I sold my PS3 two weeks before the Slim was announced.
Now it's time to buy a new one. I want the 250GB. I just want it with UC2 bundled.

The great thing is I will still buy it cheaper than I sold my old PS3 for :)

Syronicus5325d ago

When you can buy the 120 and install a 320 gig HDD for under 80 bucks more. Just sayin'...

masterg5325d ago

@Syronicus

Because the 250 Uncharted Bundle is rumored at the price of regular slim plus the game (350 Euro). Meaning 130GB free.

na2ru15325d ago

Got the 120GB PS3 slim for £250 and ordered a 500GB sata from Amazon for another £63.

500GB is the biggest I think.

Syronicus5325d ago

Do you have faith in rumors or a link I am unaware of?

Nice price. Still got my old 80GB PS3 sitting. Might buy this new 250GB version on thursday :]

Droid Control5325d ago

I only own a few games, but my 120GB HDD on my 360 is maxed out with DLC, arcade games, Xbox originals, and full 360 games...

I find it ironic that M$ screw over the people that need it most...

ChrisW5325d ago

Dude, do you ever clean your room? I'm sure you do!
Your HDD on any device shouldn't be any different!

jack_burt0n5325d ago

Yeah but its not like he is installing 360 games for the fun of it, he installs them to stop it sounding like a jet taking off, make sure it doesn't scratch the discs and the drive doesn't plain fail. Not bashing just adding truth 2 ur post.

Other thing is in the uk the ps3 is a great dvr so that can quickly fill up space and ppl will be buying dl movies next month thats who this bundle is aimed @.

Baka-akaB5325d ago

still i find it hard to fill that way . it's not like you can even copy stuff from usb .

And it's not like anyone need to have 10 and more full game installed at all time . Chance are you'll probably mostly stick to the same few games each month before moving out it other .

Video rent and purchase might be another thing of course . And it's just my opinion , hardly a gospel

ChrisW5325d ago

The GBP is 1.59 to the USD.

Which makes the PS3 $475 in the UK! Not that great of deal...

masterg5325d ago

You cant compare £ to $ or Euro.
The price of a regular slim is $500 here in Denmark.

Bell Boy5325d ago

The exchange rate will only apply if you are English and go on say a two week holiday to the US, in this period you feel as though you are loaded.

However when you actually live in in the US earning and saving a dollar is no different than doing the same for a quid. So to save for a $300 ps3 is the same as saving for 300 quid ps3.

I am English but live in the US so I know the exchange really only applies if you are on a holiday in real life it is a pointless comparison.

na2ru15325d ago

for explaining and clearing that up. They obviously haven't a clue.

Disccordia5325d ago

The UK price also includes tax

Carl14125325d ago

The price is more to do with elasticity of demand than exchange rate. Obviously Sony thinks that the demand for the 250GB PS3 is relatively inelastic (meaning that just because the price is high, the demand wont suffer from a massively reduced demand) in the UK. It's probably more elastic in the US and other areas.

That is sweet. Another blow to the outdated, overheating, overpriced, piece of crap xbox. I wish crap box would stop holding back the industry. I don't get why people can't see this.

When the MW2 bundle comes out, little roody poo kids and jabroni teens are going to tell their parents to buy it and its going to sell like hot cakes. Bu bu bu MW haz sick multi IT DOESN'T MATTER about Modern Noobfare 2 and multiplayer. Off topic if you want a FPS this gen, you're spoilt for choice like Killzone 2, Resistance 1 and 2, Halo, BC 1 and 1943 and more. People should wake up and smell the coffee, Modern Noobfare ain't that great (Yes I spent so many hours on this game compared to other multiplayers and then when you play another FPS, you realise that Modern Noobfare is not that great, even Noobs at War was terrible only Zombie Mode made the game have replay value). The SP was good but short in my opinion for Modern Noobfare. And thats the bottom line 'cause stone cold said so.

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Knightofelemia1d 22h ago

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

TheColbertinator1d 21h ago

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
