New PS3 starter pack unveiled

The new pack includes the 60Gb PS3, two Sixaxis controllers, Resistance: Fall of Man, MotorStorm and new addition Heavenly Sword, which made its debut on the charts this week at number seven.

Lightning Mr Bubbles6325d ago

PS3 should of had these games at launch.

Vavoom6325d ago

I thought the 60 gig was phasing out. How can they make a starter pack with a SKU that they plan on no longer carrying. Or were they just saying they were phasing it out to scare people into buying right away.

If so, that's some sneaky stuff.

xplosneer6325d ago

The 60GB was only canceled in USA, this is Europe only offer.

SonySoldiers6325d ago

Even without a price drop, the PS3's value has once again increased by this new pack.

nasim6325d ago

PS3 is already outselling x360 by huge margins 3:1 in EU. These starter packs would increase the margin further.

BTW dont bring up vgcharts FALSE NUMBERS to refute my claim

Here is PS3 vs X360 in EU

HMV ---UK's biggest retailer (accounts for 40% of UK's totalVDO game sales)

3 different genre .. this will ROCK!!! on Xmas..

Beowulf286325d ago

now lets see the price! this could very well get alot of people to wabt ps3's.

CyberSentinel6325d ago

Good deal, but for that price, they sure look desperate.

Violater6325d ago

cant catch a break , first its a ripoff and too expensive,
Now they look desperate??

The Brave 16325d ago

AMAZING!people complain that the ps3 is expensive which in my opinion is false.but they also complain or have something negative to say even when sony adds value to the product.sony is about 5.5 million units from the X360.all this without much marketing and only being out in europe for 5 months.Not to mention that they have not even hit $399 which is how x360 started.AAA games are starting to poor in.HS,Lair(i like it)and warhawk got it started.2007 is pure gravy the rest of the way. And dont get me started on 2008 .A beast is aproaching gentlemen(and ladies)and there is no way to stop it!!!!!!!

lawman11086324d ago

That is $571.00 US dollars......even with games THAT wont help sales that much and that is before tax so your still way over $600 bucks.

Dannagar6325d ago

That's a pretty good if the price is right.

It’s Time for Sony to Bring Back Killzone and Resistance

Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.

shinoff2183222d ago

I'd rather them focus on a rpg. Shooters can wait

just_looken222d ago

We have alot of rpg's but only cod for a AAA first person shooter unless you toss in xdefient but that is still fixing 2yr old beta issues.

We need more AAA fps games then rpg's

shinoff2183222d ago

Yea right. Theirs so many shooters on the market.

just_looken221d ago

@shin

Name 3 AAA fps games coming out this year

Cacabunga221d ago

I want Killzone yea, but as a gaas no buy!

Cacabunga221d ago

Yes we need some new FPS experiences.. COD is just not engaging enough. We want a Killzone back to the roots, not a Shadow Fall again..

Crows90222d ago

There's tons of RPG in the market too...what's your point exactly.

RaidenBlack221d ago

No Killzone or Resistance or Factions for you ... only Concord & FairGame$

Ironmike222d ago

No more rpg for a while would love a new resistance though

DarXyde222d ago

Agree on preferring RPGs though at this exact moment, it would be great to see more horror games. Another reason why Japan Studio closing is just tragic. Loved Siren.

just_looken221d ago (Edited 221d ago )

Fuck jim ryan japan studio did so much and helped alot with ports/localization

If they were around bloodborn would be possible like how they helped with demon souls ps4 finial fantasy port.

Horror games would be nice but the jim ryan axe job helped alot in killing playstation dev numbers/freedom and increased regulation with the new censorship crap.

1Victor221d ago

If Sony is bringing back a old shooter I would prefer Warhawk or better yet Starhawk

Rynxie221d ago

No thanks. Resistance and killzone were my all time favorite fps games. I completely dominated those games. I met good people, had a ton of fun and have a lot of fond memories. I don't want them to bring back these games, unless they tackle the cheating epidemic. I know I will absolutely hate these games, if I was to play them now, with all the effing cheating going on in fps games.

Psychonaut85221d ago

Bro the market is oversaturated with quality RPGs AND bloated shitty RPGs already.

Inverno222d ago

I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.

just_looken222d ago (Edited 222d ago )

Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012

Good-Smurf222d ago

Both of those games are either made by smaller B team or completely different developer.
Killzone Mercenary developed by Guerilla Cambridge which is now defunct.
Resistamce Burning Skies wasn't made by Insomniac but by Nihilistic Software also defunct after the failure of CoD Black Ops Declassified.

just_looken221d ago

@good i know i never said they were

I mentioned them as they were the last games under that ip well killzone was last on ps4 but still even though they are different devs they led to the lose of the ip.

I highly doubt they made up for there budget cost even killzone on ps4 had low sales for such a large ip at the time.

shinoff2183222d ago

Infamous should atleast get remastered. I'd be cool with that

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH222d ago

Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.

JEECE222d ago

Except Resistance 1 and 3 were far more similar, 2 was the outlier. 3 was a great return to form after 2 changed so many things from the first game.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH222d ago

I didn’t like 3 and I didn’t find it similar to the first game.

Moegooner222d ago

2 was the best resistance game.

Michiel1989221d ago

agreed, the co-op was my fav in 2

Michiel1989221d ago

I'll keep saying it, have Bungie make a new resistance game, a match made in heaven. Although I imagine Bungie would be too proud to take over an existing IP.

Huey_My_D_Long222d ago

I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.

InUrFoxHole221d ago

Liked KZ more but both those games are better than MAG

Huey_My_D_Long221d ago

Facts.
Since I'm down memory lane, I also wish for remaster of Warhawk.

P_Bomb222d ago

I’ve been barking up that tree for years. 😢

OtterX221d ago

Keep barking, boy! Keep barking! Never give up hope. ;)

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-ro311d ago

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

darthv72311d 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_311d ago

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

Cacabunga311d ago

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

Profchaos311d ago (Edited 311d 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

seanpitt23311d 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!

Iceball2000311d ago

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

Father__Merrin311d ago

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

InUrFoxHole311d ago

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

Marcus Fenix311d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989311d ago

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

1Victor311d ago (Edited 311d 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 😱

Michiel1989311d ago

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