Sony quiet on PS3 MW2 bundle

No word yet on whether Sony is to follow Microsoft’s lead with dedicated Call of Duty hardware pack

PlayStation 3 platform holder Sony has told MCV that it has nothing to say concerning the possibility of a PS3 hardware bundle to accompany the upcoming release of Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Microsoft this morning lifted the lid on a surprise 250GB Xbox 360 bundle arriving alongside the release of Infinity Ward’s shooter.

It has already been rumoured that Sony will keep its new 120GB PS3 Slim bundle-less for the foreseeable future with the introduction of a 250GB SKU expected in a range of hardware bundles on the way this Christmas.

However, An SCE UK spokesperson told MCV this morning that “we've not made any announcements about bundle packs, but will let you know should that change”.

Sony dont need to follow M$. Should they decide to release a bundle they will but imo right now they dont need to.

What with the cracking titles available and GT5, UC2 and the rest of the BIG BOOMERS coming ahoy from Sony - not to mention the 250 gb slim with rumoured built in play tv and a two game and controller bundle - who is to say COD 5 and MW2 wont be seen there?

I love my 60GB but once that 250 slim hits the shelves it bought, this is now the demise of the 360 and not a moment too soon. They still havent sorted the RROD and offering a bigger HDD and saying they wont sell it separetly lol - they will just indirectly as when those 360 RROD there will be a lot of 250 GB HDD floating about in shops lol

bye bye M$ - make them hate you

Come on guys if you have nothing sensible to say dont just turn this into the usual M$ slagging contest as that argument can go on all day.

I've just sold my Ps3 in favour of the 360 just based on how much I ised either of them but im not going to start slagging wither off they are both great consoles and eserve a place in the market.

sony should really try and push MAG rather than MW2..

i think Xbox is pretty secure as being the preferred console for FPSs, try and argue that if you like, and if Sony are going to make any impact with MAG and NOT have it swollowed up by the monster that will be MW2 then they should priorotise MAG on the PS3 with a bigger campaign. could be suicide, but i'd love to see Kotick's face (actually, i never like to see his face but that's another story) if MAG outsells MW2 on the PS3 given his comments earlier in the year.

BTW Play TV wouldn't be built in but might be bundled in

i think sony for bigger games should put a beefier hdd in the ps3. say 500gb. just as more incentive for the public.... you know how they like ridiculously big hard drives.

IMO Sony will support MAG with a bundle as a rival to MW2.

This would be PERFECT timing! I'm planning on buying the PS3 slim... but it'd be cool to have a specially designed ps3 slim, for mw2. Or else im not getting it lol. What's the point in having the same game for 2 consoles lol.

Discuss MW2 over on the Modern Warfare 2 Forums at http://www.codnation.net :D
