Probably to get rid of the existing stock. I wonder if that's the reason why DS3 will come so late to Europe.

Lol, about time if you ask me, when did we first hear of this? Must be weeks since first I saw the pics and read up on the bundle all over the web.

They need to get the advertising for this bundle started asap... Make the public know that they can save some money by buying the two together :D

Shame about the Sixaxis being the controller in the bundle but i expected as much! The DS3 is apparently being released on the 6th of may (or something to that effect, unofficial of course)

Less annoucements less then 1 week before, more advertising the fact. Sixasix is expected in my view, DS I think officially if off yet.

I don't get why they are delaying DS as it's the same hardware, just different packaging and stick on the back then in Japan...

finally official - I hope this has some positive effects on the PS3 in europe

Sony needs to give the Europeans the option to have rumble and BC PS3s already.
