On 11/24 at 8:00am (running through 11:59pm on 11/25), the 80GB PS3 ($499) will come with 10 FREE Blu-ray movies instantly. You choose any 10 BD titles under $30 within the store and they will override the prices to zero. For those stores that carry BD already, additional titles are being sent in for the sale. For those that do not have BD in their store (a small minority) product will be sent to each store specifically for this sale.
Oh, and you still get your 5 FREE movies by mail.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
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.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"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.
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?
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.
wow 15 free blu-ray movies with five hundred dollar ps3, that is absolutely crazy!
I've witnessed Wal-marts blu-ray movie section. I don't think I could even pick 10 out. I'd have to decline no less than all of them and ask for the blu-rays in trade on another item or items. Sorry. Good deal, though... in theory.
I see I've been disagreed with... That's fine, your walmarts must have better selections than mine. I hardly think that calls for a disagreeing. Unless, of course, you all visited my walmart and seen for yourself... Damn Hypocrites.
15 free blu-ray movies omg... why can't this happen in the Uk/Europe :(
*sigh* It would be so much greater if you could pick 5 games instead. Not that I don't enjoy movies but if I'm buying a PS3, its for games, not movies. I'm not saying its a bad deal, quite the opposite in fact. It's a great deal, but I wish the PS3 in general would stop trying to sell BR. If I wanted a player I would buy a player, not a player/gaming machine. But I suppose the fact that the best BR player right now is the PS3 does complicate things. Wonder how that makes the other BR players feel?
