB PS3 inventory, perhaps in anticipation of the launch of the oft-rumored PS3 Slim.
The new bundle will include the A-list PS3-exclusive games Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4 and the 80GB system will cost $399, just like the console without the bundled games. The deal is pretty good as Killzone retails still for $50-60 USD and still brings in $30-40 USD used on auction sites such as eBay.
Employees of the retail chain say the bundle will become available this Sunday.
It is widely expected that Sony will drop the price of the console by $100 USD in August while at the same time releasing the 120GB 'PS3 Slim' to replace the phased out 80GB model.
