Would it be better for me to get a PS3 now or wait for the Metal Gear Solid bundle in June(which for me is a long ways away)? Is there any MUST HAVES between now and June 12 that make it a must for me to get a PS3 sooner than the bundle comes out?

if you like GTA get it now for GTAIV, this will keep you busy by the time MGSIV come out. And this way you will get to know your PS3 and it features.

I just got my PS3 yesterday, I still plan on getting the bundle in June. I personally couldn't wait till June to get one seeing as though there will be a lot of great titles coming out between now and then.

If money is a big issue for you then I say wait...your money will be better spent getting the bundle in June.

Hope this helps.

Are the details of the bundle's contents finalized already? If not, I suggest waiting until they are and see if there's anything really cool that comes with it. If it just comes with the game and a DS3, then you could just get a PS3 if you're impatient lol.

If there is nothing else out now or until June that you want for the ps3, then I guess get the bundle. However, if there are games you want, and there are a lot of good ones, I would say go ahead and get it now if you can find an 80gb. If the MGS4 bundle had a unique PS3, I might say otherwise, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the same 80gb that's available now, but with the DS3 and MGS4 instead of the Sixaxis and Motorstorm. The reason I say go ahead is not because of Motorstorm (fun, but I'm not a racing fan and haven't played it much at all), but because there are quite a few games out that you could play for the next 3 1/2 months such as Uncharted, UT3/CoD4, R&CF:ToD, The Show 08, GTAIV, etc. along with some of the older games that will hopefully be given greatest hits status soon.

So, in other words, if you are really tight on cash wait for the bundle, however, if you can afford it, get it now and pick up some great games, and just buy a DS3 when it comes out and then MGS4 (preferably preorder for online beta) when it's released.

well it's definitely worth getting already... but the bundle does sound pretty cool. just depends on how patient you are... seeing that I was not patient enough to wait on mine... I can't really fathom waiting to purchase it when there are already so many awesome games to enjoy, but that's just me!

How is it you don't have a PS3 yet and you already have a PSN ID?

Actually, I had one before...but sold it to my brother in Law for money to get a car, now that I have a car I realize how much i miss that thing! but i'm not sure if i remember my PSN password, so its likely i'll just set up a brand new account with a new name.

I'm waiting for the MGS4 Bundle. That deal cant be passed up. I know how anxious you guys are, because I am, and sometimes I feel like going out and buying a PS3 right now. The price of the 40g PS3 is $399. But the MGS4 Bundle includes MGS4, an 80gb PS3, and the new dual shock 3 controller, all for only $500, plus a box which you can sell on Ebay for like $30-50 because you know the fanboys will want them, who already has a PS3. It's easily a better deal. I'm aware that Haze is coming out before the bundle, but it's just going to have to wait. I'm going to get the MGS4 bundle and Haze. Just save up your money.

Well, I'm not sure since the saying goes that the best comes to those who wait. Honestly though I think you should just get the ps3 anyways because there are some ps3 exclusives coming out before the ps3 bundle. The only thing that differs in the bundle is the fact that it comes with MGS4 and a controller that comes with the vibration. Some other things that would come out before the bundle is Home and some other stuff that Sony is hiding up their sleeves.

I'm getting a PS3 next week. Most likely the 40gb version, maybe the 80gb. I think the bundle is a good deal, but I don't think its worth the wait since I could just buy MGS4 at retail if I choose to. Also, the DS3 can be bought seperately, so really you can get everything the bundle people are getting--and sooner with the DS3.
