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.

showtimefolks4182d 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

TheHomerPimpson4181d 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.

lilbrat234181d ago

I wonder what stores will be offering this deal?

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF4182d 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?

Hoje03084182d 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?

Welshy4182d 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.

MysticStrummer4181d 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.

medziarz4181d ago

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

Welshy4182d 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! =)

attilayavuzer4181d ago

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

Snookies124181d ago (Edited 4181d 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.

Ayabrea1234181d 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

medziarz4181d ago

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

FamilyGuy4181d 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.

HammadTheBeast4182d 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.

HaVoK3084182d ago

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

Snookies124181d 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. :]

dbjj120884180d ago

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

AzaziL4181d ago

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

GarandShooter4181d 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-FuzzyPants4182d 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.

homer4182d ago

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

Capt-FuzzyPants4182d ago

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

homer4181d 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.

bratman4181d 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 (:

HandyKapz4182d ago

lol if that happens i smell zergrush

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

Odd this and the xillia games still haven't gotten remasters yet.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil1d 8h ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai1d 2h ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing6912h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle11h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal11h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

Abnor_Mal7h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing110h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
