Amazon France have listed a new silver PlayStation 3 bundle.
The 320GB console will launch on August 14th, will cost €299.99 and will feature a shiny silver stand, a shiny silver controller and a not shiny, not silver copy of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
It has been rumoured that Sony were holding back the launch of the “PS3 Super Slim” due to high stock levels of current PS3 models so it seems an odd time to launch yet another (non standard) PS3 model onto the market.

I managed to snag a brand new one of these with 2 controllers from Game a few months back for £150, wasn’t sure how the silver would look but I much prefer it to the black! The only thing I couldn’t find was the silver vertical stand so looks like i’ll need to import it!

I had to import my official Sony Slim stand for £30 from the US. Whilst I could have got a third party one for cheaper, it looks great! Annoyingly Amazon.com have them but you can’t buy certain things from their US site when you’re in the UK. It was stupid I couldn’t get one over here as it was when the PS3s got their price drop last year and were advertised everywhere, pictured with the vertical stand!!

And it should be joined by red and white ones too:

I really like the red – although others seem to dislike it – however I’m going to hold off replacing my Fat in case the rumours are true about the new model.
MadJunkBoy
ohhhhh there is a red one?
must get me one of those sometime =)
really like my red controller, but i think the green one is much cooler. anyone have the green one?
Youles
Is that the Killzone 3 controller?

Why is there never any RPGs included in console bundles? As i swear that they never do them. It’s always a FPS. Anyway, the PS3 silver looks decent and i bloody hope it won’t be another dust magnet. *looks at his fat black 80GB PS3 that keeps getting covered in dust despite how many times i get rid of the dust*
Suspect it will be an utter bar steward when it is sunny due to the sun reflecting off it and straight into your face thus causing you to die on a boss that you have been trying to defeat for the past month just as you are about to kill it. Plus 300 euros is a bit too much as you can get 320GB PS3s for less then that i think. :)

I don’t think it would be the best marketing strategy if they started bundling PS3’s with rocket launchers.
The Lone Steven
But a lot of FPS gamers would love a real rocket launcher. :p Why not just include nerf versions of RPGs? ;)

€299.99? That still looks/sounds to much to your normal buyer :-/ Come on SONY a €199.99 Euro PS3 would fly off the shelf big time! ! ! :P (+ a £149 UK + $199 US PS3)
Erroneus
Well this pretty much kills every chances of seeing the super slim on Gamescom, guess Sony do need to empty stock of the old ones first.

yuk yuk yuk. Once you go black, you never go back as they say.

I went from Black to Silver – am I racist? :P
The Lone Steven
No but if you went from black to silver to red to white to purple to grey, then that is racist. Somehow. O-o
MadJunkBoy
i don’t think bilbo_bobbins is talking about PS3s…
Bilbo_bobbins
ha ha MadjunkBoy got it in the end.
