 Bundling is not a new marketing strategy, but one that has the video game press in the US somewhat excited. With many sites picking up on a rumoured Best-Buy bundle as the equivalent of Sony breaking their firm stance of no price drop for the PS3. Bundling the PlayStation exclusives Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4 with an 80GB PS3 gives a headline value pricing of US$299 for the PS3 hardware. Whilst both Killzone 2 and MGS4 are two great titles, sales of the yet to be confirmed bundle may be tempered by consumers believing the associated rumoured new PS3 hardware design destined for a [northern] autumn announcement. So the question becomes, do you grab a PS3 now, at US399.99, with two high quality hard-core titles bundled in, or take a chance on the expected US$100 price cut and release of the sexy (!?!
