It may have started with Spanish gaming website PS3p.es, but it wasn't long before multiple sources picked it up. The only problem is, Sony has – surprise! – refused to comment on the issue.
What you're looking at here is one of two possible (or probable) 80GB PlayStation 3 bundles that should, at the very least, arrive in Europe some time soon. This bundle features the upcoming action blockbuster, inFamous , while the other package boasts Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty ; both bundles apparently will have a price tag of €399. The latter bundle will release on May 15 and the inFamous package will launch on May 29. The only difference between these offers, besides the offered game, is the fact that the Quest for Booty package will give you an extra Dual Shock 3 controller. Of course, SCEE's reply, as received by PSU, is as follows:
"We haven't announced any of those bundles I'm afraid. I can't comment on the other territories either."
Well, duh. Standard operating procedure. But at this point, it seems almost inevitable that the announcement is right around the corner, although there's no guarantee that either bundle package will be made available outside of Europe. The European/PAL territories have received PS3 bundles before that never showed up in the US or Japan so it wouldn't be a huge shock. But let's just hope that both will go on sale in both Europe and North America at some point in the near future.

How about a black one splashed with pretend blood?
Or just real blood.
it'll have the omega inscribed on it
freakin sweet
I don't really have time for those fancy looks,just give me my original black ps3.
As i said before, there probably wont be a pricecut on E3 because of this bundle. This launches right before E3 and costs $399.
*sigh* looks like Sony relying ONLY on software to sell hardware.
this is for Europe though and will not affect the U.S. so a price drop from Sony could still come IF we even see one.
Booty quests FTW.
Quest for Booty in the Summertime, I like.
InFamous, judging by reviews, looks pretty sick, although u can pick up QfB for about £8. Why not just have a TOD bundle?
A bundle is like giving you the game free right?
Or it just costs slightly more?
I wonder how much they'll cost? Sony would really, really like to avoid lowering the price of their system, and I'm sure they're crossing their fingers that the prospect of having a $60 retail game like inFamous included in the box will lure a few new customers.
^cost in the US, I mean 🙂
Is not commenting the new Sony Marketing strategy?
Is it me or does it seem like SCEE and SCEJ is getting alot of bundles and advertisements wth happen to SCEA advertisements?
I think that they should change SCEA to SCENA for North America because SCEA affects all of North America
Sorry off topic 🙂
