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.

You linked us some retailer collections... heck even the prices are different today than what you posted.  You just demonstrated what I was talking about.  Check out Sony's prices and bundles at Sony's site, and compare them to the retailers -- Sony doesn't offer most of those bundle deals.  Its the retailers doing it.  Its called a "loss leader", as I said.
