Wow. If I didn't have a PS3/PS4 I'd jump all over that. Sony is competing with itself still pushing the PS3, may even take away sells from PS4 lol. They don't care it all goes in one pot.

Xof3799d ago

May take sales away from the PS4? The PS3 is definitely taking sales away from the PS4. Sony really shot themselves in the foot by stripping the PS4 of a lot of the functionality the PS3 has.

Honestly, if I were to buy a brand new console today, and had all of the latest and greatest options, I'd go with a PS3.

lategamer3798d ago

You may buy a PS3 today, but if you like the great games (Last of Us, Uncharted, inFAMOUS, etc.) and the service (Playstation Plus) your going to eventually buy a PS4.

And that's fine. Right now Sony makes a profit on every PS3 sold.

In the end, there still selling consoles, making money, and gaining customers.

And that is the direct opposite of "shooting themselves in the foot."

PS4 will sell well, better than Wii U and X1 this holiday season. Chances are it'll be sold out everywhere.

TheEnigma3133799d ago

That ps3 bundle is a steal. I should buy it just because.

MadLad3799d ago

Grabbing my first PS3 come Black Friday. The deal listed seems to be the one available at all stores. Don't really care to try Origins, considering I am not a fan of the Arkam series, personally, so I will probably throw that one to a friend.
Want to try the Last of Us though, so it is still a very good deal for me either way.

Clover9043799d ago

The last of us is amazing. No surprise coming from Naughty Dog, but I wasn't expecting much from multiplayer. I was shocked by how much fun the multiplayer was. It's a completely unique experience. Amazing game. Can't wait for the Left Behind dlc.

ipach3799d ago (Edited 3799d ago )

yeah multiplayer is a real challenge. but really fresh and tense. but i am sooo bad at it... it's the only thing keeping me from that darn platinum!

Clover9043799d ago

@ipach just remember to always pick the hardest challenges first, because even if you don't meet the requirements you don't lose 100% of your survivors. Save the easy stuff for the 100% risk challenges.

@Salp

Trade it in, and pick up some PS3 exclusives with the Trade-on credit from GameStop who are doing Buy 2 Get 1 free.

A year of PS+ is also $29.99 at GameStop on BF.

The best deal for the Vita is eBay for $149.99 new on BF.

MadLad3799d ago

Thanks for the advice, though I will probably still throw it to my friend. He is actually a huge fan of the series, though has yet to grab the new game.
I do plan on grabbing PS+ though. It seems silly not to.

I was just about to to get another year of PS+. I'm glad I saw this. Might get 2 years now.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast75d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs72d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast72d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs71d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast71d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer75d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6975d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs72d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6972d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The best Batman Arkham game still isn’t on PS5, and that’s a problem

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is almost here, but I can't revisit the best Arkhamverse game on PS5 without sacrificing quality.

Not a fan of Orgins. Blame it on the absence of Conroy & Hamill. Blame it on the lack of atmosphere compared to Asylm. Hell blame it the devs thst dicked over Wii U owners like me that purchased the game only for support be dropped as a thank you to me. It's better than Knight but that's not saying much. I don't care for that entry either.

Rebel_Scum93d ago

tbh buying a game like that for WiiU should’ve been an obvious non-purchase when it existed on better hardware.

Cacabunga93d ago

Origins is amazing..
my favorite Batman is Batman and Robin on mega drive.. an HD REMASTER of that would still look glorious

ZeekQuattro93d ago

I got it launch. Kinda hard to go back. I'm supposed to know they were going to drop support months after the fact. 🤣

Exvalos93d ago

You sound like a salty fanboy, that it didn't come to your precious plastic of choice. It's not the developers fault Nintendo continues making underpowered hardware. It's our fault because we keep buying it. Yes I say (we) I'm part of the problem as well.

ZeekQuattro93d ago

I have a PS3 and a Wii U. How was I a salty fanboy? I bought the game on the system I wanted it for.

Rebel_Scum93d ago

Nah my comment has nothing to do with whether you’d know or not that they’d drop support.

Buying any AAA game of that era for a WiiU you should’ve known you’d be sacrificing graphics and load times.

LucasRuinedChildhood94d ago

It's solid but Origins is definitely not the best Arkham game.

LoveSpuds93d ago

Smacks of hyperbole to me, talk about clutching at straws to create some drama around PS5!!

generic-user-name93d ago

Titles like these are designed to get you to come in, go to their comment section and tell them how they're so wrong so they can boost their numbers.

Phoenix7693d ago

Even though its not the best arkham game in the series, its still an enjoyable game in its own right. What it do really well at though, was the crime investigations scenes. Which imo, were the best of the franchise.

goldwyncq93d ago

I don’t know about best game but it definitely has the best story and boss fights.

boing193d ago

Never played it and recently I've finally tried it via cloud on psn. It's not the best for sure, but it ain't bad either.
