PS3 'Pick N Mix' deal is no deal at all

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has this week rolled the covers off what appears (at first glance) to be a rather tempting 'Pick N Mix' retail deal that will see UK consumers able to snaffle the PlayStation 3 and two games for a total price of £349.99 GBP. Image credit: MNgilen.

Glad i got my 60gb For the same price back in september, doesn`t seem like a fantastic deal if the games are being moderated in the deal, If it comes with 2 controllers however that would be good savings. I`d be surprised if that wasn't the case to be honest as they must want to shift the excess Six-Axis Stock to make way for the Dual 3.

blusoops5940d ago

It doesn't say if this price is for the 40gb or 80gb.

actionjackson5940d ago

Also, not all retails sell at the prices Amazon do. If Sony is universally reducing the price to the level of Amazon's pricing, I'd be inclined to say it's a deal.

OMGz! SONY IS T3H LYIN, CHEATIN, STEALIN!!! j/k

This is as newsworthy as any of the bs bash-the-360 articles that have been posted recently.

Keep your comments in the comments section and not in the report section. Learn to read, fanboys.

titntin5940d ago

Jeez.. you really are a prime example of the kind of jerk who's destroying this place - from both sides of the infantile trench war.
360 news, PS3 news, who gives stuff! This place is news for gamers, not news for Bill's lover Boys, or Sony's little helpers. Grow up!

This story should not have been approved for several reasons:

1 The title has been modified from the original title to try and encourage exactly the infintile behaviour and response we can see above.

2. Its old news. The report is all about the announcement of the Sony Bundle deal which has already been widely reported.

3 The opinion expressed in the last paragraph is lame. I'll quote the reply I left on the website:
Your point about being able to pick up a similar deal by shopping with Amazon is a weak point. Amazon has always sold the latest games at £32 instead of the £45 most retail shops charge - thats the whole point of being a discount online retailer!
The fact is, that now anyone can walk into their favourite high street retail store, like Woolworths or Dixons etc, and pick up a PS3 and 2 premium games at the same discount price as the cheapest and best online deal available.

Only trully ignorant BS fanboys of the worst kind would try and represent a decent bundle announcement as bad news.. its quite pathetic.

InMyOpinion5940d ago

You are completely right. It was a silly comment. It was meant to be.

The article is not old; "By Stevie Smith Jan 14, 2008, 13:44 GMT". There might have been other articles touching on the same subject but that's not how things work here. If the article is unique it's supposed to get approved.

I didn't see you complain on the fake news about "Xbox 360 Repair Breaks Downloaded Content" - http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

SilPho5940d ago

@Blusoops: This will be the 40GB model because we only have that one for retail in the UK, we've never had the 80GB, only the 60GB and 40GB.

I think I hit the sweet spot for PS3 buying last October. Just after the price drop and before the 60GB's were as rare as Wiis. That was the same price as this and it came with the two games AND two blu-ray movies. That's what I call a deal.

This is only a deal when you don't look at Amazon. (At least it's not more expensive than buying separately and they are 1st party titles)

urban bohemian5940d ago

I got my PS3 on release day and only had motorstorm and resistance to play with for ages and I'd paid a stupid amount! Why can't I see into the future?!

DolphGB5940d ago

This 'article' compares the RETAIL price of the deal against DISCOUNTED prices at retailers. Not a very fair comparison.

If you compare retail price with retail price, this is a good deal. And I'm sure that someone like GAME will go ahead and discount it further if they can, so it could turn out to be even cheaper still for UK buyers.

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."

UC 2, 4, 3 and 1. Great read and article

ABizzel1997d ago

No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.

UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita

Levii_92997d ago (Edited 997d ago )

Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.

Inverno997d ago

U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.

DFresh997d ago (Edited 997d ago )

I'd rate it as the following.

1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)

2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)

3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)

4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)

NecrumOddBoy997d ago

I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.

Michiel1989997d ago

uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.

medman997d ago (Edited 997d ago )

I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.

brando008996d ago

I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.

Gardenia997d ago

Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.

Ninver997d ago

Yeah all of a sudden I've got that Uncharted itch.

Michiel1989997d ago

is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?
