Most ridiculous thing is, that they did not cut the price for the simple 60gb PS3.
So in stores, there is a PS3 with 1 Controller and no games for 599€ and right next to it a package with 2 controllers and 2 games for the same price:lol
Oh well....lot's of consoles will gather dust i think...

They are allowed to give away a standard machine with two retail copies of the bundled games and the extra controller accessory. If they run out of the bundle.Des0lar said:

The new pack is less awesome than the current pack:
Des0lar said:
Umm no that's not from Sony, right now Sony sells PS3 in Europe exclusively through the starter pack.
If a few retailers are still selling the PS3 alone at 599,well they're playing dirty hoping to fool someone because they should give two games from SCEE and a second controller with it, even separetely, for the same price.

That bundle would have been so nice though.

No MS 2 games bundle has been sold for 600 either, different companies have different bundles, no big deal.GenericPseudonym said:

+13% tax
bonus part about that price, they didn't even question it that someone who works in the store gutted the box and put a PS2 in it. I think walmart might have arrested me if I took back a product and accused them of stealing from me.
Warhawk will hopefully have some legs. I haven't played it for a few days but it is really fun.Amir0x said:
If you are putting off the PS3 wait for a really good price drop for sure. The blu ray deal and price dropped happened very shortly after I bought mine and I had to justify a few hours of Calling all cars and tekken being worth more than 100 dollars.

Interesting to see HS in there, something makes me think they're not confident of it doing well at retail. It's also less interesting than the Resistance & Motorstorm bundle.
I guess they're just going to do the PSP route with bundling, refreshing it every few months with a "new" first party title.

Problem is, they can increase by 102% all day long, it doesn't bring them any closer to the 360 or Wii in the US. In fact, since the release of the PS3, Sony has only fallen FURTHER behind in the US, instead of making up ground. WW is a different story, but no one has a clue what total sales are in Europe thanks to the non leakage of hardware numbers.
If Sony can't consistently outsell the 360 in NA by the middle of the 2nd quarter (not financial quarter for you sales-age folk) 2008, then the last flammable person should make their way overboard. However, given MS' ability to drop the ball, it could just be a race to see who fecks up the most.

Awesome, now let's just tell MS to quit selling consoles for a year so they can be on a level playing field......Really, how does this make it better? How many more months of sub 175k sales can Sony have before they fall behind? We do all realize the first few months is the reason Sony has even held pace, right?
Furthermore, it still doesn't make a difference how they're doing compared to the 360's first year if they continue to be outsold month to month. 3rd place is not the spot I want to see them and I'm certain it's not the spot they want to be, but if they kept some of your guys logic, that's exactly where they're going to be.

Shit, by 'Starter Pack' I was expecting a $399 bare system that comes with an apology.

That´s 366, almost half of the price of the 60GB now without the emotion engine. I´d buy mine for 599 60GB with ultraviolet blue-ray. I´m glad i sell it before all the packs started
Price needs to be lower on europe, at least that pack for 450 (612USD) would be an incredible offer and they will fly off the shelves.

And even i am moderately surprised
yup - but to add to that :
with the upcoming rumbleshock coming out, what would have been good is if they just gave you the one controller, and included a 30quid PSN Point card to get people to at least try PSN and get them hooked on downloading content.
... and have it a SuperStardust HD themed point card, just to hammer home the message!
Actually - scratch that thought - a 20 quid Point Card and a BR movie.
People would then try BOTH non-traditional things you are trying to push as revenue generators.
