Why not just drop the price in stead, so the consumer can deside for him self what games to by and some peoples does not even need a second controller?

Some consumers only want the blu-ray player.

doshey6088d ago

well if that is the case then sony should just make a 500 unit coming with a hdmi cord 2 blu ray movies

ALI-G6088d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

PRICE CUT is what i am waiting for.
none of these two games interest me plus none of them support 2 players so why not cut the price instead of putting another controller
they should do what microsoft do in retailers , they sell console + games of your choice for certain amount £ so you chose the bumdle you want.plus what about the people who are not 18 yet ? or want to buy specfic game , they will have to throw another 40£.

Mr VideoGames6088d ago

this Console hasn't even been out that Long and it's already on its Second Starter pack, but even i have to Admit getting 2 Controllers and 2 games is a GREAT DEAL but thats not the Point why are they already trying to increase the Value of this Thing im sure when games come out people will Buy i mean i think people see the Value in it but no one wants one cause they don't have any Killer Apps or Good Titles on it Right now, and it doesn't Exactly make them look good right now when the start Bundling one of there Best Titles out right now "heavenly Sword" but i didn't like it but you know still doesn't look good

SonyDefenseForce6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

especially for the Game Title, getting it free is not a good way to say "this a killer Game" this might hurt the PS3 by telling Consumers the System isn't doing very we'll

Rageanitus6087d ago

They are still making a big loss on t he hardware itself when selling at this price.

astroboy2k56087d ago

Who cares what games you get in the bundle. If you dont like the games dont open them and return them for store credit.

QuackPot6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

They need to reduce those losses by keeping the price high.

They also need to get rid of old SKUs and replace them with the newly manufactured SKUs which hopefully have benefited from cheaper production costs. Least we forget that the rumble controller will be returning soon so they also need to get rid of all the non-rumble controllers.

This is merely the calm before the storm. Or preparing the ground for something big this Christmas. Price drop & Rumble? Fingers crossed.

This is turning into the Sega Saturn situation all over again!

edit: i should elaborate because some of you guys don't know how to look back into the past and see that Sega also offered games packaged with the Saturn as "value packs". That's all I was referring to; no negativity against the PS3's sales or anything like that.

Real Gambler6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

As the title said...

Mu5afir6087d ago

The Ps1 and Ps2 also had value packs, the 360 had value packs 6 months into it's life span. And if you do remember the Wii is essentially a value pack, since it comes with Wii Play already included.

Mattguy6088d ago

Putting resistance in the pack is what they should have done from the very start-nothing on the ps3 beats resistance(currently) And putting a second controller is smart because every one owning resistance has a buddy wanting to play co-op garunteed. They just have to make sure that they leave the normal non-starter pack ps3's out there because like many have already pointed out theres people who might just want the cheap blu-ray.

Mr VideoGames6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

My Grampa bought a PS3 just to watch movies on it lol

Real Gambler6087d ago

He said "nothing on the ps3 beats resistance(currently) " Not nothing on every consoles beat Resistance!!!!

Personally, Motorstorm is definitively up there as well with Resistance, so HS and Motorstorm may have been a better choice!...

Guess they had too many F1 on the shelf... : )

alexander22rednaxela6087d ago

Oblivion got higher scores than RestiFOM.

thereapersson6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

Uh, I read the article. I was mainly referring to the fact that the Saturn came with games packaged in with it as a "value pack" back in the day.

And 360 fanboy? Yeah, kind of hard to be one of those when the only next-gen system I own is the PS3...

edit: no problem d00d. Just like to keep things legit and real, ya know?

Real Gambler6087d ago

The fanboy comment was for the next fellow, not you! I edited it. Very stupid mistake, simply hit the wrong reply button.

Back to the subject, I'm not too keen either about "value pack" either, but was simply curious about the Sega Saturn comment. I believe pretty much every consoles ever sold had one "value pack" at least in their life, so I wasn't sure if you meant it was bad for Sega or not.

Curiously yours, and sorry again for the wrong comment!

Salvadore6087d ago

They should release a starterpacker with Warhawk with Rachet/clank.

ALI-G6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

because this will make the pack accessible by more people,

Salvadore6087d ago

You have 2 games, one accessible for children and another one accessible for the mature audience.

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.

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-ro41d ago

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

darthv7241d 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_41d ago

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

Cacabunga41d ago

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

Profchaos41d ago (Edited 41d 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

seanpitt2341d 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!

Iceball200041d ago

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

Father__Merrin41d ago

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

InUrFoxHole41d ago

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

Marcus Fenix41d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198941d ago

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

1Victor41d ago (Edited 41d 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 😱

Michiel198941d ago

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

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds544d ago (Edited 544d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno544d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya544d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020544d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds544d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya544d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman544d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran544d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
