Peopel frequently complained about the lack of bundles available a few years back, and it looks like the gaming industry certainly heard their cry. Not only are consoles personalized with color and sometimes even stamped with game art, but bundles have returned with a vengeance. Following the trend are these two recently announced bundles, which will both go on sale during the month of March in Europe.
One is geared directly at movies (which I find a bit odd, but when I think about it I probably watch more movies on my PS3 than I play games on it) and the other at gaming. The movie pack includes a 40B PS3, Casino Royale, 300 and Spider-Man 3 on Blu-Ray along with a Sixaxis controller. This pack will retail for €399 (roughly $600 US.)
The game pack will contain the 40GB PS3, a copy of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and a Sixaxis controller. It will run the same price as the movie pack. Sony UK confirmed that the latter bundle would also be released in the UK, but that there were no plans to release the movie pack there.
The Wii is the only console not to fall prey to the multi-SKU fad. I wonder if that will change in future due to all this bundle madness, or if they will stick with the standalone console?

“This is bollocks. Why the bloody hell wouldn’t they include the DualShock 3 in either of these bundles? SCEE can take their Sixaxis and shove it up their collective arse. Fucking cunts.”
I am British so “This is bollocks. Why the bloody hell wouldn’t they include the DualShock 3 in either of these bundles? SCEE can take their Sixaxis and shove it up their collective arse. Fucking cunts.”
Like the hot girls with their lovely British accents...their chocolate is way better than ours....that's about all I can think of. And yes Europe = England
