Looks like that is best option for PS3 buyers so far since it gives you an extra controller, even if it is 3rd party.

I'm disappointed that Most Wanted/SSX bundle hasn't showed up in any of the ads. I was going to buy MW anyway.

My friends thinking about grabbing both this and a $200 360, it's probably a better bet to just go to Best Buy where they have both instead of trying to hit up Toys R Us first for the extra controller, right?

Why not just get the infamous and uncharted bundle and buy most wanted separately for $25-$30? The infamous bundle has essentially 5 games(including infamous festival of blood). You can sell them if you don't want them and your total cost would still be at most $230.

Can I just say, I'd ritualistically murder a small child to never have to hear anyone talk about how ugly the super slims are again?

I'd play a console variant shaped like a piece of shit colored neon green if it was cheaper.

And you'd think any true "Cheapassgamer" would ascribe to a similar philosophy given how little what your console looks like matters.

True, but it's just that extra hassle of selling. And I did kind of want to give SSX a shot.

You aren't going to see that bundle in the BF ads. That bundle you mentioned is a Holiday Bundle and will be available in December. Unlike the BF bundle, the Holiday Bundle isn't likely to be discounted...

Sheesh, the original slim 320 bundles are still $300 on amazon, and they come with crappier games. For the same price, Amazon offers the 500 gb super slim with ACIII.
I guess they think they can get rid of the older models w/o discounting, even though they still have a ton in stock.

Its like an extra 10-15 minutes to trade them into a store.

Any options for those of us who want the Slim and not the Super Slim? I'd like to try and get one on the cheap on BF. Not as worried about the included games since I've already played 3/5 they're offering.

Any chance they'd price match the SS deals with a Slim console?

You best give SSX a shot. Such a good game. I enjoyed it very much and it's up there for me with SSX 3. Yeah there are some things I didn't like about the game, but I'm happy that EA gave the series another shot when before they pretty much said they don't care about reviving it.

Though for inFamous (Festival of Blood) he would have to find somebody to buy it cause I read that it's actually a DLC voucher. The rest would be on the disc games though. It's probably best for him to put them on craigslist.

Probably not. They only match exact items and since the games are in the box and not attached, it looks less likely. That and I'm not sure who would PM it anyways since not many places are up for PMing BF prices.

Thinking about getting a super slim bundle. I still have my 120 GB slim. With a full HDD and what appears to be longer loading times, I might want to upgrade. After I trade my slim into GS, it should only cost me about $130 for the system + 2 games I don't need so I can sell those and bring the cost under $100. Decisions, decisions

With the exception of GameStop, practically every store has had their BF ads posted and there aren't any Slim BF deals. Any deals that you might find would probably be store specific, because not every place have Slims in stock.

The BF PS3 bundle is the only one designated to sell for $200 for BF, and will likely go up in price afterward.

IMO GameStop may have a deal on a used PS3 Slims on BF, since they were very aggressive in acquiring them over the past month. But I think that will be about it...

You should probably remove the Rumor part form the title. Having the words rumor and confirmed together kinda seems contradictory

Here's an ok deal from Walmart: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=331559

Someone on there also mentioned Sam's Club getting rid of their inventory @ $200 if you can find a local store with any in stock

Hastings: $199.99

It is in Bestbuy's ad but will it be available via Bestbuy.com?

In case anyone missed it, Amazon has listed this as a Lightning Deal for Thursday.

Why would you do that? Just get a new hard drive for the one you have already.
