Sony Shows off the 160 GB PS 3
Posted by Wade "TNT" Hinkle, 108 days ago Aug 20, 2008 12:43

Sony finally confirms what many have already known, some rumors starting back in January of this year. The PS 3 160GB version  will be available in November for $499.99. It will be in a limited edition Uncharted: Drakes Fortune bundle. The bundle will include the game, a PSN voucher for PAIN, and a Dualshock 3 wireless controller.

The Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune PS3 bundle includes the following components:

-- 160GB PS3 system -- The 160GB PS3 is a complete entertainment system comprising a Blu-ray Disc player, HDMI output, an integrated Wi-Fi connection, and Cell Broadband Engine.

-- Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune -- A 400-year-old clue found in the coffin of Sir Francis Drake sets a modern-day fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, on an exploration for the fabled treasure of El Dorado, leading to the discovery of a forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The search turns deadly when Drake becomes stranded on the island and hunted by mercenaries. Outnumbered and outgunned, Drake and his companions must fight to survive as they begin to unravel the terrible secrets hidden on the Island.

-- PAIN Playstation Network Voucher* -- PAIN boldly tackles a rarely explored area of video-gaming ... comedy. The unique mechanic of the game allows the player to load a character into a human-sized, ultra-powerful slingshot, and fire the character into an active, physics-controlled environment, filled with precarious and humorous situations. Download PAIN from PLAYSTATION Store (http://store.playstation.com/) to your PS3 system with the included voucher.

-- DUALSHOCK 3 Wireless Controller -- DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller provides the most intuitive game play experience with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive SIXAXIS motion sensing technology.

The additional storage space of the 160GB model will benefit consumers, as several highly anticipated Playstation Network and PS3 games along with add-on content will be available for download soon, including PAIN Amusement Park, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation, and The Last Guy. The bundle is also a great option for consumers who want to utilize Playstation Network’s video delivery service, which offers new blockbuster movies and popular TV shows for download on an ongoing basis.
