Sony, in between its PlayStation Network and Store problems, has revealed a new console bundle it will be releasing in the US at the end of the month, packing together a copy of the extremely popular Call of Duty: Black Ops shooter with its home console.
The PlayStation 3 isn't going through the best of times recently, as the outage experienced by its PSN online service drove plenty of gamers to start trading in their consoles because they couldn't play any game online.
Now, with the multiplayer connectivity of the PSN fully functional, things are going back to normal.
As such, in order to lure in customers, Sony has showcased a new console bundle that will be out in stores on May 31.
The special package includes not just a PlayStation 3 with a 160GB hard drive, but also a copy of the extremely popular Call of Duty: Black Ops and free access to the game's first downloadable content package, the
First Strike map pack.
"With all of the gaming and entertainment features the PlayStation 3 offers – from 3D gaming to a built-in Blu-ray player – there are plenty of things to entice those looking for the best entertainment experience on the market," Sony stated. "Today we’re giving you one more reason to join the PlayStation family. On May 31, we will be releasing the Limited Edition PlayStation 3 Call of Duty: Black Ops Bundle."
"Not only will you get a 160 GB PS3 system and a copy of Activision Publishing Inc. and Treyarch’s critically acclaimed Call of Duty: Black Ops, you’ll also be treated to the First Strike Content Pack – for free. This DLC features five diverse globe-spanning multiplayer maps, one of which is a new Zombie experience."
The Limited Edition PlayStation 3 Call of Duty: Black Ops bundle is going to be available in the US at the end of the month for just $299.99.
