PlayStation 3 500GB Assassin's Creed III Bundle w/ 1-Month of PlayStation Plus & Assassin's Creed III Game $229.99 with free shipping

But this is gonna be the best gaming year for the PS3. Why would you do that?

This is one hell of a deal. If you don't want the game put it up on eBay and make this an even slicker deal.

In short this is a great price and should jump on it. Large 500 gb hdd is one of the two newest releases from Sony and probably won't drop much below this for sometime. I expect best price to be seen for awhile is $199.99 and even that some time. I think it's just newegg trying to clear stock they aren't walmart and don't want to hold on to these for a huge loss.

This is definitely a hot price. This has been at $300 for awhile now and with no sign of dropping. People say oh it's going to drop in july and such because of the ps4. But really? I don't see much dropping below this price. At most maybe $199.99 but I seriously doubt it. It has a 500 GB hdd.

Seems like a solid deal to me. If you want Assassin's Creed III, great. If not, sell it for ~$30 and you have a PS3 500 GB console and controller for about $200.

If you really want a PS3 now this is a good price.The best PS3 deal I've seen was from Black Friday last year where you could get the 250GB Super Slim with Uncharted 1&2 and Infamous 1&2+DLC for $200. No one knows if Sony will ever announce a price drop for the PS3, they recently announced a God of War bundle with the PS3 for $350 (6 games total I think). For all we know Sony could just announce more bundles with more stuff to keep the prices high.

How does one add a HDD to this? Do I need to jailbreak it or something?
Not that I'm going to need one, I think...But I was just wondering.

Done. I truly appreciate the help!

Reps and blessings all around!

Absolutely correct. "Not for resale" is to stop retail stores from breaking up the.bundle to sell the game by itself. You own the game when you buy it and can sell to whoever you want to.

I wonder just how much stock Newegg has of this bundle. It says they have a limited quantity, but just how much? I'm enjoying watching the numbers of units sold increase because I am curious when they'll be sold out!

What are the differences going to be between the ps3 & ps 4 ? I am really deliberating whether or not to pull the trigger .

Why do we need a 500gb HD in a PS3?

Great deal. Someone sure is abusing the wiki to put fourth those insane opinions.

The PS3 isn't going to suddenly go out of production and cease to be once a new system hits. Hell the PS2 continued on strong for years.

From my reading I found that there is actually technical reasons why the PS4 wont be backward compatible. The PS3 is a PowerPC based and the new PS4 will be x86. Supposedly in order to play PS3 games it would have to emulate a PS3, and I dont think the PS4 has enough horsepower to emulate the PS3 and run the rest of the PS4 OS...
