SCE America Announces Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Bundle Featuring New 160GB PS3

From IGN:

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced plans to introduce a new 160GB PlayStation 3 (PS3) computer entertainment system in North America as part of the limited-edition Uncharted: Drake's Fortune PS3 system bundle. The increased storage size enables entertainment enthusiasts to store even more movies, television shows, and games downloaded from PlayStation Network, as well as more videos, music, and photos from their personal collection. Slated to launch in November for $499.99 (MSRP), the 160GB PS3 system will come bundled with the hit game, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, a PlayStation Network voucher for Pain, and a DualShock 3 wireless controller. The previously announced 80GB PS3 system ($399.99 MSRP) has started shipping to retailers.

Another "limited edition" SKU eh, just like the MGS4 one which keeps getting restocked. Not very "limited edition" if you ask me, just a ploy to increase demand.

Also its kinda contriditing their 'one SKU on the market' idea too, they going to have 3 at the same time, from a total of about 7.

Vicophine5741d ago

Kinda like that Halo 3 SKU that is still forsale in places such as Blockbuster and target right?

Drekken5741d ago

WHY DO YOU TALK? If my life was so miserable about something that means absolutely NOTHING to me (Because I dont own it) Then I would probably end it. Just throw in the towel and off myself. Now I am in no way telling you to do this, but if I was like you... I would.

This site split the open/gamer zone to stop BS like this in the gamer zone, but when comments make it through and we read them... how do they expect people not to get upset, call names or stoop to the pre-pubescent tactics of the trolls posting them.

You should have to enter your Live/PSN name in your account and you can only talk in to gamer zone if you have a legit ID. Otherwise you should be locked into the open zone.

I come to this site for news and all I see are idiots spamming flaming remarks. Makes me hate this site and get embarrassed to be a gamer. These are my peers.

This is great for newcomers to the system.....

EDIT:Oh ya that's right, I forgot.

The Wood5741d ago

there are no such things as 'newcomers'. time has froze and the 360 is just in front so they can claim victory for eternity;)

juuken5741d ago (Edited 5741d ago )

You could never stand the PS3 getting good news could you? If I received a nickel for every time you open your mouth, I'd be a rich woman by now.

If you have nothing to say that even remotely contributes to the article, then don't open your mouth.

It's that simple.

And the disagree bandits are here.

Cute.

KingME5741d ago

You do make a very valid point. When it comes to Sony saying that multiple SKUs just confuse customers. They only said that because at that time that's the path that they were planning on taking.

@Drekken - I agree 100% with you statement about people using this site should have to have a valid PSN ID, Wii Tag, Or gamertag to comment in the gamerzone. I also think it should go one step further, and prevent you from commenting in threads that you don't have a valid tag/id for. This would also cut down on trolling.

Feel free to read whatevery you'd like but to comment in that section you should have to be validated.

Bubbles to you on that concept.

KeiulZen5741d ago

Sorry but you fail sir. They're just trying to offer more so they can see more profits. Its a business and that's what they're trying to do.

Hell, its just like the automobile industry. Before this whole 'go green, eco-friendly' thing became mainstream and political, they weren't really giving a damn about small cars and gas mileage. It was about the next huge SUV or gas-guzzling Hummer H3.

So....point is, Sony's adapting to the environment of the market. If they have to offer more variety and different SKUs for more customers to buy in, then they will. Adaptation = Survival.

sunnygrg5741d ago

I dont like you, get off the Gamers Zone.

Sitdown5740d ago

what did Omega say that was so wrong? I went to best buy and Target today and they were full of Metal Gear Solid Bundles.........just like they were of the Legendary Editions of Halo that now go for $59.99. I do not feel that he said anything about the way......just a fair observation.

Drekken5740d ago

Sitdown, Omega is a little kid with snotty comments in every single Sony thread. If I seen this guy I would smack him off his bicycle with no reserve because I know his mom should be smart enough not to let him leave his house without a helmet on. When you child acts like this, you should know he will get smacked around.

This reaction to him is months of reading his garbage.

Sitdown5740d ago

Ohh, okay.........well carry on.

Uncharted is a very good game. By bundling it together, Sony creating a lot of new Uncharted fans...multi million dollar IP in the making.

When Uncharted 2 arrives, it will sell massive.

deeznuts5741d ago

Wait. On the psblog, they say this has all hte functionality of the new 80GB arriving on shelves. Looks like they're killing backwards compatibility altogether now? Or the MGS4 bundle PS3 is still going to be offered?

The Wood5741d ago

im replaying it right now so that's fresh to me right now

80 gig
80 gig + MGS4
and 160 gig + Uncharted

eagle215741d ago

Sony will only have 80GB and 160GB PS3's (all with Dualshock 3's) in the store this holiday for their flagship console. It makes their closest competitor look weak.

A great bundle!!! :)

iamtehpwn5741d ago

It means I'll be able to Buy Uncharted now for relatively cheap if the same thing happens like it did with Motorstorm. Motorstorm is now $20 used.

nbsmatambo5741d ago

they better keep them in stock during the holiday season

JoySticksFTW5741d ago

80gb MGS4 bundle (MGS4 is the best game that I've played in years!)

or

160gb Uncharted bundle (extra 80gigs plus it's my second favorite game on PS3 and was the best game that I played in years before MGS4 got to me!)

I'd like to think that almost every PS3 owner would treat themselves to both games.

I'd probably go with the 160gb Uncharted bundle and just pick up MGS4. I'm pretty sure Sony is thinking most gamers will pick up MGS4 as a second game no matter what bundle they throw out there.

But this is just a FLAWLESS VICTORY!! for gamers

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."

UC 2, 4, 3 and 1. Great read and article

ABizzel11017d ago

No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.

UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita

Levii_921017d ago (Edited 1017d ago )

Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.

Inverno1017d ago

U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.

DFresh1017d ago (Edited 1017d ago )

I'd rate it as the following.

1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)

2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)

3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)

4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)

NecrumOddBoy1017d ago

I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.

Michiel19891017d ago

uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.

medman1017d ago (Edited 1017d ago )

I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.

brando0081016d ago

I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.

Gardenia1017d ago

Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.

Ninver1017d ago

Yeah all of a sudden I've got that Uncharted itch.

Michiel19891017d ago

is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?

Ninver1016d ago

@michiel1989

Not sure
