After such a big splash at E3, and an even bigger showcase at Gamescom, what could Sony announce that could steal the show yet again at Tokyo Game Show?

Along with the expect slew of new game announcements, and more in-depth looks at Japanese-developed games such as Gran Turismo 5, and The Last Guardian. It’s expected that Sony will be announcing PS3 Slim premium bundles in time for the holiday season.

The bundles, which will retail along side the value-packed standard 120GB PS3 Slim, would likely feature a larger 250GB HDD, and come with one or more games.

French site Jeux Video has a supposed list of game bundles which include, Tekken 6, Need for Speed: Shift, Pro Evolution Soccor, Assassin’s Creed 2, Uncharted 2, Gran Turismo 5, and a Blu-Ray movie bundle.

One major UK retailer told Eurogamer that the bundle or bundles Sony plans to unveil at Tokyo Game Show (which is being held September 24-27) and “is a definite” for an October release.

With the discovered filings of a 250GB PS3, and recent rumblings of a Gran Turismo 5 250GB bundle, the chances of these bundles getting announced at TGS is very likely.

    I think that putting a blu-ray movie with a game would be a nice marketing for their blu-ray format. But the game bundles itself is still irresistable.

    Uncharted 2 bundle sounds nice

    Cool bring on the bundles.

    Uncharted is indeed the bundle l would go with

    Another great addition.

    Hmm it would be nice if they had a section like that, say you could pick the game that you wanted as the bundle. Then again I guess that would be like buying a system from say Amazon and a game along with it. But still I’m all for Sony promoting the PS3 as much as possible. Now the real fun begins.

    They already did Blu-ray bundling. I got the Spider-man Blu-ray bundle PS3.

    @SpeCtR – I just transfered everything over to a slim. The fat princess “get fabulous” unlocks didn’t make it, it seems that everything else came along just fine.
    (At the same time I upgraded to a 500GB HD)

  11. I would so go for a Assassin’s Creed II bundle with Gladiator Blu-ray Disc. That would be really nice
