it's an 80GB PS3 bundled with copies of two of the biggest games on the system: Metal Gear Solid 4 and Killzone 2. All that for the asking price of a standard PS3, $400.

Wow that is a really good deal

Do you think Sony is trying to clear stock for the rumored slim PS3?

Not BC.

And yeah it's a great deal, but fear not, because someone's going to find something to cry about.

This makes me question why people want to wait for a pricecut/slim ps3. This bundle gives two games most likely the average consumer was planning on buying so the ps3 is practically 310...So slim ps3 possibly missing features for 300/350 or this nice bundle..

That's an awesome deal. I have no interest in those games, but if I didn't have a PS3 I'd buy that bundle set in a heartbeat.

I guess I could MGS4 a go one day, but I'd have to play the first 3 games before venturing into the 4th one. I'd be lost.

Jeez anyone questioning about getting the PS3 fear not. Get this. Two of the best PS3 games right there for 80gigs. I would go for it if I didn't already have an 80gig with BC.

That's the best value in PS3 history. My 80 gb with BC was bundled with MGS4 for $500. You get the same thing plus KZ2 for $100 less. You can by a $100 PS2 to make up for the BC and still get a $60 better deal than I did, but when the emulation software becomes available for download you'll have beaten me by $160. To sum it all up: This is an AWESOME DEAL!!! And, yes, I think Sony is clearing the shelves just as was rumored. They want all those old things gone before the slim comes in to eat up the competition this holiday season. ;)

What? What games would you consider mainstream then? MGS4 has sold more PS3s than any game so far, and KZ2 is definitely an awesome game despite how poorly it sold. I promise you, a lot of people who don't have the PS3 yet are already conisidering at least one of those games as a must buy.

This finally might be enough for me to get a PS3 now, this is a great deal. MGS4 is a must for me, one of my favorite series and Killzone 2 has also caught my eye.

The MGS series is no GTA, Mario or Halo. Those games sell way more. Like many have said, MGS is for the hardcore mostly. and u just mentioned KZ2's weak sales. Im not dissing this bundle but MGS4 has been since June 08 while KZ2 been since Feburary, obviously alot ppl arent sold. this bundle should appeal to the hardcore who like these kind of games but want spend $400+ to play it on.

Yeah...The damn box is ugly...Seriously they could have added alittle more creativity to it. But then again it is about damn time they had something to counter the 360's Elite Bundle.

Dude, seriously? You don't think MGS is in the same league with GTA or Halo? That's just silly. MGS4 is the reason a lot of people bought a $500 console. It was 2008's game of the year (NOT GTA4). It's being ported to the 360 was one of the biggest rumor/discussions to come up in the forums over and over again (its got a sticky in System Wars!). In countless threads where asked what's the best game on the PS3 they whole thread will be completely dominated by MGS4. MGS is huge. Its super huge. It alone should sell a bunch of consoles at a $400 price point. Throw in KZ2 and you got an amazing deal. Anyway, so you think they should throw some casual stuff in there? What games would you suggest? MGS4 is what people want. Its probably the most mainstream game on the PS3. Besides, the 360 owners have access to the DLC for GTA4, so why would they want it on PS3?

@nephlim83 MGS4 sold over 1 million worldwide while halo 3 reached doubled that. I thnk PS3 version of GTA4 sold better than MGS4/KZ2.T he ppl who MGS4 bundle are the fans of the series. Bottomline this bundle is aimed at gamers who was hesitant on buying a PS3 .
