$300 160GB PS3 Killzone 3 bundle en route

Sony launching special edition of console with copy of shooter and system; due out alongside game on February 22.

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.

@quycho Get a square trade warranty when you buy your console. I'm going to get one for this bundle when I get it next week and It's only about $40 for 3 years.

Why didn't they make a package with the Move and the Sharp Shooter accesory?? I totally would've bought that, I really want to play this game with the Move. I need a new PS3 and this would have been perfect!

@Daian I'm just saying that this sounds great, but I don't got no money, man. My PS3 works and can run PS2 games, so I dont need a new PS3 anyway. On the other hand, I need a new 360 cuz the old one broke and the fee to fix it was $99, I sent it back when i still had the guarantee and they couldn't fix the damn thing so, yeah, and I heard slims don't go RROD. I don't look back, i love my new 360, it's cute. But thanks for caring, friend ^^.

@ Eazy1891, It's tit for tat my friend Microsoft doesnt pack an hdmi cable with their system either. I know it doesn't make sense since both system boast hd graphics but it is their way of cutting cost. Also I would like to point out that at least Sony lets you swap out the harddrive with your own that can be bought at any computer store unlike Microsoft that charges you an arm and a leg for their own "special" hard drive. :(

@DragonRift Don't be offensive mate, you're polarized retort makes me think you're either incapable of understanding differing points of view or that you've had a lot of flak from the very people I'm talking about, i.e. those who think collectOr's items are toys, toys are for kids and therefore collectOrs are immature. People can collect what they want; I collect Japanese weaponry but that doesn't mean I want to run round chopping people up; however I understand that my interest could be mistaken for something more dangerous. I'm tired of the whole "games ruining children" debacle and think if games developers took more care in how they present their releases they would help the sector defend itself against the Fox News tirade. P.S. - Next time you call someone's intelligence into doubt check your spelling and try not to over-use punctuation ;)

@MrSelf-Destruct Granted mate, I'm not judging just playing devils advocate. My point is that parents usually have a more traditional view on games and toys; my sainted mother thinks consoles are for kids, period, and doesn't see why I should be interested in them. I suspect that parents will see the helmet and figure as toys rather than collectibles, will assume the package is aimed at children and thus will ignore rating on the game. I know it's not Sony's/Guerilla's intention to mislead parents, or their fault that some parents are too stupid to notice the bright red warning label, but that won't stop the backlash when they pop their heads in their kids room to see their child sawing through someone's windpipe or executing downed enemies.

sorry or being off topic sort of....but why wasnt there ever a main Sony one out.....also....you have this official Sony Playstation Bluetooth headset....and now the 2nd version is out.....yet.....you dont bundle it with the PS3? or an HDMI cable? whats up with that....i mean at least one of those two things would seem pretty smart right? and they should both be put in regular PS3 bundles anyway....or at least one of the versions have one and another have the other.....just seems right to me....

Wasn't there another PS3 with 250GB? To me that would be worth buying, especially since I haven't gotten Killzone 2 yet.

@noble95x I'm a PC gamer and I love building PCs. Then I play console only games on my PS3 so I don't have to pay for Live. From time to time I play on the 360 for exclusive games like Alan Wake.

Wow! This will be the perfect investment for me. I used to have a PS3, or should I say my daughter did, and I purchased certain games to play on "her" PS3. Well, since she moved out I've got a few games sitting here with nothing to play them on, so this will be the perfect chance for me to grab another PS3, along with what looks to be a killer title.

@Gelugon_baat thats just silly. The devise wont explode and obviously he ment that it will stop working or something. I am not against hacking a devise but i am against abusing the hack for downloading free pirated games. Overall good idea Sony

In light of previous incidents involving the hacking of the PS3, I am getting a hunch that the PS3 unit in this bundle may be... different from the previous ones. I am reminded of something that Brendan Sinclair had said about the Playstation Phone (or was it the NGP?) in << LINK REMOVED >> - something about Sony packing in a slab of C4 that is triggered to arm if the device is cracked open. The PS3 is apparently a lot bigger to pack more than just C4 though, if Sony wants to booby-trap its console in flagrant violations of product safety.

IMO, that's a great deal. I got my PS3 slim when it 1st came out for $300 and it was only 120 GBs, now its 160 GBs with Killzone 3 included for the same price. I just sh**ted my diaper after seeing this.

I wish games just sold their soundtracks separately as well. Nothing says 'screw you' to me by trying to find a soundtrack to a game 6 months old just to find out it was a CE exclusive. Not only that, but I don't enjoy all the other crap, I want the game and maybe a soundtrack, no crappy helmets.
