The company also announced the April 2008 availability of DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller in North America. To coincide with the much-anticipated North American launch of Metal Gear Solid®4: Guns of the Patriots in late Q2 2008, SCEA will introduce a PS3 bundle, which will include an 80GB PS3, the upcoming blockbuster Metal Gear Solid®4: Guns of the Patriots and a DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller for $499 (MSRP). SCEA also announced the June 2008 availability of the limited-edition God of War® PSP Entertainment Pack for $199.99 (MSRP).

The stand-alone version of God of War: Chains of Olympus launches on March 4, 2008. “Working closely with our retail and publishing partners and sharing our hardware and software roadmaps at Destination PlayStation gives us a great opportunity to outline some key milestones for the year. In response to incredible demand, we will be manufacturing more 80GB PS3s for North America and the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots 80GB PS3 bundle is an ideal way to offer that continued value to our consumers,” said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA. “With Blu-ray having won the format war, our stellar software line-up and a broad product portfolio, we will continue to drive the incredible momentum we’ve been generating since last fall.” SCEA will introduce the DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller for the first time in North America in April 2008 for $54.95 (MSRP). DUALSHOCK 3, which incorporates both rumble and motion sensing SIXAXIS™ technologies, maintains the award-winning design and precise, responsive features of PlayStation controllers. The added rumble feature, combined with the SIXAXIS system, enhances the gamer experience with more interactive, intuitive and immersive game play experience and will work with more than 100 current PS3 titles. In additional news coming from Destination PlayStation, SCEA announced Metal Gear Solid®4: Guns of the Patriots will be available in North America in late Q2 2008. A Metal Gear Online “Starter Pack” will also be launched to support online game play. Gamers can select a single player experience or take the action online with up to 16 players and battle it out using the latest weapons and stealth techniques. For those eager to take on Solid Snake’s nemesis, Liquid Ocelot, a nationwide pre-sell promotion will enable gamers to pre-order Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and be guaranteed access to a multiplayer beta test for Metal Gear Online scheduled for late April.

expensive....

cheap....

just right...

lol...

lol

i say its cheap cause it comes with a free blu ray player since HD DVD lost the format war,

but then its also just right since we need money to buy it in first place,

now about expensive, well to ps3 hater, porbably it is expensive since they bought it for 499 and they can't afford it again... (god excuse boys)

$54.95 for the new DUALSHOCK 3 SIXAXIS controller is a pretty good deal considering the 360 Controller with rechargeable kit lists for $69.99 ea and doesn't have motion sensing.

WithoutPrejudiceGamer: Nice spin. Really. Why is Sony charging extra for last gen technology again??? We all know all 3 console manufacturers make a killing on controllers. You would figure Sony would be nice enough to not charge extra for something that should have been included in the first place right???

blacktiger : Free Blu-Ray player huh??? Can I have some of what your smoking. The Blu-Ray player isnt free for anyone. Son ias paying for it. Your paying for it. Remember the $600.00 price tag. Or the $500.00 price tag? Even that $400.00 price tag all have built in costs for Blu-Ray. Sony may be sellign thier consoles for a loss, but the consumer is still paying ofr Blu-Ray.

BTW do you own a PS3 yet??? Last time I checked you hadnt bought one yet. Has that changed???

@ Pimp Daddy Why are you taking so many shots at sony lately? I have a ps3 blacktiger. psn id kungfuRABBIT anyone feel free to add me.
