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.

showtimefolks4190d 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

TheHomerPimpson4190d 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.

lilbrat234190d ago

I wonder what stores will be offering this deal?

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4190d 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?

Hoje03084190d 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?

Welshy4190d 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.

MysticStrummer4190d 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.

medziarz4189d ago

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

Welshy4190d 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! =)

attilayavuzer4190d ago

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

Snookies124190d ago (Edited 4190d 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.

Ayabrea1234190d 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

medziarz4189d ago

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

FamilyGuy4189d 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.

HammadTheBeast4190d 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.

HaVoK3084190d ago

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

Snookies124190d 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. :]

dbjj120884189d ago

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

AzaziL4190d ago

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

GarandShooter4190d 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-FuzzyPants4190d 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.

homer4190d ago

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

Capt-FuzzyPants4190d ago

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

homer4190d 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.

bratman4190d 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 (:

HandyKapz4190d ago

lol if that happens i smell zergrush

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing694h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker3h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing693h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos34m ago(Edited 31m ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos9h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto9h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger888h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
