Uncharted is the only franchise Sony supports now. The amount Uncharted is mass bundled seems like a desperate attempt by Sony to make the Uncharted series one of their big hitters along with Gran Turismo & God of War because without all the mass bundling it would just be a medium selling franchise. I don't understand how people can be impressed by its sales, anything can appear to have sold amazingly when it's been bundled to death, but the truth is Uncharted isn't big and doesn't have a lot of dedicated fans like Sony's biggest franchises.

Sony should bundle something else for once when they release the new slim model, maybe a bundle for young gamers including LittleBigPlanet Karting & Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale and then a mature gamers bundle with God of War: Saga & Killzone Trilogy.


huh? 

uncharted has sold more than God of War!?

and i far as i know this is the first Uncharted 3 console bundle, excluding the launch bundle that cost $300, which is quite a normal thing to do for big games.

also God of War has been bundle quite a few times to.

Uncharted series has been bundled but doesnt seem to have been the mass bundle type game.

you seem to have a very irrational hate of Uncharted that simply is based on facts. 

Uncharted is clearly the bigger series and more profitable series than God of War is for them. its Sony's blockbuster, most ciritically acclaimed series.

also this seems to be the first bundle where they are practically giving away the game, all other bundles had mark ups, this one has a price cut. and it seems very tempory and to make room for new models

Who the hell started this bullshit of Uncharted been mass bundled????

GT5, GOW3 and Uncharted 3 all seem to have their fair share of bundling across the regions but i wouldn't say either of them has been mass bundled ala forza3 and gears 2.

This is one area where MS have totally smashed Sony this gen...effective and consistent bundling.

well they need to steal some thunder from WiiU so a price cut is the move I would have taken as well!

Im sure this pending move would have happened irrelevant of the Wii U

More like sony waited until nintendo announced WII u officially and put it up for pre order, to then re launch the PS3 again.. at a cheaper price.. with way more to offer than the WII u.. considering it's also a blu ray/3D player.. /multimedia hub with graphics similar to what the WII u offers..

Can anyone give me a quick update when Sony's TGS conference starts and where the livestream is?

That's a steal. The games are worth of half that price.

Guys, don't get your hopes up... Every year, Walmart do that kind of deal for their anniversary sale. Prices will go back to normal after the week.

The 3DS is selling for 119$ during that sale as well, and I doubt Nintendo is gonna cut the price on it again. It's just a special Walmart sale, like they do every year.

They haven't released a precise date yet, but said this


The day before doors open, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan will be holding a press conference in downtown Tokyo from 5.00am BST (1.00pm Japan time). Unlike Gamescom, we won’t be hosting a livestream of the event, however, any earlybirds will be able to read about all the key announcements right here on the PlayStation Blog after the show finishes. What’s more, I’ll be on the ground live-Tweeting proceedings via @PlayStationEU.

 

TGS opens in the 20th. But that's business days. Maybe they mean public days, which starts on the 22th.

But probably not, almost sure it's on the 19th, 1 PM japanese time. No streams yet, but there's some NicoNico logos on Sony's page, so maybe.

I simply don't get the point of not having live streams anymore. It's not like you need a 200 ft satelite antenna to be live around the world anymore

All of them do that (in this case don't do streams)
