Coming Friday, January 18th, Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe will be releasing a new bundle in stride to push the console further into the success zone.

With a hip name of “Pick N Mix” (Atleast Sony believes it to be hip), the new bundle will include the 40GB PS3 alone with a choice of two first party titles. The price will be set at £349.99 which is a bargain considering that the base price for the 40GB console by itself is £299.99, with the “Pick N Mix” bundle you get two first party PS3 titles for only 50 extra euro.

The list of available first party titles to chose from includes:
- Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
- Formula One
- L.A.I.R.
- Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
- Singstar (With microphone)
- Motorstorm
- Resistance: Fall of Man
- Folklore
- Warhawk (With headset)
- Genji: Days of the Blade

There are no details to how long this bundle will last. So if you are without a PS3, you might want to jump on this deal.

    Yea, that's actually a REALLY great deal! Hopefully they'll run a similar promotion in the U.S. to spike more sales.

    "with the “Pick N Mix” bundle you get two first party PS3 titles for only 50 extra euro."

    you mean ...for only 50 extra pounds, england uses pounds not euro's

    and since games cost £35 in england whats the point your not saving much at all, just use the other bundles that every shop has e.g
    http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0646589948.1200217968@@@@&BV_EngineID=cceladdmmljfhfkcflgceggdhhmdfoh.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=401727&category_oid=-32023
    this is pcworlds bundle you get a free pro evo soccer game so thats £299 for a 40 gig and controller and pro evo game, you can get another game for £335 this pic n mix things a rip off

    Um...as a sidebar...Sarad...your grammar is going to heck again...numerous mistakes in there and not least of all you refer to it being in the UK and the price of £299 and £349 yet you then mention it's only an extra 50 Euros...we don't use Euros here...get your facts straight and make sure you use your spelling and grammar checks.

    they should get unchatred and ratchet that would be a sweet combo!!

    Is this new news? Most UK stores are offering 2 games for that price anyway. The only thing new in that list is R+C, Unchartered and Warhawk. I reckon if they throw in an extra controller that would sweeten the deal.

    I tink they have to improve. Price is still too high. It should be 299 with 2 games. That could boost sales in the uk

    Sounds good except for the fact that most retailers already do this. Well they do it for one game (i think), so effectively you will be paying £50 extra for one game, wich is pants. Retailers will probably drop the price to £330ish.

     

    Oh by the way, it's 50 extra pounds, not euros.

    Nice deal for those in the UK.  Though, really, why haven't you got a PS3 yet?
