Next Tuesday, Guerrilla Games' warmly received first-person shooter Killzone 3 arrives exclusively for the PlayStation 3. The franchise is one of Sony’s biggest, and the publisher is treating the release to a special $130 Helghast Edition, as well as downloadable content from the get-go.

Sony has its sights set on a Killzone 3 bundle.
Sony has its sights set on a Killzone 3 bundle.

Now, Sony is offering fans without a system a reason to get on board. Due out alongside Killzone 3 on February 22 will be the new 160GB Killzone 3 PlayStation 3 bundle. The package will include a copy of the title and a system for $300, the same price as the 160GB PS3 solo.

Gamers eager to jump into the game before it is released next week can download a single-player demo for Killzone 3 from the PlayStation Store today. The demo features a single level, Icy Incursion, which sees players return to the conflict between the human Interplanetary Strategic Alliance and the Nazi-like Helghast. As the title implies, the level will feature a wintry landscape on the planet Helghan, which players must negotiate with the help of jetpacks. Melee combat will also play a major role in the level.

Killzone 3 will be available in two versions, a standard $60 release and a $130 limited-edition package with a replica mask and helmet of the series' signature Helghast armies. While the headgear is the centerpiece of the extra goodies, the collector's edition will also include a 6.5-inch articulated cloaking Helghast marksman action figure, an art book, and a voucher to download multiplayer maps, the game's soundtrack, and more.

"Nazi-like Helghast" is kind of a very ignorant way of describing the Helghast gamespot.com The Helghast is a mixture of many different types of Imperial/Militarist/Totalitarian regimes just only comparing them to only one faction from WWII is very short sighted when there is Soviet Russian, Facist Italy, WWI era factions, even UK in some small bitty forms (they used to be an World Empire) as well as Ancient Roman Empire. The game is developed by a Dutch developer its not like they only were taught about one faction in school. Reguardless great job Guerrilla Games, you finally got a pack in, you earned it, I already own a PS3 60GB, you know the one that most western game review sites wrote all kinds of hate for just because it could play PS2 games on top of all of the value packed in, so I am getting The Helghast Edition of Killzone 3 and I am getting Greatest Hits Killzone 2. Now no one has an excuse to not buy a PS3 or Killzone 3, the game is basically FREE at that price so buy a PlayStation 3 now and also pick up Demon's Souls the game that got almost no coverage from almost ALL US gaming magazines and sites.

Really good deal. You could even sell Killzone 3 for at least $50 so it is like buying the system for $250.

@noble95x i think the 160gb should be 250$ but if u look at it this way it has free online 2 and while xbox makes u pay 50$ as well for online every year so still i think its a fair price

in my opinion ps3s and sometimes even 360s but mainly ps3s are just way overpriced. sure they got blu-ray and stuff but $300 for a ps3 with a game is kind of overpriced.

Looks freaking awesome. If I didnt have a PS3, I'd buy this. Instead, I'll just buy KZ3 when it launches. :)

@Phatjam98 Since when is 8.5 a bad score? And don't judge a game solely on what reviewers say. Especially when the reviews are from Gamespot. The KZ3 review is the exception seeing as the only good reviewer on this site(Kevin Vanord) reviewed the game. Having played the demo, I can say that the gameplay, graphics and sound is top of the class. the MP beta was awesome. it is, however, too bad that the developers didn't take more time to construct a better story. Both Uncharted games are a must for the PS3, and they have both reached a point where they can be bought for quite a low price. Better to get a new full priced game in a bundle than a cheap old game. If you like story, then there's always MGS4.

They are getting closer to getting me to pick up a PS3.... But from the reviews I've read about KillZone 3, its not a great game... Apparently it looks amazing but the single player story is terrible and the multiplayer is Eh.... Give me a bundle with LBP2 or Uncharted and we may just have a deal.

Good price, it's cool they are putting Killzone3 in the bundle. Usually these game companies put older games in the bundle knowing your probably going to buy the game you really want anyway.

I wished, these Gamestop reporters stopped calling the Helghast, a Nazi like civilization. The Helghast condition and way of life are the result of planet Helgan... the Helgans are the original inhabitants of the planet Vekta (Vekta is simply the last name of the CEO from the Helghan corporation that set to conquer space and colonized Vekta) before they were expelled forced to surrender and migrate to Helghan because the ISA could not take the heavy taxing and prospering advantage the Helghan had over the outer colonies. Helghan is simply the name of an earthly corporation that set out to conquer space on the private sector since there needed to be so mich money on the project... THough, this time around we fight as ISA considering from the point when Helghans "invaded" Vekta... there is enough substance to play a prequel story as Helghans fighting the opression that drove them to this point. Check out Killzone.com if you want to find out more about why this is not a Nazi-esque civilization.
