| Groucho said: You can't compare retail bundles with manufacturer bundles. Lots of retailers offer loss leaders with various consoles, for their own money-making purposes. The retail sector wants desperately to push Blu-Ray... the PS3 is just part of that strategy. Sony has nothing to do with retail-specific bundles. The cheaper 283.79 bundle you mention above is not a Sony official bundle, to my knowledge |
It is an official product, it's sold on Europe in some contries like Italy and Uk, and it's not only limited to retailers:

They even have a CoD World at War bundle.
