80GB PS3 on sale for $249, 160GB Drake's Fortune Bundle for $349

If you don't factor girth into your console purchasing decisions, then SonyStyle has the best deal on a PlayStation 3 we've seen to date -- for just $249, you can pick up a 80GB PS3 Phat and an additional DualShock 3 controller. Sure, it may lack the svelteness and hard drive space of the PS3 Slim, but for a $50 discount and a free controller, we think it's well worth the trade-off.

Equally tantalizing is the 160GB PS3 Drake's Fortune Bundle, which includes Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, a voucher a free download of Pain and an additional DualShock 3 controller for $349. Again, if you don't mind the additional chunky pounds, an added $50 on top of the PS3 Slim cost is a small price to pay for these savory bonuses. Hell, if they'd throw in the David Hasselhoff Pain DLC, we'd probably buy two.

[Thanks Ian!]

Size doesn't matter, if it works the same way.

Heavytoka @ Oct 12th 2009 4:59PM

That's NOT what she said

Solace @ Oct 12th 2009 5:07PM

CzAr @ Oct 12th 2009 5:10PM

She was too busy to say anything.

Space @ Oct 12th 2009 5:32PM

@ Space

You didn't have to get stitches did you? j/k ;)

The $249 deal was out of stock about an hour before this article went up. The other guys posted it much earlier and I'm sure Sony's stock quickly disappeared. But hey, more PS3's in the market is a great thing.

Chillski @ Oct 12th 2009 5:16PM

too bad they cant keep this deal going forever... 250 is the sweet spot for consoles imo...

hmmmm so a $250 80gb PS3 and a 16gb PSP Go! some one help me choose....

btw...i just wanted to be the one to say that.

Space @ Oct 12th 2009 5:49PM

I love how people compare to completely different things. You do realize one can be played on the go and the other is tethered to your tv, don't you?

Str84rumBk (PSN) @ Oct 12th 2009 6:16PM

i do understand that but my thing is the psp go is 250 when its basically the same thing as the psp-3000. and you get the 3000 for alot less.

i play with my ps3 on the go. now thats hardcore

kentuckyfried @ Oct 12th 2009 8:43PM

It's like the Macbook Air...some people put a huge premium on the size/weight savings, whereas the average consumer will balk at the cost.

kentuckyfried @ Oct 12th 2009 7:06PM

WTH...I grab a 40 gb for $219 as a gift or whatnot, and then a few weeks later, this comes up?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk.

JACK @ Oct 12th 2009 8:34PM

Ummmm I don't get it.
You paid less for a PS3, that's really what should matter! I got a HDD 500 GB for 129, I'm pretty sure you can find something close to it too for far less.

kentuckyfried @ Oct 12th 2009 8:41PM

I paid less, but I could've gotten a better deal for just a little bit more (plus I'm presuming the 80 gb is not refurbished...not that there's a huge physical difference at that point, but psychologically, as a buyer, it always feels slightly inferior to go refurb).
