PS3 available for bundle only

Philip Wong | Mar 02, 2007

Following our earlier report on the Sony PlayStation 3 pre-order and launch promotion, fresh information has arrived indicating a game bundle pre-requisite for both programs. So if you are all charged up for that sleek-looking console, be prepared to cough out good some money for the games. This particularly is a potential sour grape for home theater enthusiasts looking at bagging the heavily subsidized Blu-ray player.

While we are still awaiting confirmation on the pre-order packages offered by the official 13 retail partners, Sony Singapore will be offering the console bundled with Ridge Racer 7 and Resistance: Fall of Man for S$963 (US$708.09). You could place your order with Sony from now till March 5 via its hotline at 65448600.

Alternatively, you could give a go at the 200 units reserved for the March 7 launch party. These will be sold bundled with any one of the 10 games at prices starting from S$42 (US$30.88). To sweeten the deal, you will have a chance to purchase either Genji: Days of the Blade or Mobile Suit Gundam target in Sight for S$1 (US$0.74) only.

If both deals are not attractive in your opinion, you may have to gamble on stock availability as Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong was unable to comment on this matter.
