    Any news on price for this black Friday bundle?

    Unless it's a great deal, I'll probably not wait and go ahead and get the Uncharted 3 bundle with 320GB PSP3 when it's released on 11/1/11.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    It says $165 in savings, so everyone believes that it will be $249.99. No official price yet since it just leaked.

    Meh, 250 is still a little steep.

    In case this turns out to be a good deal, any import options? :/

    You realise an imported PS3 would play no blu-rays from your region right?

    ...good point.

    Why can't you make good points without sounding like an asshole though?

    Wow, that is a good deal (great if you must), but I'm not sure if it'd be worth the trouble and headache to get up early, sit in traffic, wait in line, work your way through crowds, and ruin your day, to get this bundle. I waited in line for about 25 minutes at a Walmart on tax-free weekend (my mistake, didn't know it was tax-free weekend) and I barely made it out without having a melt down.

    Walmart released their Black Friday Ad at Midnight and the PS3 Black Friday Bundle will be $199.96 there. Their BF sale starts at 10pm on Thanksgiving. Arkham City, Battlefield 3, Gears 3, and some other games will only be $28 as well. I'm gonna try and pick up a 360 since the GPU in mine overheated, which is causing me to see green artifacts on menus.

    Playstation 3 160 GB Console w/ Bonus - $199.96
    Xbox 360 4 GB Slim w/ Gears 3, 3 Month Live, & $50 Gift Card - $199.99 - Edit: This is online only.
    Xbox 360 w/ Kinect & $50 Gift Card - $199.96
    Xbox Live 3 Month Sub. Card - $12.00

    Not true, my korean ps3 will play almost any blu-ray; most discs are released region free these days: http://regionfreemovies.com/. It just won't play out of region DVDs. And are those prices online as well?

    Are you serious? You do realise US and korea have the same BD region (A) right?
    Out of the 61 BD's I have only 22 are region free; most of them cause 75% of those are from a domestic publisher that so happen to release them region free, so no most discs aren't released region free these days; at all.

    They were last year. Amazon will most likely match them as well. That's where I plan to order from.

    Since I'm here, Best Buy released their Black Friday ad this morning. The PS3 Black Friday bundle is $199.99 there as well.

    http://bfads.net/Ad/Best-Buy-2011

    Assassin's Creed Revelations for $34.99 only 10 days after it's release and Need For Speed the Run for $29.99 10 days after it's release (they both come out on 11/15). Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City, Gears of War 3, and Battlefield 3 will be $29.99 also. Hopefully Amazon matches Best Buy again like they did last year.

    I said almost...I have played a few european blu-rays. Notice I said almost all the ones I had. And yes, I know they are both Region A. Wow, I am beginning to agree with Arch, which is scary.

    Even if you say almost your situation is entirely different, you have a Region A player in a Region A area; that you have somehow procured bd's of a different region that didn't play is irrelevant.
    Arch's situation would become having a Region A player in a Region B area...you see where I'm going with this right?
    I may sound like an asshole, but that's only cause your comment wasn't thought out very well.

    One does not exist, since there are examples where it's not possible for it to happen. (if you have a 4GB+ movie file, it won't move. Trophies will have to be redownloaded, to name a few).

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I used that to transfer my data from my PHAT PS3 to my SLIM PS3

    Technically you can download you data to an external HDD (that needs to be formatted at that moment)... then you replace the hdd on the PS3 with the new one and transfer the data from the external hdd to the new PS3 one... formatting again.

    It's for backing up data, but it's not a complete backup.

    It's mostly for saves and shit. The settings and the actual OS are located internally on some non-removable storage.

    The 4GB limit is due to the fact that you have to connect an external HDD to the PS3 in order to back things up - and the PS3 can only read FAT32.
