Though many expected a price-cut to be announced for the PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) at Sony’s Pre-E3 Press Conference, there was none forthcoming. With the company insisting after the event that the trade show and media gathering isn’t the right place to announce a drop in the system’s Recommended Retail Price, many reading between the lines have cited the company’s unwillingness to devalue the Blu-ray component of the system as a roadblock for the console’s market placement. While it appears an official price-drop may remain months away, it hasn’t stopped Sony promoting the system with “better value” bundles, such as this new offering which Electronic Theatre has received word about.

            The new bundle is set to include an 80GB PLAYSTATION 3 console, along with Terminator Salvation, due for release tomorrow, Friday 12^th June 2009, and a copy of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines on Blu-ray. The bundle will launch on June 26th, 2009, with a Recommended Retail Price of £309.99.

            This latest bundle offer joins a long line of pre-packaged PS3 hardware and software, and will no doubt help to raise the profile of the system on UK shop shelves, but that long-awaited price-drop is still top of many gamers’ lists. As ever, Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details on the PS3.

DEcent bundle

too bad T:3 was a crap movie!

£309.99 = $309.99???? and is this only EU

309 British pounds = 507.4398 U.S. dollars

:O

Whose idea was it to package a PS3 with a crappy game and a crappy movie?

Sony's since they made the cappy movie.

^ I thought the same exact thing..SONY needs bundle help

They couldn't at least give people T2 so they have some sort of incentive to take the deal?

Terminator 3 = Fail.

Should have been T2 Blu-ray special edition.

I expect a bump in sales! -10K yes that's a minus...
