This reminds me of what Sony did with the PSP. The “Value” pack that game out included the memory stick, Spiderman 2, the case, and other things. Then a few years later they came out with a 199 version which was basically stripped down.

I would have just gotten a 1 gig stick anyway, and I didn’t need the case or SM2 at the time, so just save me 50 bucks and i’ll end up buying other stuff.

I agree Fragloser. A price cut would have been better. Give consumers the choice to buy whatever games they want.

I think that they should have discounted the PS3 instead of bundling it with 2 games. That seems like a good idea, except resistance is the only really good game out now for PS3 (this winter will be good). However, motorstorm is meh.

Also, I think that minors (such as me) parents will be uneasy if they see a M rated game bundled with a PS3, and may not buy the system for the kid because of the violence in the game. Personally, my mom lets me buy rated M games, and I don’t have extreme aggression or anything, I turned out just fine.

This was a unwise decision by Sony, I would have just discounted the system and let people pick the games they want in the system, instead of forcing games on them.
