wieeerd they got no more?................ that would suck if they stopped already i always thought mgs4 bundle as the greatest idea ever imagined except the design of mgs4 and the dark knight of course...... lol i always thought motor storm was a sweet bundle spreading the love that game was alot of fun but packaging mgs4 with a ps3....... who needs religion when you got that for the crazy low price of 499.99 premium ps3 and duelshock3 included zomfg lol that damn no bwc 40 gig style 80 gig unit comming out soon kinda really sucks...... oh well long live the 60 gig!

220? You think its worth it? I have a 40gb and i have $420 to spend on games(I had a lonnnnnnnnngggggg list) that totalled to $330 and it did include MGs4 for $60 and Dualshock 3 for $50. Im gonna work it out now and see how much its worth. it doesnt look that bad to me now.

Yeah. if i did it i would be $90 short of completing my full game list. It would make more sense to buy a ps2 but damn the ps3 having bc would be too awesome. Isnt the $220 just to trade in the ps3? Dont they usually give extra credit if your putting it towards buying another system or something?

its 200 right now, its 220 if you trade in consoles right now till the 10th of this month. I have to pay 283 out of pocket. So that would be i payed $719. payed 436 for the 40gb and 283 for the difference, I'm thinking its not worth it. I mostly want BC to play FFXII, the HD can be bought for 60 for a 120Gb HD and the Dualshock 3 from newegg is 48 bucks. Their is also a PS3 Final Fantasy bundle coming next year, I don't know if it has BC, pretty sure it wont since sony says thats it, cut costs. I'm leaning towards buying but I can't even find a store that has it in stock.

Damn i cant trade it until after the 10th so thats even worst. Im really consider doing it and just dropping 3 of the 5 $30 dollar games i was planning on buying. Burnout Paradise/Fifa Street 3/Motorstorm/NinjaGaiden Sigma/Resistance. Cant drop Burnout that since thats what i want the most. Right now it really doesnt seem worth it but im damn thinking that in the future i would be glad i did. Damn this is soo hard. Its even harder since I never played the older MGS games and the essential collection would be cool.

i bought MGS4, great game. I'm also stuck in the same spot, in the long run its worth but right now shelling out $200 something. A new deal will probably come after the 10th. I'll probably get the FF PS3 bundle, tell me how things work out for you.

I wish I could help both of you guys cause right now I could sell each 40GB console alone with the controller for about 300$ minimum. Also like I said before, we got a crap load of MGS4 bundles down here, im actually planning to buy and resell later on since the value will most likely sky-rocket because of the BC and the bundle itself is amazing. Gotta do what you gotta do, right?

Well the last option i got is to call up my sister who currently has my 360. Someone wanted to buy it(for almost $300) but i said i would take it back. Ill just find out if they would want the ps3. if not then i dunno. Buying a ps2 isnt saving that much more money tho.(well in my case)

Metal Gear Solid 4 - $60

Dualshock 3 - $50

Playstation 2 - $130

Memory Card - $25

Thats $265 and that would almost equal the amount your paying after trading it in so i might end up doing.

If all else fails then i still have My DS Lite. You could get $70 for it back in may so it cant be much less if any less now(it was $70 back in early 07 so maybe) and i also got about 5 games for it. Trade in 5 or more games and you get 30% extra credit.

Based on that fact itll only cost a little bit more than buying a ps2,a memory card,mgs4,and dualshock3 I might do it. Besides I have Resident Evil 4 for ps2 which i have never played(got from a friend and i was planning to eventually buy a ps2 anyway.

Ill update the thread when whatever i decide to do happens.

Yeah, why was the production of MGS4 bundles limited? Why couldn't it be a long-time bundle like MotorStorm? After all, MGS4 is PS3s leading title.
