New PS3 starter pack unveiled

The new pack includes the 60Gb PS3, two Sixaxis controllers, Resistance: Fall of Man, MotorStorm and new addition Heavenly Sword, which made its debut on the charts this week at number seven.

Lightning Mr Bubbles6056d ago

PS3 should of had these games at launch.

Vavoom6056d ago

I thought the 60 gig was phasing out. How can they make a starter pack with a SKU that they plan on no longer carrying. Or were they just saying they were phasing it out to scare people into buying right away.

If so, that's some sneaky stuff.

xplosneer6056d ago

The 60GB was only canceled in USA, this is Europe only offer.

SonySoldiers6056d ago

Even without a price drop, the PS3's value has once again increased by this new pack.

nasim6055d ago

PS3 is already outselling x360 by huge margins 3:1 in EU. These starter packs would increase the margin further.

BTW dont bring up vgcharts FALSE NUMBERS to refute my claim

Here is PS3 vs X360 in EU

3 different genre .. this will ROCK!!! on Xmas..

Beowulf286056d ago

now lets see the price! this could very well get alot of people to wabt ps3's.

CyberSentinel6056d ago

Good deal, but for that price, they sure look desperate.

Violater6056d ago

cant catch a break , first its a ripoff and too expensive,
Now they look desperate??

The Brave 16056d ago

AMAZING!people complain that the ps3 is expensive which in my opinion is false.but they also complain or have something negative to say even when sony adds value to the product.sony is about 5.5 million units from the X360.all this without much marketing and only being out in europe for 5 months.Not to mention that they have not even hit $399 which is how x360 started.AAA games are starting to poor in.HS,Lair(i like it)and warhawk got it started.2007 is pure gravy the rest of the way. And dont get me started on 2008 .A beast is aproaching gentlemen(and ladies)and there is no way to stop it!!!!!!!

lawman11086055d ago

That is $571.00 US dollars......even with games THAT wont help sales that much and that is before tax so your still way over $600 bucks.

Dannagar6056d ago

That's a pretty good if the price is right.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro42d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7242d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_42d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga42d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2341d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200042d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin42d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole42d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix42d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198942d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198942d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds545d ago (Edited 545d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno545d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya545d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020545d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds545d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya545d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman544d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran544d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
