250GB PS3 bundles confirmed for the UK
Sony will bring 250GB versions of its new slim PlayStation 3 gaming console to the UK, bundled with various video games and Blu-ray movies, Pocket-lint reported on Friday. Priced at the equivalent of $455, there will be one bundle that includes FIFA 10 and another one with Need for Speed: Shift. On October 1st, more bundles will be introduced, including with two various Platinum titles and one with the open-world game inFamous.
October 16th will see the launch of an Uncharted 2 bundle, with a Blu-ray pack containing Wolverine, Batman: The Dark Knight and a Blu Ray remote due for October 19th. The bundles represent relative bargains, as Amazon in the UK is offering a pre-order for the 250GB PS3 on its own for the same $455 equivalent.

Takes the Sting Out
This is great news, the UK has been slighted a lot in gaming recently. Like when the Wii dropped its price elsewhere but the UK, and gave them a dinky Wii Sports Resort bundle to make them feel better. At least Sony stepped up to the plate and gave the UK a great new bundle. All they need to do now is ramp up the promotional advertising, like this one in the link below, and they can generate enough buzz to edge out the competition this holiday gaming season.
