250 gb PS3 slim bundle

Archive: 17 posts


Well, what do we have here? No sooner do we get a 250GB Xbox 360 on the horizon does this image land in our tip box, showing a PlayStation 3 slim bundle for Uncharted 2 that just so happens to have that 250GB hard drive we spotted in the FCC last month. We've been able to independently confirm that it's legit, but beyond that we've got no clue when it'll be announced or any price / release date information. We wouldn't be surprised to see this hit stores in mid-October alongside Uncharted 2, but that's just a guess on our part. With any luck, SCE exec Kaz Hirai will be shedding some light at his Tokyo Game Show keynote next week -- c'mon Sony, don't keep us in the dark too long.

Update: Joystiq points us to this rumor from last week that Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed II, and Gran Turismo 5 bundles are possibly slated for the UK in October for ?299 ($494), just ?50 more than the current 120GB model.

Update 2: We just got off the line with SCEA, who has denied the photo and told us quite plainly that there's no bundles being planned for America, but that the rep can't speak for other regions (e.g. Europe, Japan) -- not surprising, of course, you can't believe everything you read on the internet, right?

Got $185? http://www.pcconnection.com/IPA/Shop/Product/Detail.htm?sku=9208983&oext=1038A&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=9208983

300 is waaaaaay more than enough though. If anyone who buys a slim (which already has 120GB) they are either A: Rich and just wasting money, B: An idiot, or C: don't know how to manage their space.

I have like 25 movies and 3 full seasons of this show (36 1 hour long episodes. equivalent to 18 movies), and I have 220 GB's free. All that only took up 80 GB's, and I can easily delete all those movies as I've already watched them.

If it's SATA 2.5" it will fit.

It isn't a 2.5" it's a 3.5" just uses tech pioneered in 2.5" drives

http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Hitachi/0A37594/


HiVERT technology was pioneered on 2.5-inch drives to help maximize battery life, but also works for this 3.5-inch hard drive to help minimize power consumption.

As my previous posts link mentioned they've only just got 2.5" hdd's over 500gb.

But a 3.5, will not fit in your PS3.

And like I said before, total waste of money. The 120 GB that comes with the current slim is waaaaay more than enough.
