Sony has slowly but surely been phasing out its PS3 SKUs with larger and larger hard drives, although sometimes Sony has introduced a mid-range model like the 40GB SKU. This time round, Sony will introduce a new 160GB PlayStation 3 to the masses, and this one will come as a limited edition bundle with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. I personally think that the 60GB PS3 which originally came out had the best functionality, including backwards compatibility that relied on hardware instead of software emulation that throws more than a single monkey wrench.

The bundle will come with the following items :-

160GB PS3 system – The 160GB PS3 is a complete entertainment system comprising a Blu-ray Disc player, HDMI output, an integrated Wi-Fi connection, and Cell Broadband Engine.

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune – A 400-year-old clue found in the coffin of Sir Francis Drake sets a modern-day fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, on an exploration for the fabled treasure of El Dorado, leading to the discovery of a forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The search turns deadly when Drake becomes stranded on the island and hunted by mercenaries. Outnumbered and outgunned, Drake and his companions must fight to survive as they begin to unravel the terrible secrets hidden on the Island.

PAIN PLAYSTATION Network Voucher – PAIN boldly tackles a rarely explored area of video-gaming … comedy. The unique mechanic of the game allows the player to load a character into a human-sized, ultra-powerful slingshot, and fire the character into an active, physics-controlled environment, filled with precarious and humorous situations. Download PAIN from PLAYSTATION Store to your PS3 system with the included voucher.

DUALSHOCK 3 Wireless Controller – DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller provides the most intuitive game play experience with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive SIXAXIS motion sensing technology.

I can safely say this is meant for first time buyers, as you don’t just “upgradeâ€� your previous console purchase by throwing money around just like that.
