playstation Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 UPDATE-9/9/09 PS3 250GB bundles priced, detailed A trusted retail source has corroborated earlier reports and told Eurogamer that a 250GB PS3 Slim will arrive here as early as October, as part of three console-plus-game bundles. Unlike Spain, the UK will combine either Assassin's Creed II, Gran Turismo 5 or Uncharted 2 with the 250GB PS3 Slim. And each bundle will cost £299.99. Sony has not backed this up in writing, which is why our source wished to remain anonymous. Although the bundle will arrive in October, perhaps only Uncharted II - released on 23rd October - will appear then. Assassin's Creed is due on 20th Novmember, and Sony has only officially narrowed the date for GT5 to Q4 2009. The crescendo in retailer chatter suggests the platform holder may be poised to make an announcement soon. Yet, for now, its validity - and what Microsoft will counter with - remains to be seen. source If this rumor is true, then it is clear that Sony will be out for blood this holiday season. PlayStation LifeStyle reports that a "source close to Sony" has revealed fabulous secrets to them the day they held aloft their PS3 Slim and said "by the power of Gran Turismo!" That is to say, the source allegedly revealed that Sony would be releasing a special PS3 Slim bundle this holiday season which contains a 250 GB version of the console, the eagerly-anticipated Gran Turismo 5, and a voucher for some type of PlayStation Network game, so that they might get some people to go online and start looking at what is available there. Though which game would be available with the PSN voucher is unknown, what is known is the price: $399.99, which to be honest sounds perhaps too good to be true. But then, if Sony's really out for blood, this would definitely be a good way to draw it. Naturally, there's no confirmation of this, so it has to be chalked up to rumor. However, PlayStation LifeStyle offers the following: This information doesn't come from our regular source, but given how the previous "premium" PS3 bundle featured another flagship PS3 title, larger HDD, and a voucher for the downloadable game Pain, this proposed bundle certainly sounds feasible. Especially after the recent filings of the 250GB PS3 Slim being unveiled and the Gamescom Gran Turismo 5 brochure claiming a Q4 2009 release. Something to ponder, I suppose.
