It's a fantastic bundle imo. Two uncharted's and two infamous, both new IP's and sequels; that is a good way to start off for a new PS3 owner.

The comparison to Halo 4 is relevant. If this is true, a bundle this packed for as low as $199 then that honestly reeks of desperation. Either way it is interesting to compare.

I wonder why they went with InFamous?

I think it would be interesting if they went with an Assassins Creed bundle. Have the console come with AC I and II to get people interested (and buying) AC III on PS3.

A lot easier and cheaper to bundle your own products, I would imagine, plus you're building a fanbase for the Infamous franchise. I'm sure there will be more on the PS4.

Infamous 3 would probably end up on the PS3 as well. You know to make it a trilogy. Maybe make it a spin-off or something.

Then on PS4 we would have Infamous 4, God of War 4, Uncharted 4.

Wow, if true this bundle is insane. Uncharted 2 and inFAMOUS 1 are two of my top 3 favorite games.

Really wish Sony would bring the 12gb ps3 to the US and have a temporary price drop to $199 (for the console alone) for Christmas. I've heard video game sites predict this would happen, but I think it may be too late at this point for an announcement like that.

This is also for people who only have a X360 or PC. Quite a big percentage of the potential customers played Assassin's Creed somewhere else.

What is Sony thinking with this bundle? Do they think they have a chance againts Halo? They should just leave the console industry altogether now that Halo is coming. Or just add Gran Turismo 5, Assassin's Creed 3, Uncharted 3 and a free Vita to actually compete.

The actual games bundled wit it make for awkward choices, no one cares for these old games. The only pre 2012 games that are still relavent and in demand are GT5 and Uncharted 3.

I say they should have done GT5, Uncharted 3 and Assassins Creed 3

For $200?

Keep dreaming bud.

It would essentially be a AC3 bundle. Both GT5 and Uncharted 3 are sony's own titles which have already made tons of profit, I'm sure sony would happily give them away for free.
