Sony Bundle Package.

[Shoogar]

Now, yesterday I was on my way to JB-HiFi to go pick up a copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops, when I saw something that caught my eye.

On the way to JB there is a Sony shop and in the front window was a box with a list of 3 bundle packs, they consisted of;

New: 320GB Ps3 Slim-line + 2 games
New: ' ' + 3 games
New: ' ' + GT5?

Im not 100% sure if my eyes were deceiving me or not, so I am going back there either today or tomorrow to go take a picture and ask the in-store manager if he can give me an update on the release date of GT5.

Now, just for future reference, I live in Australia, Victoria. So if I do get a release date, it will probably be 1-2 days AFTER it is released in America/Japan.

I'll keep you updated on what I find when I head back. This could be what we're all waiting for.

I hope he can give you a release date. Even though I don't trust the accuracy of retailers but still!!! Its something.

What? You couldn't hit the brakes, or put it in reverse? Kidding, keep us posted

The bundle has been on playstations website for some time, i even made a thread about it 2 weeks ago. They won't give you a release date.

Does this mean that PD could be waiting for a 320GB model to come out before they release GT? Or does it mean that Sony are waiting for PD to come out with GT5 before they release the 320Gb model?

And maybe a little 14 year old charm could get me a date.

Is it the Sony shop on 'warrigal' road near the corner of 'high street road' in the suburb, Ashwood.

 

[Storm Chamber]

They can do this AFTER it releases in a single package.

Ahh, okay. I can not wait till GT5 comes out.

I live in NZ and I asked one of the JB guys a few days ago. He said that headoffice has told staff that it comes out 30th November. I'm not sure if the same goes for Australia but it's all under the same company so I think it's quite likely... So just my 2c

Yesterday I also asked one of the Jb hi-fi staffs in Auckland city and he/she replied that the game will arrive next month (December).

Plus I asked the Eb staff and they responded: "GT5 will be out on the 30th of November". I asked if Sony has confirmed the date and they said "no".

Bummer. 👎

I asked the neighbours dog yesterday when GT5 would be released - he didn't say anything just dropped a massive turd and walked away.... kind of similar to Sony's response

A bundle deal will surely be inevitable - I have only heard of the one Japan is getting with the titanium blue console but I think that is Japan only at this stage.

EDIT
Just a note for all you Kiwi GT fans out there, NZGamer has a competition giving away 10 copies of Gran Turismo 5

http://nzgamer.com/ps3/competitions/...turismo-5.html

Interestingly the competition ends on November 29th so maybe the game will be out by then or that week??

And just so you know, the 320Gb slimline model has been out for a few months already. Got a shiny bit of proof sitting behind me

They may have received copies of the game to distribute as advertising.

Do JB or EB or anyone have a demo of GT5?

 

[CoolColJ]

A few Aussie shops have listed GT5 as available on 26th November....

Basicly the EU release date that was shown a few days back

 

[grbmrdj]

EBGames has it listed as 30 Nov, and if JB also wrote 30th, I don't think this will a random fill in date.

Yeah, i know retailers are like that. I asked a fella at GAME and he said 5th December and he seemed preety confident about it. So im standing by this date as its release .

 

[gtone339]

None in the city yet.

 

[SkunkyZA]

Local site has been advertising a bundle for ages already.

Top right.

 

[BitCypher]

think he was referring the the japan and euro blue gt5 bundle

Not that i'm aware of... Don't think any retailer in NZ has a demo of GT5 yet is there?

Here in The Czech Republic, Sony said nothing about a bundle officially and voilá, we have one with PlayStation Slim 320 GB: proof of a bundle in The Czech Republic. It is already available for sale.

Proof of a bundle in Spain was found too. (pic taken during this event)

​

I believe that citizens of other countries will receive the same care. Just look around.

Do you Mean this Version ?

320GB PS3 With the CE Included ?

**Note** Standard Version I bought Last Night to tide me Over till the Bundle got here

There's no better evidence than somebody from the community has it in his hands! Thanks for sharing your photos! 👍

But I noticed that in Spain the SLS on the PS3 box cover is red, not silver. Maybe it differs in content? 💡 Were there two DualShock3 controllers present in the package? Some Czech sellers offer the bundle with two controllers or with a chance to buy a second controller for half a price with this bundle.

omg...This is beautiful! I was actually torn between this one and the Blue edition, I had to pick up the blue edition even though its not 320gb, I needed a Japanese dvd player.

I'm getting mine by next week, hopefully. But I do feel sad that I'm a bit left behind compared to the rest of the world... also I saw a lot of other stores here selling this, but I already pre-ordered mine so I just have to be patient and play Forza 3 in the meantime lol.

Hello Guys,

I was shopping this morning at Best Buy and saw the U.S. Bundle for Gran Turismo 5.

So if you are looking for the game and the box, Best Buy sells it.

EDIT - Items Included:

-GT5 Game
-PS3 160gb
-Blu Ray Movie "Grown Ups"

It seems like Sony flooded markets around the world with different bundles. This one comes from this topic.

 

[andrewz]

This is the bundle anyone can get in The Czech republic. One of the most trusted e-shops. Czech Computer, automatically adds 1x DualShock 3 for adequate price increase. Other retailers offer you to buy 1x DualShock 3 for half a price.

Sorry for breaking the page width, but I'm unable to shrink the image by HTML. Any idea?
