Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has announced that it will be releasing two new PlayStation 3 bundles in the territory to celebrate the launch of the new 80GB model.

The first bundle is scheduled to hit stores on September 10, and will contain an 80GB machine, two DualShock 3 control pads, in addition to a copy of Polyphony Digital’s critically acclaimed racer, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. The bundle will retail for approximately EUR 449.

Finally, and in a move presumably targeted at the French market, the second bundle will feature a 80GB PS3, a single DualShock 3 pad, and a copy of the film Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis on Blu-ray. Known as the ‘Movie Pack’, you’ll be able to pick this up from October 29 for EUR 399.

    Its all good.  Bundles are a good way of selling consoles.  It was the first starter pack bundle that pursuaded me to get a ps3.

    @3

    Whereas I'm glad you are a fellow PS3 fan, I have to say that I don't feel sorry for you.  Honestly, You had a looooong time to get a B/C version of the PS3.  I've had 2 myself (my first, a 60GB, was stolen).

    There are always bundles available from shops themselves, but I think there should always be Sony backed bundles, like said above   more bundles = more ps3 owners

    The Euro 449 doesn't seem like that great a deal, I would have thought it'd be closer to 420 Euro.

    @5 I got mine about the same time - 60GB a few months after launch and I love it because of B/C so id choose it over any of them today because I can get anew hardrive and any movie/game they include with it but they can't get B/C.

    Also I got Talladega Nights on blu ray with it.

    I personally feel ripped off by sony. I bought mine(40gb model) with 2 controllers, that was it and it cost me $700 Australian dollars. They then introduced free Ps3's with every Sony Bravia TV..... Now all these bundles with other great stuff at same price or even lower... Shouldnt us loyal Ps3 owners get some treatment since we bought the ps3's around the first year they came out?

    Btw i wanted the 60gb version but had no money at the time and then they stopped selling it thats y i dont have the B/C with ps2's...
