Avoid Playstation 3 Bundles, Just Reserve Playstation 3
Yes, the headlines read: Avoid Playstation 3 bundles and just reserve or pre-order your Playstation 3. I'll tell you the reason why.
Do you remember when Microsoft's Xbox 360 came out of the market last November 2005? While it generally costs around $500 initially, there was no Xbox 360 console to be found. In its place were Xbox 360 bundles, complete with some games and a 42-inch plasma screen television. And the price is somewhere $6000. So you go to a store like Wal-Mart, ask a proprietor about a console available and he leads you to a television set. You want to buy a console. Fine, but you need to buy the set, which includes that damned plasma television.
The practice of bundling is a common strategy, and a perfect one to boost any retailers' sale of a specific commodity. And because Sony had allowed the retailers to name their final price on the Playstation 3, plus exacerbated by the fact that they produced only a handful against a bursting worldwide demand, it really upped the demand… and the price. So much that retailers will risk turning off potential customers because there would always be that lone fish that will take the massive bait.
The Playstation 3 bundle, called the Playstation 3 Bundle Palooza, is available at the European internet retailer Play.com for worldwide demand. It costs $1000 including three games: Warhawk, Formula One 06, and SingStar. Have you met someone, in your entire lifetime, which loves doing racing, takes challenges on aerial dogfights, and sings like a cuckoo?
You can always get this Playstation 3 bundle, though. And if you do, you'd want to get it early, Play.com has made it certain that the stocks will be very limited, and you'd want to have it before Christmas which is something Play.com isn't particularly keen to promise.
But I'd recommend that you'd reserve a console. In time, Sony will have enough materials to manufacture each system cheaply and hopefully they will slash the price further. Until then, its not worth to pay a price of $1000 for an over hyped system, even if your grandma loves to sing that much.
Plus with the current crop of games and the sub par functionality of Playstation network, these should be enough for you to stay your hand from reaching your wallet. The best titles for Playstation 3 I can count on one hand minus a thumb and two digits. Would you want to pay $1000 so you could play Resistance: Fall of Man and Call of Duty 3 amidst singing and dogfighting?
Just do the reservations and avoid the Playstation 3 bundle.
My two cents.
