Hus, I'm gonna nominate you to be a mod

Honestly you really should!!

For those wondering what this will look like...try getting used to this:

Hus

I'm still waiting for this:

Hus banned

And yeah, stop with the pack ins, drop the price and people will start buying more. True, you actually do get a better deal with the pack in, but 1) not everyone is going to want those three games and 2) all that matter is seeing the lower price, not what comes with it.

I agree that a price drop would do much better than a started pack like this. Maybe do both? Drop 100 pounds of the price of the ps3 standalone unit, and still introduce that same started pack that would save people 160 pounds. They'd probably sell more consoles overall, and less started packs. Overall they'd end up ahead, because people would inevitably buy those (or other) games at full price.

Hey watch it! Talking like that is gonna make Hus start calling you a Wii60 fanboy. LOL

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Just because it has games bundled in it doesn't drop the price for people who think it is too expensive.

Shouldn't they lower the price rather than pack stuff in knowing that the consumer still has to pay $600.
