you can still get the 500GB Assassin's Creed III Bundle

Edit: what was I thinking? AC3 doesn't even come out until the end of next month lol

The super slim PS3 is going to be flying off the shelves this holiday.

New hardware of the already most popular gaming console worldwide with some of the best games of all time? Sony is going to hit a home run.

Im surprised. I thought it was overpriced.
I guess Sony made the right call after all

[Ghost-Rhayne]

Well it's like the Vita bundles...The same price but a free game is effectively a $50 discount on the device. Like who would go and buy a console and no game? Well, it worlks out well if the bundled game is something you want. Sony need to do some other bundles leading upto Xmas.

They have that Assassins Creed III bundle for November. They will probably have one for PS Battle Royale in December.

Oh I dunno how I missed that post. Yeah that's a badass bundle. There is a FIFA 13 bundle in the EU.

IT is. Its possible to buy the 12GB version and a 500GB drive from anywhwere for less than the £250 Sony want for the 500GB version. Total cost ould be £235 and since i don't want ass creed.

Damn..That's pretty cool. Hoping to pick up this bundle soon.

Sony y u no stock better?

So if the item sold out and didn't break top ten.

You put the two and two together, you understand that Amazon didn't have enough units.

LOVE MATH.

Yeah, not surprised they sold out. They are just starting production and ramping up. Not enough to sell yet. Give it time and it will hit the top 10 for the holiday.

That's how I read it as well...still good it sold out but I doubt they had more than a few hundred units. I still do not get why they didn't drop the price...heck even $249 would have been a big thing going into the holiday.

I get the "added value" but meh thats just my opinion I suppose.

Exactly! Give Amazon more units to sell and I am sure it would break the top 10. If the total units they have to sell is not enough to make the top 10, then why even mention the top 10? lol

[AaronSOLDIER]

Probably haven't shipped many, but it's going to sell regardless without the price drop since its a revision, Sony was smart not to drop the price this fall, probably Spring we'll see it drop to $199.

[DeviousOne]

Good for Sony....I wonder how much profit they make off each SS PS3's sold

[coolguy]

this is awesome it selling out sony will make some money back and there will be plenty of new PS3 owners

[AaronSOLDIER]

Probably the same as Vita, around $100ish (can't see them costing any more than $200 to make)

[Jrmond12]

Does that mean that we are anticipating PS4?

[TGO]

Well that makes zero sense

[DeviousOne]

Well let's say amazon has 300 SS ps3 and sell all of them technically they did "sell out" but it was such a low number of units it doesn't make the top ten. Could be a PR stunt

Could be. Sold out=desirable. Damn now I really need one..
