PS3 - RUMOR! Sony WILL have Bundles

PS3 News by Lyndon M STAFF 650 days ago

As a dedicated site of all Sony consoles, we aim to bring you up to date news about anything and everything relating to Sony consoles.

Well, I´m here to release some information that I was told yesterday.
As everyone on this site knows, I´ve had a PS3 pre-ordered since last June.

Anyway, I was contacted yesterday relating to my order. This is what I was told:

Apparently, Sony ARE doing console bundles at launch.
The bundles will include the following:

    •  The 60GB PS3
    •  Two Bluetooth controllers
    •  The Blu-Ray Remote Control
    •  and a Sony game, the choice of which will either be:
    •  Ridge Racer 7
    •  Resistance: Fall of Man
    •  Formula 1 Championship Edition
    •  Motor Storm
The other surprise was that the bundle will NOT include a cable to connect it to your tv. Now we obviously knew that we weren´t getting an HDMI cable but we thought we would at least get the basic Component Cable and Scart connector.
Sony´s reason for not providing a cable of any sort? Apparently, people own so many different tvs that it would be difficult to provide a cable suitable for all. So, instead of giving you a choice of cable, for free, you will have to buy one seperately at a price of at least �12.99 (GBP 12.99).

So the total cost of a PS3 at launch?

�499 for the bundle and �12.99 for a cable coming to a grand total of �511.99.

Now as a reminder, I must stress that this is what I was told. As of this moment in time, Sony have not officially confirmed whether this will happen.
However, as the UK launch is now only 6 weeks away, it is looking more and more likely that this could be what happens.
