Another day, another PS3 console bundle surfaces – this time in the form of the PlayStation 3 Instant Game Collection bundle. This all-new white-colored system comes with a 500gb hard drive and a one-year membership to PlayStation Plus, which nets you an “instant game collection” of over 12 games. And… wait, is that a top-loading disc-tray I spy?

Members of PlayStation Plus receive not only 12 full retail games like LittleBigPlanet 2, Infamous 2, and Ratchet & Clank All 4 One, but new titles are added to the free-access catalogue every month. Additionally, Plus subscribers get free and exclusive betas, demos and discounts upwards of 75% on the PS Store. Finally, all “plussers” get a 1gb allotment of cloud storage for game saves and six free games for the PS Vita, including seriously great titles like Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush and WipeOut 2048.

Fun fact: all of those came out at launch. Let that sink in.

If you purchase this bundle and you’re already a PS Plus subscriber, then the one-year included membership will be simply added onto the end of your current subscription. The PlayStation 3 Limited Edition Classic White Instant game Collection bundle is not only the longest product name you’ll ever say at a store counter, it’s also available now for $299.

What a rush.

    Thats a pretty good deal. But I’m wondering do the console sales actually make up for the loss in revenue from game sales… Also,the games you get for free must me really low non selling titles, since they probably are not losing that much money to begin with.

    Dumb. Sony is just dumping out all their shitty ideas while they flap around trying to figure out what to do next.

    Not really, many of the Free games on PS+ are actually quality stuff. Yeah some are a bit older but still great games like Uncharted, LBP, InFamous, Street Fighter, Borderlands, Bioshock, King of Fighters, etc… There really are a lot that come and go all the time. I think its a great deal if you dont have a PS3 already.

    In addition, they should have mentioned the awesome color change the white consoles will make in about 5 years to a night plaque yellow

    Strap a rocket launcher and cup holder and I’m sold. The cup holder… that’s an absolute must.
