A bundle of news for your eyeballs today.

Eurogamer has  a lot of evidence about the upcoming 250GB PS3 slim. According to two UK retailers a 'definite' October release is slated along with three possible bundles and a provincial price of £299.99. What are these bundles? Well, none other then Assasins Creed 2, Grand Turismo 5 & Uncharted 2.

Engadget lends extra credibility to this with lovely leaked photos of the possible Uncharted 2 Bundle. There's still no official announcement from Sony yet, though.

@ Chris:
Upgrading a PS3 harddrive is easy - I'm techincally challenged, and I did it with the help of an online guide. As for my old HDD, I bought an enclosure for it, formatted it, and now I store all my music on it.

Whole process cost me £45, for a new 160GB HDD, and an enclosure for the old one.

You could easily sell a 120gb SATA hardrive on ebay.

@captain: some people don't want to go through the pain of changing harddrives. (some think they are too stupid to do it too)

and what will you do with the HD from your PS3? throw it away? sell it?

Why pay £50 more when you can but the £250 120GB version and spend £55 on a massive HDD?

Antman217, I agree.

I think it would be a good marketing move for Sony to announc e this bundle soon to take some of the thunder away from MS and their MW2 bundle.

Basically using MS's little own tricks against them. They do this all the time i.e. announicing the price drop of the XBox at the same time as the PS3 was announced to name just one example.

According to Engadget themselves, SCEA has said that the pictures were fake and that they have no plans for bundles in America yet but maybe still in Europe but as for the 250GB hard drive, I think it will come out especially with the xbox 250GB modern warfare 2 bundle coming out soon
