Same here, i already decided im buying a psp and was thinking of the daxter bundle, but the GOW bundle looks sooooooooo stupidly sexy that i may have to wait. A stupidly long wait at that.. *sigh*

PS3s don't normally include a DS3???

I'm pretty much sold. Time will stop for me once MGS4 comes out. I had no intention of spending $$$$ to play it, but this sounds like a nice bundle that won't be beat until November anyways.

Is there anything that the 80GB model is missing? ...besides 40 GB?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the PS3 is bluetooth-enabled, right? So I can use any bluetooth headsets?

Yes, it is bluetooth enabled. 80GB has everything the 60GB did except it uses partial software PS2 emulation.

WAIT WAIT WAIT

The "Sixaxis" isn't the DS3?? What's the difference?

edit - kagari, thanks

 

[Socreges]

It rumbles...

Ok that's another revelation -- the Sixaxis didn't even rumble... had no idea, yet I've used it plenty before.

Yeah, this bundle will have the ever awesome DualShock 3, which does rumble

Well yeah and the bullshit thing above all things bullshit is that the fucking controller will cost 55 fucking Dollars. How much more bullshit can that be!?!?!

 

[Mister E]

I'm way late to this, but I just made the connection of MGS4s subtitle and it made me laugh :lol

huh?

 

[SOLDIER]

usually you pay a website money before you advertise on their site.

just sayin

Uh....what? I work at the site as a reviewer and occasional news poster. This post was my first of the latter. I really don't get what you're saying.

 

[Chemo]

So much bullshit that... it's the best deal on the market for controllers?! :O

Wii Remote + Nunchuk - $60 (plus whatever you spend on batteries)
Xbox 360 Wireless Controller + Play and Charge Kit - $70
PlayStation 3 Dual Shock 3 - $55

Why don't we cry about it.

Not just rumble, AWESOME RUMBLE.

That is still rape even on other ones. Fucking controllers should not cost that much.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Yeah, controller prices this gen are absurd.

 

[Chemo]

That is still rape even on other ones. Fucking controllers should not cost that much.

And why not? The controllers this generation do quite a bit more than the controllers last generation did. More expensive controller is more expensive. Go figure.

 

[Kittonwy]

That's how they basically make up their margin now that they can't sell you memory cards, especially when both the console itself and games cost more to make.

 

[suzu]

oh my god... that PS3 bundle is loveeee. <3

 

[Elbrain]

Yeah it's bad move on their part man. I would have bought 2 or 3 more controllers if they were back on the old price range or 30-40 dollars but now no way.

 

[mYm|17|]

guess its time to get a PS3, mostly for the blu-ray but actually looking forward to some of the games coming out.

considering i don't have any PS2 or PS1 games, is it better to just get a 40GB PS3 or get this 80GB MGS4 bundle?

 

[sakuragi]

Yup, past generation controllers do not have wireless or blue tooth. Plus don't forget about inflation.

 

[JaCy]

That PSP is gorgeous, I would so buy it if it didn't have Kratos on it.

because people like to bitch about anything these days.

If you don't care about PS1/2 games, save the $100 and get the 40GB.

 

[hitmon]

That red psp is soooo sexy.

 

[kay]

The official box art is GLORIOUS

and I mean the one for the game, not the bundle

 

[alu]

Perfect! Sold my PS3 couple of months ago, and MGS4 is most definately the killerapp that I'd like to play.

 

[Elbrain]

That red psp is soooo sexy.

My man that shit is really smex! I am even pondering real hard on whether to buy it or not.

 

[kay]

Can we not post box arts from magazines? It isn't a screenshot.. oh well, if someone wants to see it, message me. Or if you are smart, go to where all my images are stored

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

Definitely gonna take the plunge once this PS3 bundle is released. I was already on the fence, but this gives me that push that i've been waiting for. Can't wait til June

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I am happy to bee here! HOTNESS withthe bundles!!

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

This man speaks the truth. The boxart looks sick!

 

[Kagari]

What?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Are we still allowed to post the covers (and backs) of magazines?

 

[kay]

Supposedly. Don't see why not, those are free to view.

 

[CrushDance]

Ugh. Is that for Japan only? Kind of ugly IMO, this would have been better:

Or this

Or this

 

[Loudninja]

Ugh. Is that for Japan only? Kind of ugly IMO, this would have been better:

What makes you think thats the final boxart?

 

[rikichi]

Huh?

Where?

 

[CrushDance]

What makes you think thats the final boxart?

It's a fanmade one. But totally better than the current one circulating around, I really hope that one is Japan only :S

 

[kay]

No way... that doesn't match at all. Although the official one does remind me of Killzone 2. But it's SIMPLE (important I think) and classy.

 

[Fady K]

You know a thread is epic when it causes Amirox to decide on buying a PS3. :lol Welcome aboard man! (By June at least).

This MGS4 bundle has caused almost all my gaming friends who dont own a PS3 to finally get one. This is one game im glad Sony didnt miss out on giving a bundle for.

As for the PSP, I love the look of it, and I was thinking about getting my first slim - but hell - why wait till June Release it on the 4th of March dammit >_<

 

[ThirdEye]

Hey what are you guys seeing, I don't see nothing other than fan-made jackets CrushDance posted.

 

[kay]

It's from a magazine, can't post it, sorry.

 

[Kowak]

I could see myself buying multiple versions of the game if the box arts were all so cool as that

 

[jett]

This is where the new rule gets retarded. Can't even post pictures of a freaking boxart. :lol

 

[Crusade]

Ugh. Is that for Japan only? Kind of ugly IMO, this would have been better:

You think those horrid pieces of crap are better than the Official boxart?

 

[Wollan]

It's a fanmade one. But totally better than the current one circulating around, I really hope that one is Japan only :S

You are loco in the head.

 

[Replicant]

Ugh. Is that for Japan only? Kind of ugly IMO, this would have been better:

No, just no. That's just bad. I want the Japanese cover art. Well, they can use this one for US cover but hopefully the European cover is the same as the Japanese one (and they usually do).

 

[Nemo]

Is the official one the one where Snake looks like the Snake on the menu screen of the original Metal Gear Solid?

 

[Danj]

Dunno if this has already been posted but "No MGS4 PS3 or God of War PSP bundle for Europe", says SCEE.

Blatantly lying because they have yet to announce details on their bundle
They were the first to announce plans for a MGS4 bundle and MGS has its strongest market in Europe.
