250GB PS3 Slim bundle for October? News
PlayStation 3 News by Games Industry.biz
Eurogamer Spain is reporting that Sony will introduce a 250GB PS3 Slim as soon as October this year.
The console will be bundled with a copy of FIFA 10 and be exclusive to GAME, according to the report. The package will cost €350 (£307).
Sony Europe has declined comment.
The PS3 Slim launched here last week and boosted sales of the console by 1000 per cent. That unit houses a 120GB hard-drive.
This isn't the first we've heard of a 250GB model, however, after FCC filings from May outlined two production models: 120GB and 250GB.

Assuming it's true and the UK price is correct (could it be £299?) then that's not a bad deal. You could buy a 120 GB PS3 Slim (£229) now and fit your own third-party 250 GB or even 320 GB HDD for £35-£45 (using eBuyer's prices) and buy FIFA 10 seperately (£40) but it would end up costing either the same or more. Great for technophobes and people who shudder at the thought of having to use a screwdriver!

@Steve i do sometimes, mainly because i can't be arssed to buy stuff online, im signed up to that many sites i just forget my passwords all the time. Plus their reward scheme isn't to bad for pre orders. I usually buy sceond hand now as well so there cheaper in most cases than buying a new game online.
...and negs on my other comment how does that work, i mearly gave you a link for a cheap hard drive thats bigger than the one on offer. Im helping you by saving you money you ungrateful git. |

Where the hell did you get £350 for a 250GB PS3?
Methinks you should look at the article again. |

Same roumors were heard about 2 weeks ago for the 360 from a "slip" on a website advertisement of the store. On that one it was half proof the fact they saw at least online. ( you know.. the clasic mistakes the past couple of years ). So not like it matters. I guess, specially for the ppl interested into buying a PS3 shouldnt be important. Why would they get so ripped off when they can buy faster HDDs for less money? I mean even all those kiddos that hear PlayStaion and they go nuts for that and only can figure out that they can buy an HDD for way cheaper themselves, I would suppose.

@Chess...
PSPGO £250 $250 (euro sign) 250 You really think this is going to be cheaper. It may not be £350 but i sure as hell think it will be more than £300. |

@Henry: Music, SD movies, HD movies, recorded programs form PlayTV, 40+ downloaded games, installed BR games. List fgoes on. If you use a PS3 to it's full potential you will want a bigger HDD.
My Elite has 60GB left after installing my most played games, but due to it's standalone multimedia capabilities being a bit wank (and I don't want to dedicate a Windows 7 PC to Media Centre duties for it right now) I find that I won't use all the space the 360 offers. PS3 is a completely different matter. I also have a 500GB HDD hooked up the PS3 and that only has 100GB left. |

@HenryVIII
What septimus said. With a system that has such multimedia capability, hard drive space is very valuable. |

Was thinking about getting a slim as i traded my old ps3 in i hope this is true but it isnt a game exclusive as i have store credit with another shop and hopefully the bundle will be 299 GBP.

No, sony. Why would it be exclusive to one retailer? That's just silly.
Just make it ONE SKU thank you very much |

"GAME lol... people still buy stuff from there?"
Only yesterday i saw Batman was a whole £2 cheaper preowned than new! They were also selling Burnout Paradise for £5 more than on psn a while back. What annoys me most about Game/station is when a new console is released and they only sell it as a bundle costing an extra £100+ edit: and they complained about my favourite indy because they had the balls to break release dates. grrr.
