160GB PS3 'Drake's Fortune' bundle caught in the wild

Engadget writes:
Hey, pal -- remember that 160GB PS3 Drake's Fortune bundle we told you about back in August? Well thanks to the totally awesome skills of one intrepid reader, we now know that they're available for purchasing pleasure at your local Best Buy (and other spots, we like to imagine). From what we can tell based on that extremely blurry photo you see, the package will sell for a holiday-destroying $499.99, so you'd better hope grandma drops a big check on you this season.

I think they definitely should've had another game in there. Uncharted is amazing, but seriously LPB, MGS4, R2, GTAIV would've all make that price at least a little more interesting for the public.

Yeah, I definantly think that there should have been another game bundled with it. I think Resistance 2 or LBP would have been awesome for that bundle.

This is my own version of a 160GB PS3 bundle: 160GB PS3 bundle with Resistance 2, Killzone 2 Beta Code, and The Dark Knight on Blu-ray... now that would fly off shelves.

Yep, shoulda been LBP instead of Uncharted.

Should have bundled Dark Knight with the 80gig like how Spiderman 3 came with the 40gig when it first launched.

its limited to first party games, and R2 is too new to include. they make more money selling it separately. they should bundle it with the dark knight, but thats also a third party studio. they'd have to do something from sony picture entertainment.

Can't be true about 1st party limitations. Metal Gear Solid 4 isn't 1st or 2nd party. It's genuine 3rd party, and it got bundled with the 80gig right around launch.

3 - the marketing head honcho at SCEA has lost it

seriously as much as uncharted is an awesome game. that should have been the bundle they released last year. this year, this bundle should of had LBP/MGS4... specifically LBP because the marketing for that game needs work. MGS4 sold well and is an established franchise. This bundle with that insane $499.99 price is a kick to the gut. at 399 they are doing well if they had just lowered the 40g to 299, and had the 80g at $399 then they would have made waves this quarter but they didn't/. and we'll see how much people stay away from that 500 bucks this holiday

As much as I love my PS3 and the games available for it, and as much of a value as I believe the console offers for the price it costs (and I'm more than happy with my purchase of the machine at 500 bucks)... I do agree. I believe that dropping the price by 100 dollars would MORE THAN double their sales. The demand is there for the PS3, this was proven by how well it has sold in comparison to the competition despite being a higher priced product with fewer available games and less aggressive marketing. A lower price would put the PS3 in killing position.

Sony is increasing the exposure of the game for the next installment of uncharted. I mean it may look stupid but if you look closely you'll see this is exactly what they are doing. The more xposure uncharted gets the more succesful the franchise will be....think about it.

I'm really curious to see how it'll sell. But IMO it totally misses the current market demand.

BTW: I don't really care. I got 2 PS3s already. So what.

why is sony selling another 500$ console? they should be lowering the price NOT highering it! not to mention 80 gig is more than enough for a gaming console and the fact that uncharted is a year old game, at least bundle something thats really good like mgs4 or something.

the ones that are buying their first ps3 dont care its a year old game, it still rocks. imo everyone that buys a ps3 needs to play uncharted. they might miss it since the game doesnt get advertised anymore.

which 80 GB model are you talking about?
the recent ones don't have backwards compatibility so I would think twice before selling it

It would be stupid either way.
It comes with $120 in extras, 160GB HDD $50, Uncharted $60, and pain $10

He will get, maybe $400 (if it has BC) or $300 (non BC)
The 160GB is $500.
He could just get a new hard drive, used copy of Uncharted ($50) and pain and he will end up losing MUCH less $

I'd keep the 80 gig you have. For under $100 you can upgrade your HDD. my 60gb PS3 is now a 320gb PS3, and I only spent $80.

I am hopefully getting mine tomorrow or Monday, my 60gb died on me so I am returning it, giving the new console gained from that to my father-in-law and we are trading his in to split the cost in games. I figure I will end up putting in a 500gb drive next spring once tax time rolls in because there should be plenty to choose from, though I will end up with a Western Digital despite other options. It's a win for me everyway I cut it, I need a new copy of Uncharted anyway, and $500 is well worth it
