Another PS3 bundle right before this rumored announcement of the PS4? I guess it will sell because it's white...

It's certainly the only reason to buy this bundle. Some people just love white consoles (as opposed to the black look that's dominated this generation's market.

blitz06234117d ago (Edited 4117d ago )

I would certainly consider it, but then again it's $300. It's not expensive, but I sure as heck don't need 500GB when I can't even fill up my 80GB BC phat.

I really think it was a mistake not dropping the price of the ps3 and instead just increasing the hard drive space and adding bonuses in the bundles. I would definitely have bought a new PS3 for $200 that doesn't come with anything else.

ZBlacktt4117d ago

You are aware the best selling game console of all time the PS2 is still being sold right?

UnholyLight4117d ago

How is that racist. YOU ARE STUPID, I believe he meant because they PS3 has always been black, that having a "special edition" in white will have people running for it.

Fkin idiots. Talking about you @Greyslash

Greyslash4117d ago

It was a joke? Jesus, get the stick out of you ass and learn to laugh a little. Don't take everything so seriously.

kingjoker344117d ago

AznGaara4117d ago

is that a joke?

Because you cant actually see it....

profgerbik4117d ago

@omi25p Are you joking?

You should get a better TV, Monitor or get your eyes checked because I can see it perfectly.

omi25p4116d ago

yes because a white square on a white background is just so clear.

relax, it was a joke :D jokes all around us, you joke I joke! everybody is joking!

On topic.. I had Silver PS2, If something happens to my original fat 60 gig ps3, I will be thinking to buy a white one.. that's if ps4 is not over the horizon...

ftwrthtx4118d ago

Nice looking PS3 but I'm not a fan of the new model.

BringingTheThunder4118d ago

it looks ok. i could just do without top loading.

ftwrthtx4117d ago

It's definitely a cheaper build, and I understand the thought process behind it, but I prefer my launch 60GB and my PS3 slim. Both seem to be better built.

Ryo-Hazuki4118d ago

They need to bring over the 12 GB PS3 from Europe so they can match the cheapest price of the 360 instead of bringing over a model that's $300.

nevin14118d ago

Do you think the 4GB 360 model outsells the higher price 360?

Ryo-Hazuki4118d ago

yes. The majority of people who buy consoles this late in the generation are casuals. No matter if they are getting a good deal or not... entry price matters to them.

UnholyLight4117d ago

I can't believe anyone would be RETARDED enough to buy a 4gb. We have lived in a society long enough with iPods and iPads and game consoles to know that 4Gb means you literally have MAYBE 3Gb of space actually on the console. Which means you would likely not be able to download ANYTHING.

Seriously, even if you're a casual, you're obviously stupid to buy something like this, especially when it's like $100 more for 50x the storage

profgerbik4117d ago (Edited 4117d ago )

Hi Ryo, I love your games. I still play Shenmue.

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."

CrimsonWing693h 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.

Profchaos16m ago(Edited 13m 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

Tacoboto8h 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).
