Don't you dare make me go out on Black Friday for this... Because I will...

I may already have a perfectly working PS3, but this would be too good to pass up.

showtimefolks4209d ago

I think this deal is legit because ts been posted on cheapassgamer.com for over a month. So this deal leaked but I think it's happening and geat for those who hae waited

TheHomerPimpson4209d ago

This deal is legit. My store just got them in last week...not a bad deal, five good games and a PS3 for that price.

lilbrat234209d ago

I wonder what stores will be offering this deal?

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4209d ago

So like how RRoD made the same people buy a 360 allegedly... does this hold true for PS3 guys that buy more than one PS3 just because?

Honest question. Ready for the barrage of disagrees on the home planet... but wouldn't this be pretty much the same type of thing, sans breakage?

Hoje03084209d ago

How is buying a new PS3 simply because there's a good deal on one in any way similar to feeling forced to buy a new 360 because MS failed to properly test the unit before mass production took place?

Welshy4209d ago

This ^^^^^^ took the words out my mouth.

Being FORCED to buy another 360 because your original broke isn't a choice. Seeing a really good deal and picking up another console, be it PS3 or 360, because a really good deal and you can put it in another room for movies etc IS a choice and i see no problem with it.

Hell i have a PS3 and 360 in my room and another PS3 in the living room for blurays and Netflix, it's not uncommon anymore.

MysticStrummer4209d ago

"Honest question"

Ok, so you honestly asked a completely ridiculous question. I can respect that.

Seriously, the "breakage" part is a major differentiating factor, no?

Also, I know multiple people who bought multiple 360s due to the faulty design caused by MS's desire to get to market early. Luckily for MS, many people are stupid.

medziarz4208d ago

yep, looks like Sony's gonna make a killing this season after all, or at least stand its ground

Welshy4209d ago

That's an epic deal, right in time for those xmas blurays and split screen games with family.

Not to mention great exclusives like The Last Of Us, Beyond: Two Souls and God Of War on top of the epic multiplatforms that are rolling out these past few weeks.

You'd be mental to pass this up if you don't own one already or just need a model/HDD upgrade! =)

attilayavuzer4209d ago

Haha yeah looks like it's time to finally pick up a PS3. Can finally claim console objectivity

Snookies124209d ago (Edited 4209d ago )

Lol, which is definitely a good thing! They each have their own strengths and weaknesses of course, but to truly know which you prefer can only be done when you've had a good amount of time with each to form a good opinion.

Ayabrea1234209d ago

Remember that dumb article some stupid bias fanboy saying "Sony is not doing anything for the holidays and that Nintendo and Microsoft is better" and it was about the super slim not being cheaper than the regular slim. I wish I could go back on that page an link this article so that idiot can stfu. Everyone loves to talk stuff about Sony and throw arrogance and pride all over a conversation when it comes to them.... But what arrogant prideful company cones out with a holiday bundle with 5 games which if you count all the games on the disk, equally exceed over 10+ games and a 250gb console for $200? Didn't think so? Microsoft has a $99 Xbox with 2 games and a credit check... Nintendo has either the Wii or the Wii U which only one comes with 1 free game. Sony gives you 5 and they're still arrogant. People are idiots and this is an awesome deal. Any one is stupid to not take advantage of this if they don't have a ps3

medziarz4208d ago

yep, it's the first thing that came to my mind

FamilyGuy4208d ago

Looks like that might be a walmart ad, a $200 PS3 would be a great deal in its own right but being packaged with two of the PS3s top franchises is great and a great introduction to being a PS3 owner.

"Door Busters" come in very limited quantities though, hopefully there's a permanent price drop to $200 on that 250Gb Super Slim right after the holiday season though, I expect $229 as Sony doesn't like to drop so much at once. They'll make their sales for Christmas then drop the price slightly to keep the sales going after.

Wow, amazing deal. I already have a PS3, but it might be time to upgrade, especially since I don't have many of those games.

HammadTheBeast4209d ago

Supposedly a Slim PS3 (New One) with SSX, Need for Speed, and PS+ will also be announced. If you're looking for an upgrade, amazing deal right there.

HaVoK3084209d ago

You must have an odd definition for the word "upgrade".

Snookies124209d ago

@HaVoK308 - Why is that an odd definition? Some people might want a Slim model as opposed to a Fat one. I like the earlier model better myself, but it's all about opinion. :]

dbjj120884208d ago

Holy crap. That is a great deal. So much multiplayer goodness....

AzaziL4209d ago

You can buy both game collections for $30 a piece and $80 for a 500GB HDD.

GarandShooter4209d ago

That equals $140 so you're basically getting a PS3 for $60. Has there ever been a bigger steal of a deal in gaming?

Capt-FuzzyPants4209d ago

5X60=300. I know those games aren't full price anyway, but they were at one point, but its with a console with a big hard drive. That's an insane deal.

homer4209d ago

Infamous FoB was never 60 dollars. In fact, I got it in the October sale for $2.50

Capt-FuzzyPants4209d ago

I knew that, I just didn't feel like typing it and thought everyone would get what I was saying anyway.

homer4209d ago

What you said was wrong though. I have never seen anyone try so hard to skew numbers. I don't even really understand why you would try to skew the numbers. Infamous Collection= 30 bucks maybe 40 in some places. UC dual pack = 20 or 30 depending on where and when you buy it. At most, you save 70 bucks.(plus whatever the hardware discount is) I bet you could find them for cheaper if you bought them individually too. What do you hope to accomplish by skewing the sale so bad? Please tell me. You have piqued my interest.

bratman4209d ago

think what cpt.fuzzypants means was each game released at 59.99 at one point other then festival of blood.. and that its an insane deal cause the games are all very well received and cause of all the stuff thats included in this bundle (:

HandyKapz4209d ago

lol if that happens i smell zergrush

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow4d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1823d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie3d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere2d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX3d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney1d 23h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno3d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno3d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno2d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
