That is a highly probable scenario.
Little Big Planet comes in October, a good month for a price cut, and it's a casual/social game they really want to push as a huge title, so they need to make the console more affordable to the kind of userbase they're targeting with the game. I don't think you'll get both the console and the game at 349$ considering their focus on profitability but the console alone is a different story.

Well, what I'm thinking is that before they give the PS3 a $100 price cut they will first cut it $50 and add a game. I'm thinking that game would probably be little Big Planet. LBP obviously gets a different market than the MGS4 pack, and Sony wants to concentrateon taking away some of Nintendo's market. What better way then to bundle LBP with a 40 Gig PS3? Then I believe a month or so later they will have the $100 price cut on all PS3's but since LBP is $60 on its own, it would still be better to buy the bundle because it's $10 cheaper if you were planning on buying LBP to begin with. That's my thinking

 

[Loudninja]

least expensive.

True,but it seems like people want the 80GB PS3 more.

Not for the LBP market. You got to think of who you are marketing too.

teh casuals.

Hmm also true,sounds like a great idea.

 

[sykoex]

omg guys. Check out the current post on the PS blog. They hint at a certain video is being released tonight.

Whoops, missed the colossal thread.:lol

 

[makingmusic476]

I predict Little Big Pak

Comes with 40 Gig PS3 and Little Big Planet for $349.99 this Holiday

It's likely that they'll have a bundle at some point, but I'd hope they'd let the game get some sales on its own before thrusting it into a bundle.

But looking at MGS4 and GT5P (in Europe), that's unlikely.

 

[deejay8595]

14 DAYS BABY!............

 

[Doubledex]

Infamous

A bit off-topic, but has Square revealed their E3 line-up yet?

I didn't think Square was even going to be there. I'm probably wrong.

I think Sony really, really, really should make the sackboy their mascot...100% go all out on it. And of course, from now on, every PS3 comes with a sackboy plush.

 

[Kagari]

Pretty sure they have a booth even.

 

[HappyBivouac]

As I recall, Square Enix USA is going to be there. Really just hoping for a reveal of what exactly the new MMO is going to be, regardless of what platforms it ends up on.

Oh and hi GAF.

Sony already has a PlayStation mascot, Toro the Cat.

 

[msdstc]

I think we'll see

ND- possibly a teaser of Uncharted 2, or a surprise showing of J+D next gen.

Insomniac- one of the 4 games of the show, this being the 2nd biggest, showing all new footage both single and multiplayer. Playable demo on the show floor and surprise beta?
possibly a teaser of R+C 2.

Sucker Punch- Infamous will be there, but just a few new videos, maybe even a demo.

Evolution- Motorstorm 2 another one of the 4 big games.

Guerilla- KZ2 of course, another one of the 4. Hopefully some new playable stuff, and some info on multiplayer.

Molecule media- LBP will be the biggest game of the Show I think.

Maybe?- FFXIII, WKC, Heavy rain.

stuff that's getting old- HOME :lol just get it out to us already.

 

[templeusox]

MLB The Show 09 will win GoTS.

 

[adamsapple]

Again I will say this I want Twisted Metal Black 2! Also would love to see more Jrpg Love, I guess I would have to wait till Tokyo Game show for this one.

 

[revolverjgw]

Is there any chance of Syphon Filter figuring into the festivities? It was confirmed to be in development, was it not?

Another good one there and I hope it's more like the first 2 games then it would be really really nice, also some of the influence from the Psp games would also be cool.

 

[Kagari]

10 more days... I can't wait anymore D:

I'm looking forward to little big planet, but I honestly don't see casuals giving two shits about lbp. Are casuals going to spend hours on end making their own levels?

 

[jiggle]

GoWIII is the only leak so far? D:

 

[Private Hoffman]

Do casuals like youtube?

Do casuals have to make videos?

 

[Byakuya769]

bahahaha, seriously?

 

[Mets39]

GoWIII is the only leak so far? D:

Well it's not even sure that GOW III will be there. The site that "confirmed" GOWIII edited the news and said it was a mistake, so i wouldn't bet on it :lol

 

[ToyMachine228]

Seriously hoping to see DC Universe Online. Really hyped on DC at the moment with The Dark Knight releasing, Gotham Knight releasing, Batman RIP, Final Crisis, etc. And as a new PS3 owner I'd be really interested.

 

[inner-G]

I would love to see US release dates for White Knight Story and Kenzan that end in 08.

Spoiler

I can dream, can't I?

I think the FF XIII stuff will, sadly, be saved for TGS. Squeenix will own TGS with a FF XIII/DQ IX blowout.

 

[Kagari]

Well it's not even sure that GOW III will be there. The site that "confirmed" GOWIII edited the news and said it was a mistake, so i wouldn't bet on it :lol

I fully expect GoW III to be shown.

 

[Salazar]

Are casuals ever going to get any goddamn privacy ?

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I'm wondering when Bust A Groove 1 is finally going to come out on PSN.

 

[Private Hoffman]

bahahaha, seriously?

Yes. Seriously.

If you don't want to make your own levels, then you can always download the best user levels and filter your search results similar to youtube (rating, download count, etc).

Some people act as though there's no appeal to the game if you're not into the creation aspect, and that's simply not true at all.

I will definitely play around with the creation aspect, but if I only have a limited time, then I'll just hop on and play some of the best new levels with friends in co-op.

 

[Mets39]

I fully expect GoW III to be shown.

You already have high hope i see :lol if GOW III is revealed at E3, it'll be enough for me (though i'd like to hear more about KojiPro next project)

 

[Kagari]

Considering retailers are already taking preorders for it, and they hinted at it on the back of the Chains of Olympus booklet...
