might be a better use just to get a ps4 instead, phatty works great and those games will be cheap soon, gah.

May be hard to get a PS4 unless you try hard but I would say jump in! You definitely need to experience TLOU down the line though.

Oh right, I forgot it also included Festival of Blood. Amazing bundle. Between those 5 free games and all the titles Sony gave me with PS+, I didn't spend much on PSN this year except for some smaller games like Journey.

Probably not the two together at that price, but KH 1.5 HD will be $20 at GS.

any idea if the one of ebay is region locked? by region locked i mean can i buy the deal out of USA? I really really want to get a PS3 but amazon doesn't ship here and the one that is sold in my country still costs 500 bucks

I'm so torn about the Vita. I want to wait for the 2000, but these are really good prices.

The memory cards don't make a difference for me, since I already have a 32 GB one.

I have about $200 in Amazon gift cards, but I'd rather put that on the PS4. Still, it's a nice deal for anyone that doesn't have a PS3 yet.

Does it make sense? Sure. I suppose.

If you haven't played any of the big PS3 titles, a $200 system is a good deal. Then you can get used copies of the games you haven't played, so you can maximize your spending.

I doubt whoever selling it (most likely Rakuten/Buy.com) is going to ship internationally. You might just want to find someone willing to help out.

I'm interested in the last of us and uncharted and maybe mgs4.

Yes it is. for what it brings and price, its a worthy buy. It has great games to play. 360 was abandoned by M$ like this early year. SONY is still bringing a lot of good games in the future on the PS3

I know its insane. If anything the last two years have convinced me to go PS4 as well.

Hats off to Sony, they do not abandon their consumers.

I'm tempted, but if I really just want to get PS3 for P5 and TLOU, I'd wait for next year's BF deals. Probably $150 for PS3 then.

I don't want to wait that long.

The sale is up on Kmart right now, but not in my state.

I've been trying to put it on store-pickup an pay in store so I can try to price match at Best Buy. No such luck so far.

There is a $150 PS3 deal this year for the 12GB super slim model and no games.

I got an email a couple hours ago saying it was cancelled or something, now I just got an email that it's shipping and it'll probably be here tomorrow.

...I'm pretty confused.

I got the same set of e-mails. I got a tracking number for it and the charge is pending on my credit card, so I'm assuming everything is set.

I checked and I got that email too. But they still shipped the order anyway.

This means this bundle going up early was indeed a mistake.

Checked my bank account, looks like the transaction is still pending, so I guess everything is good.

I hope I get it tomorrow so I can play TLOU all tomorrow night. Too busy on Wednesday.

The wait is over! I might take a chance on a ps3 :) Seriously, I was happy with the 360 last gen, but this just seems like a good deal. Still have the 360 and got a Wii U a month ago. I know The Last of Us interests me as does Demons Souls (big Dark Souls fan) and the Uncharted series... But what are some other good exclusives for the system? I'm not really into Killzone and I would only use this for exclusives.

The cardboard sleeves the games come in are really cheap. It's a postcard sized sleeve with a slit on the top. I would have at least preferred the kind of fold-out cardboard sleeve Wii Sports came in.

I'm about to get one of these bundles...I finally get to play LoU, Demon Souls, Ni no kuni and all the other ps3 exclusives I missed by going 360 this whole gen.

Quick question about the ps3, I think I remember reading that I can just unhook my ps4 and use the same cords for the ps3, can anyone confirm this?

When I went to look for The Last of Us online pass I found a nice surprise that makes this bundle an even better value. Even though it's not advertised on the box it comes with the Deathstroke pre-order dlc for Arkham Origins and also PS+ 30 days.

If it's like last year's bundle, the 30 days wont stack.

The 12GB is $149 as well btw.

Decent entry level price, especially if you have a spare HD sitting around.
