250gb PS3 slim bundles due October 2009!!!

Posted on 01. Oct, 2009 by in Games, News, Peripherals

So, since the launch of a very successful 120gb PS3 slim a month back, the slim has sold over 1 million units worldwide. We all know this to be true, and we all heard speculation of the 250gb slim models to be introduced as bundles with exciting new games such as Uncharted 2 as well as other forthcoming chart toppers. Since then we’ve learnt that this was not speculation, but in fact reality, however we weren’t exactly sure of the bundle details. This, however, has changed and the details of the new bundles are as follows:

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today announced a line-up of PlayStation®3 (PS3™) bundles for the holiday season, consisting of a PS3 with a 250GB hard disc drive (HDD) and one of a selection of software and content, including FIFA 10 and Need for Speed™ Shift, Uncharted 2, GT5 in addition to a vast host of top selling platinum titles

The bundles will be available throughout retail in South Africa from October 2009

Following the great success of the new, smaller, 120GB PS3, which sold over 1m units worldwide in its first three weeks on sale, the PS3 model with 250 HDD has the same hardware specifications as the current model, but with greater storage space, to offer consumers even more choice. ThePS3 system with 250GB HDD, with its larger storage capacity, will allow owners to take full advantage of the incredible software line-up and the many multimedia functions available on PS3, whether that is storing and viewing your family photographs, listening to your entire music collection in crisp quality, or watching your favourite home videos or TV shows. More storage allows you to download more of the latest games and add-ons from PlayStation®Store, as well as movies in both HD and SD from the PlayStation®Network video delivery service when it launches later this year, without worrying about running out of space.

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. announced that retail sales of its new PlayStation®3 (PS3®) (CECH-2000A) computer entertainment system achieved a total of 1 million units*1 worldwide in the 3 weeks since its launch on September 1, 2009 *2. The expansion of the PS3 platform is being accelerated along with the introduction of more and more new and exciting software titles as well as the enhancement of PlayStation®Network.

So it’s looking extremely good for the PS3, bundles including new great games such as Uncharted 2, Need for Speed: Shift, as well as other hit Platinum games, the future looks bright. And for those silly enough not to have bought a PS3 yet, I think it’s a good time to get in on the fun once these bundles hit shelves this October!!!
