RicaneliteHot Shots bundle with the PS3
The PS3’s biggest game yet over in Japan is just about a month away from release, and, sure enough, Sony isn’t being quiet about it. Following a heavily promoted downloadable demo of Minna no Golf 5 (known as Hot Shots Golf 5 oustide of Japan), Sony has announced a special PS3 package to coincide with the game’s release.
The bundle comes combined with a PS3 console, Hot Shots 5 with a new slick box it will be going on sale in major retails in Japan on 7/26 at a cost of 61,980 yen for a 60 Gig version and 51,980 yen for a 20 Gig version. Now this announcement opens my eyes a bit and it is not the bundle but it seems that Sony has not fully given up on there 20gig version of there console. Which I thought they have done a couple of months back. Now Sony has not given a full comment on this. But overall the price of the bundle represents a savings of nearly 4,000 yen off the price of purchasing the game and hardware separately. Which it conclusion this does not mean a price drop on the PS3. Still it is a heck of a savings.
