If you don’t already have a PlayStation 3 and your heart isn’t a deep, deep black, consider Best Buy’s current offer, featuring one of the better value-added bundles, featuring both Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet and Pixar’s Wall-E on Blu-ray.
That makes the actual hardware somewhat of a steal, considering these are two must have (or at least should have) titles that will play on your PS3. Asking price is $US399 USD, likely part of Sony’s efforts to clear out remaining PlayStation 3 80 GB stock before issuing a hardware revision and cheaper base price, as rumoured.
Really the only way to top this is to put a puppy in the box.
Kotaku AU Note: North American PS3 bundle is North American.

Here’s something that *is* relevant. I bought a PS3 on the weekend from JB HiFi:
PS3 console
inFamous
Assassin’s Creed
Mega Drive Collection
HDMI cable
$699
They also have a deal going that if you buy a platinum game, you can buy a dual shock controller for $50 (normally retails for $90).

Do try to keep up.

Seriously though there’s no point posting American news like this on Kotaku AU.

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 5:16 PMproblem with that is if we only had the articles that David posts, kotaku au would be a very boring place. kotaku is mainly made up of US posts. most of which are relevant to the world. some are not. we are lucky to have David posting AU specific articles. but kotaku AU wouldnt survive with just those posts.
