Sony is giving out bundles like candy.

360 is getting one too eh?

What's up with all the bundles. I don't remember last gen being so bundle crazy.

Guess Wii Sports harkens people back to the glory days of making every sap pay for a game they may or may not want?

I'm guessing they're just going toe to toe... These bundles must be costing them a bundle (sorry for the lousy joke, it's late and I obviously gotta sleep).

 

Actually it's the opposite. Sony likely won't be losing a thing off these bundles. They're selling for ¥48,980. That's rougly equivilant to $500. Assuming that iSupply's estimate that PS3s cost Sony roughly $440 to manufacture and taking into account that it's cheaper to ship the consoles that are made in China to Japan as well as the roughly $60 that they have to pay Capcom for every copy of Resident Evil 5. This bundle is actually more cost effective than selling the 80GB model by itself.
