Best Buy to bundle MGS4 and Killzone 2 with 80 GB PS3 photo

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. A PS3 bundle that doesn't suck? According to the above photographic evidence sent in to Kotaku by a Best Buy employee and subsequently confirmed by several others, that's what we're looking at. Not only is it real, it's set to go on sale as early as next Sunday.

The package includes an 80 GB PS3, accompanied by copies of both Metal Gear Solid 4 and Killzone 2, all under the standard 80 GB price tag of $399. Let me rephrase that: An 80 GB PS3 at standard price, along with what are arguably two of the best games in its current library for free. I don't even have anything snarky to say about it; that's just a sweet-ass deal and I can't believe it exists. Maybe I'll pick one up for my new nephew, who happens to be a monkey.

Yeah this is simply the best console bundle deal of ALL TIME! If you have waited for the right time to buy a PS3, this is it people!

Kinda makes me want to sell my copies of Killzone and Mgs4 with my PS3 and buy them all over again.

Jim should have written this, I'm sure HE would have found something derogatory to say.

This is a fantastic offer and if anyone is waiting to buy a PS3, you're going to NEED these two games anway so you might as well get to bestbuy and get one of these Asap.

Very interesting. The only 2 games i would ever buy for a PS3 are now packaged with it. I might actually buy me one now. :)

Hm...I might need to get that PS3 I've been waiting for. Or wait for that price cut so I don't have to get MGS4?

I think it's funny that these are the best game the console has to offer; an FPS and a cutscene game.

I'll wait for FF Versus XII thank you very much.

I bought my 80g PS3 when it was just bundled with Killzone 2 a few months ago...shoulda waited! This is a good deal with these 2 games!

That's a great deal right there! Free games for everyone!

Now I demand to see your nephew Topher.


@Galenmereth

A cutscene game? That's really all you can say about one of the best games of 2008? Wow great job copying the bullshit everyone says who hasn't played it.

If you're really waiting for FF Versus 12 you'll be waiting forever. I guess you were thinking about Versus 13 right?

Haha. None of Xbox 360's best games are shooters, huh?

Oh snap this might be the time that I buy a PS3. I've been waiting for the perfect opportunity for a while now and I THINK that this might be it. But its still $400. And I have other things that must be purchased. And I have a Xbox 360 which has some really good games coming out in the next couple months. Man, what a time to be gaming.

This is a terrific deal. I got mine for 320€ with LittleBigPlanet, which is probably even sweeter from a purely monetary standpoint, but given the choice I would've picked this in a heartbeat.

@Takeshi

Yes, thinking about Versus 13 (trying to be cool with roman numbers always fails, right?), and yes, that's all I have to say about MGS4; I tried it, I watched someone complete it, and I felt indifferent.

@aaronf

Personally, I don't think they are. Okay, sure, GTA4 is a shooter but it's also a lot more. GTA4 and Geometry Wars are probably the best games on the system, according to my tastes. BlazBlue looks awesome, though. I still play Super Smash Bros. Brawl a hell of a lot more than any game on any other system, though...

@Galenmereth: Neither of those are 360-only games, both are multi-plat. It's kind of like saying Madden is a great PS3 game.

Still cheaper to buy it directly from Sony without the pack-in games for $299 (after you sign up for the Sony Style card). Plus, no interest for 12 months.

Internet 1, Best Buy 0

@ Cuba Gooding Jr

I didn't say they were exclusives, did I? Those are simply the best games on that console, according to my opinion.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl, on the other hand, is exclusive to the Wii, and that is my favourite game series of all time, period.

Is that the current versions of the 80gig, or is it the old version that is Backwards Compatable?

Seems like a good deal anyhow.

That's a pretty good deal. I saw a K2 bundle in GAME over the weekend, for 300 British pounds. Still too much, I feel, even if it is bundled with one of this year's best games. The above deal is better, but I, like many, think MGS4 is all tits and no fondling.

@Hoborg: So the difference in the price of one and a half new games is really preventing you from owning one?

I have the feeling if the system were less than $300 right now, you would still write the exact same message. :)

that is really the best bundle for the PS3. MGS4 is still around $50 and KZ2 is $60, so this really makes the system purchase like $300 and 2 games you save 10-20 bucks!

Wow, amazing deal. This would explain why there was only one bundle left at best buy with Little Big Planet and Walle on bluray..........they were making room for this. Too bad this post wasnt 12 hours earlier, because my roommate just bought that last bundle because the best buy guy said no more were coming in.....probably because this was replacing it. OH well, he still got a good deal, and it will be nice to see more people getting a chance to play these two awesome games. Killzone 2 is really great, and MGS4 is just....amazing.

I've been needing a reason to buy a PS3. This may be a reason to do so. The fact that they're so expensive pretty much pays for itself when you have a system with that large of a HD, plus two excellent games, practically for free. Who needs a PS3 price drop when you can just buy this? Finally, Sony has made a sound marketing decision.

really still going for the "no games" thing. There are quite a few good ps3 exclusives out there to sate any gamers hunger. While these are certainly 2 great games they are by no means the ONLY games worth getting on the system take your xbox faggotry elsewhere.

This one still has no backwards compatibility right? Still not buying then. I don't wanna have to stack my fat PS2 on top of an even fatter PS3. Or vice versa.

Shoulda bought a launch 60 or 20 gig model. Backwards compatibility is sweet

Most of the major 360 exclusive franchises are shooters: Halo, Gears of War, Crackdown, etc.

I was almost suckered into this, well played Best Buy, well played.

Then I thought to myself: "Wait a minute, just because those are the only games worth getting(according to fanboys) doesn't mean I should get it now, I'll wait for the Winter price drop and save x-amount and put that towards a game that I actually care about, whatever that may be."

This looks sweet. I'd definitely pick up a PS3 now if I didn't already have one.

Thats a good fuckin bundle I would be sold on it if I didn't have a big shiny black thing already....I mean a ps3 of course.

@ Galenmereth

You would have to be a real idiot to think that your first comment wouldn't attract negative attention. Now go back to the depths of troll island.

What a good move, go Sony, this is the kinda shit you need to pull. Hopefully this sells some systems and gets more people playing these great games.

This is a pretty good deal and I want both of those games but I know that as soon as I buy one the slim will be announced along with a price drop. So having been able to wait till now I think I'll pass.
Kalmah's Avatar - Comment posted on 07/07/2009 00:36

Wow each game is still about $60. So, deduct $120 off 400 and I think it's safe to say the standard 80GB PS3 alone would cost $280.00. So, can we say Sony finally dropped the price of the PS3? I mean, those who have a PS3 will most likely buy these two games anyways... so don't think of it as a bundle, think of it as purchasing the PS3 for $280 and purchasing Killzone2 & MGS4 with it. I paid $600 for mine with no games (though I have backwards-compatibility) and I'm not complaining. This is a DAMN good deal, and people shouldn't be complaining either.

I find it really funny that you all jump on the "zomg it's an xbot!" bandwagon once somebody says something that isn't nice about the PS3. I'm a Wintendo fan if anything, and I've mentioned Super Smash Bros. Brawl bloody /twice/ as the best game ever.

Get your facts straight, Triplets.
