DualShock3 controller
80gb hard drive.

In other words, all the rumors that Sony is putting in a larger HDD is false. Check out Engadget and do a search--I believe Sony announced this about a week ago. I think that this is an attractive bundle, since you get the new DS3 controller and MGS4 as well. I dont think this comes out later this spring though.
Correct me if I'm wrong, because I haven't researched the PS3 much..

But why all the hype over the new PS3 bundle w/ MGS4 and extra controller? I mean, it's $100 more than the current price of $399 with Spider-Man 3. So cost wise, it's actually a bit more if you factor in the extra controller/MGS4 for $499 vs. SM-3 bundle for $399.

Right..?

hmmm.. as much as i want that mgs4 bundle... i highly doubt it...

why would they bundle a game that will sell by itself, second... i thought they only bundle games made by sony.... not a 3rd party developer like konami... or is konami under sony?

there's a better chance for a best seller like gran turismo to be bundle since polyphony is under sony...

just my .02

but if they ever come with that package.... it's ON, that's all i need MGS with dualshock 3, im good for a month.. hehe...(im old now. i dont play as much compared to when i was still in school...)

I believe both MGS4 and the DS3 are said to retail for $59 each. So that would be 120 more than the 40gb bundle with spidey 3.

Um, I guess you didn't read the linked article to engadget I posted above. Sony has already announced the bundle officially. I believe it is posted on the playstation underground as well. Also, I do believe that there will be a GT5 Prologue bundle, but I think it is headed to Europe only (this I might be wrong about).

Also, the PS3 was bundled with Devil May Cry 4 (not in the states) and that is made by capcom.

The Spiderman 3 PS3 bundle comes with a 40gb console; the MGS4 bundle will come with an 80gb console.

so i just returned the blu-ray remote and the hdmi cables. i forgot to switch the playstation back to regular red yellow white cables and now, since its set for hdmi cables it wont show up on the screen LOL


and the blu-ray remote i planned to get for free through this advertisement that came inside the playstation box. after i got home from returning it i read the paper and it said that i needed a receipt that i bought two movies on their selected list between the dates of 11-1-07 through 2-29-08. so i guess ill stick to using the playstation controller for that haha


i = fail
