PS3 Slim/Uncharted 2 bundle is NOT a real thing (Update) photo

#PS3 #retailers #Rumors #Sony #Uncharted

Based on the an FCC listing spotted awhile back, we should have saw this one coming -- there's a PlayStation 3 Slim with a built in 250GB hard drive coming to retail sooner, rather than later.

The picture above (sent to Engadget -- that's their logo up there, guys!) shows the unit will be bundle with Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2, which is a game that we suspect will be both good and popular. Smart move on Sony's part, if you ask us. As this leak is simply based on an image, things like release date and price are currently unknown, but we'd guess we'll be learning more soon.

Anyone glad they waited to pick up a slim PS3?

[Update: This is not a real thing, but a hoax, as confirmed to us by Sony today. But, you know, something like this would be cool. If it were real. But it's not.]

Sexyyyyyyyy.

Damn, I want one of these SO bad for Christmas.

If I started a charity, maybe the "Get WarZombie a PS3" kind of thing, would anybody donate?

It'll make you feel like a nice person...

MisterGrieves

I adopted an 80GB fat this summer. D:

Oh well, mine plays Persona 4.

Gene Eric

Sony will make a killing on the Slim. The 360 is dead. ^__^

Dangsterr

I would actually prefer getting a 120gb slim and uncharted separated.... since 250gb seems too much for me...

Xzyliac

I've decided to get mine from Colorware so I can has glossy white over the black matte (it'll match my other consoles AND my room).

That said I wish they sold bundles because I would be all for this. I was hit with the hard reality the other day that there is no such thing as a cheap PS3 exclusive game right now and I'm already shelling out a good bit for the paint job. Aw well.

Inmortal2k9

at Gene Eric yeah right�� then microsoft will make halo for ps3 lol. the ps3 is nowhere near the 360 installed base on usa.

Gene Eric

@Immortal
With the price drop and the sheer value a Slim has over the 360? Your install base will shrink then disappear. ^___^

Inmortal2k9

@Gene Eric yeah right�� see you when you get there lol

Gene Eric

@Immortal
Soon enough, my friend. ^__^

Nyktharas

@Inmortal2k9
Your grammar is atrocious. Please refrain from feeding the troll, and giving us hideous eye cancer while attempting to read your fanboyish posts.

@Gene Eric
We get it, your a PS3 fanboy / troll.

That aside, I'll be picking this up to go in the gaming room. The fatty PS3 will be staying in the living room as a blu-ray player.

Gene Eric

@Nykthara
I'm not a troll. I'm just a gamer who wants to see Sony succeed. Nothing wrong with that right?

Steel Squirrel

Dear Gene Eric and Immortal2k9,
Please go pull a Thelma and Louise together.
Thank you.

PreacherMan89

Hah, cool.

Diverse

Cool beans. I bought the fat PS3 with Uncharted Uno last December. I'll be picking this one up now since I recently sold my phat PStripple.

Xzyliac

@Gene Eric
You're also a gamer who want MS to fail...bad...and you talk about it...a lot.

But whatevs man. Now that I (hopefully) have your attention can I say that I have been creeped out by your avatar for, well, forever?

Nyktharas

@Gene Eric
There is nothing wrong with wanting a console / company to succeed ....... but at this point unless Sony pulls a magical rabbit out of it's ass it's not going to pas 360 anytime soon. Maybe by next fall if they keep selling.

Right now the gap is fairly big. Don't get me wrong, I own both, my PS3 get's way more playtime. I'm just looking at the numbers.

I believe it's a possibility, just not anytime soon. Only the holiday will tell, and first fiscal quarter of next year will tell.

CBunn

This gene eric guy with his smiles at the end of sentences that make him not look like a troll is mighty annoying. Not him that is at fault, but the moderation here who still didn't got the message. He probably can't help it.

Oh, and ^__^. <- See, not a troll

Shadowiii

Wow, cool. If I hadn't just bought a TV, I'd want one of these. Oh well, I am certainly content with my 360 for now.
Will probably get one for God of War though.
Seriously though, this is kinda a slap in the face for the 360. After announcing that insane overlypriced MW2 version of the 360, only to be countered by this...yeah.
Yes, Microsoft, you WERE beating the PS3. See, even I bought one. But it's time to buckle down and be competitive or you are going to get overun. Give us built in wireless and free gold, and maybe even more of a price drop. Then you'll be ready to compete with the PS3 again.

Holyetheline

I'll be buying a PS3 for sure, but I don't know if I'll go for this bundle.

Xzyliac

@Nyktharas and probably Gene Eric
Not neccesarily. I mean this whole fiscal year can wrap up and Soby could lead in sales and still fall short of a fanbase. Especially if software sales still favor the 360 (and I fully expect them to).

My advice to anyone holding out on Sony repositioning themselves as supreme overlord of vidjagamezlan would be to wait until next holiday season. By then hopefully they will have a decent hardware and, if they're smart, they'll have a plethora of AAA PS3 exclusives that year and once the software numbers start really, really, booming then more people might be like "Hey. This PS3 Slim I bought is totally awesome. I'm gonna start buying multiplatform games for it."

All that said 360 still has Live and I'd hate to say it but Live is the shit.

Uzzy

Looks like a very good deal. I was going to wait till next year for deals when God of War 3 and Heavy Rain are out, but might reconsider.. if I have any money, that is.

Thankfully, I know that most PS3 owners aren't like Gene Eric. If they were, I'd be put off getting Sony products for life.

grassr00ts

We still don't know the price point, so who knows how well this will sell, 399 anyone? At that price, with double the hd space of the 1st slim and and a 60 dollar game, seems like a pretty sweet deal.

Nyktharas

@Xzyliac
I agree, unless Sony can somehow start selling a lot more software they will stay behind. Like I said though, only holiday sales will tell if they have a chance.

Cadtalfryn

Nah, I'm happy I got mine at launch. 250 is a bit much for me and I have never had a real interest in Uncharted.

PappaDukes

That's one of the things I do love about Sony. Their marketing is fantastic. When you buy something from Sony, it actually looks like an adult's toy, and not some mocked up Fisher-Price crap.

Space Moose

I'm totally buying this, the new PS3's are sweet!

Tiff

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Yeah, I just finished Uncharted on my friends' PS3 in a couple of days, and I'm a total fan. Might have to get this 0-0

BattyAdroit

God, what a sexy offering.

matrixdude171

It looks great, but if it costs more than $350 its not worth it.

Solid Squirrel

@Dangsterr
Hard drive indimidation?

tttt30

@ matrixdude171

well, the 120gb is $299. if you are planning on getting uncharted anyway it is like $50-$60 for the game. So, you are getting the extra 130Gs of hard drive for $40-$50. Its not that bad a deal if you want the game and want to buy a new ps3.

Evergreen

In terms of pricing, I gotta say this baby would sell like hotcakes this holiday season at $350. As someone who has yet to purchase a current gen system, this would look like the perfect deal.

Unfortunately, knowing Sony, they are going to price it at $400. Haven't they realized the mass audience they are trying to reach doesn't want to drop that much, even for a bundle?

tttt30

@ Evergreen

oh, I was assuming it was $400. haha.
$400 is not a bad price really. $350 is way better of course!

CrocBox

Damn, I am sure that would have sold great.

Arianol

If I didn't already have my Slim and that baby was actually real... oh the things I would do to it...

jonphillips287s

Ahh man that would have been a really good PS3 bundle
