Best Buy sells 60GB PS3 with a free game or controller

Best Buy is selling the 60GB PS3 with a free game (Heavenly Sword, Lair) or a controller.

Lightning Mr Bubbles6042d ago (Edited 6042d ago )

It's a good bargin. I personally would go with the 40GB if I didn't have a PS3 already. It's the best price.

smirx6042d ago (Edited 6041d ago )

I agree that the 40gb is a great buy, it's probably the smartest move Sony has made for the PS3 to date. I hope I don't sound greedy, but I would prefer if they gave you an instant $30.00 rebate on ANY Blu-Ray at time of purchase. I hate Spiderman, I guess it's easier since Sony owns the Spiderman franchise right? Oh well, still a great bargain. I would buy it for 400 bucks even if it didn't come with a movie!

lonestarmt6042d ago

Gay? haha nope ( I won't go into it, because I can go on forever on all the unwarranted hate on spiderman 3, so I won't go there) All because you didn't like spiderman 3,didn't mean lots did, and in fact LOTS did. In fact spiderman 3 holds almost every record there is for a movie; best weekend, fastest earning, best opening day, best imax,best world wide, highest grossing ever. So from there view they are only putting the most successful movie of all time with the system. I think thats a really smart move, regardless if you liked it or not, spiderman 3 is prob going to be the best selling dvd, and the best selling blu-ray of all time so far. Plus they want people to get into blu-ray so its a win win.

smirx6041d ago

lonestarmt, you started your comment off by saying, "I won't go into it, because I can go on forever on all the unwarranted hate on spiderman 3, so I won't go there". You then proceed to explain how great it is. Huh? Anyways, your absolutely right about Sony choosing a guaranteed hit to include. However, almost everyone I know, said they were disappointed in the film. Therefore, I know there are people who would rather be able to choose the movie they get. I guess it's hard to argue with free though.

lonestarmt6041d ago

yeah that comment didn't make sense did it?? lol. Well I didn't really talk about why its great really, because if its great or not is a matter of opinion really, what I stated were facts. I could write a huge novel on here on why I think its the best of the three movie wise not sales wise, thats what I was really saying. I was just trying to say how much of an success it was. The best even. So from sony's stand point you put whats to be predicted that could be the best selling DVD and blu-ray of all time, it would make sense to put that in the bundle. I think its a better choice than what they went with at launch talledaga nights.

Haha again with well all my friends said it sucked too. What a world we live in. All my friends love it, including my parents and girlfriend. Its a matter of opinion and you prob have friends that think similar to you so they didn't like it either.

I agree with everyone that it should come with a game, maybe motorstorm or fall of man ( not likely since its rated M), but since this movie is the highest grossing film of all time, and its made by sony for heavens sake, its the safer route. I don't agree with it, but it makes total sense. haha for me if I didn't already have a ps3 or going to buy spiderman blu-ray already, that would have been a selling point for me. Anyway thank you for your mature and respectable disagree for that I give you a bubble.

yeah lair is not a good game to go with it, but heavenly sword yeah, thats awesome. What a game to showcase the ps3! so what if its short, its a great game, and the perfect game to show people what the ps3 is capable of.

ruibing6042d ago

These games almost all single players are short, so yeah getting HS with a 60GB is a good deal. Amazon.com has already ran out of 60GB, so you all better jump on this if you want a 60GB version.

eXplotion6042d ago

its pointless right now. Get the 60GB before it runs out.

IdontTakeSides6042d ago

Exactly get the 60GB b4 it's gone....Heavenly Sword is a great game it's not that short as the reviewers made it out to be...Lair is an OK game if ppl are willing to learn the controls...it can be a fun game..!!

razer6042d ago (Edited 6042d ago )

Since the 80gig w/ a game is the same price as the 60gig w/ no game. I see stacks of the 60gig at BB and there was only 1 80gig.

Edit: Just realized this is online only.. better than nothing but lame. Instant gratification FTW!

Birdman186041d ago

this deal is actually a few weeks old. once we (best buy) dropped the price of the 80g, a notice was put out to include either Lair, HS, or a controller for free with the 60g's to get them out of stock. so this isnt an online only offer, we are offering it instore as well. we even have signage up on the offer in my store

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow5d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1824d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie4d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere3d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney3d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno4d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno4d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii4d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno4d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
