Amazon lists Uncharted/DualShock 3 combo pack
by David Hinkle 
{ Dec 1st 2009 at 6:00PM } 
For $60, you'll get a black DualShock 3 controller and experience every earth-shaking explosion in Nathan Drake's first adventure through glorious rumble or -- given the time of year -- gift your procrastinator friend or loved one with one sweet bundle, granted they haven't already acquired a new console in the last year or a new PS3 Slim.
There's no word whether Sony will offer other bundles and together the two will only save you $7 right now (Amazon is pricing the game at $27 and the controller at $40), but we still wouldn't suggest playing Uncharted without a DualShock 3. What are you, some chump on the street not getting the fullest from your games? No, you hold yourself to a higher standard.
[Thanks, Yingerman!]

pretty lame deal, unless you're in need of a new controller and haven't played Uncharted.
mywhitenoise @ Dec 1st 2009 6:03PM
and why did I have to confirm my comment just now?
Why do I always have to type in my email and password, even though "Remember me" is clicked?
brian @ Dec 1st 2009 6:04PM
wow, i guess it won't be a lame deal then... for maybe like millions of ps3 owners.
mywhitenoise @ Dec 1st 2009 6:05PM
as the writer implied, who doesn't already have Uncharted and a Dualshock?
Reuben @ Dec 1st 2009 6:07PM
I don't have Uncharted, and I only have a dualshock because the original controller crapped out on me during a boss fight in MGS 4 that required the motion sensors.
Michelobius @ Dec 1st 2009 6:07PM
I played through a friend's copy of Uncharted, and my second DS3 got some water poured on it. Not a bad deal, considering normally a new controller costs $55.
brian @ Dec 1st 2009 6:07PM
well, considering that uncharted has only sold like what? 2 million copies ( i really dont know), i consider that a shit load of people dont have it.
mywhitenoise @ Dec 1st 2009 6:11PM
What about rentals? Games sold doesn't = games played.
BAH, whatever.

I believe Uncharted pushed slightly over 3 million, plus how ever many were bundled in last years bundle (like mine).
Premature ejaculation man @ Dec 1st 2009 6:24PM
Uncharted 2 came out last year?
Premature ejaculation man @ Dec 1st 2009 6:24PM
Misinterpretation!
Ignore me =(

Last time I checked and for a long time, Motorstorm 1 was the highest selling title on the PS3 with 3+ million according to Wikipedia (yes, I know) even after Metal Gear Solid 4 was out for many months, which I expected would have sold a much more ridiculous amount. So, Joystiq, now I ask: what is the highest selling title on the PS3 as of now?
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Dec 1st 2009 6:35PM
According to VGChartz, it's GTA IV with 5.98 million copies, followed by Modern Warfare with 4.78 million, and MGS 4 with 4.34.
Motorstorm clocks in at 8th with 3.5 million. Uncharted 1 has 2.75.
Here's the link for the complete list.

brian @ Dec 1st 2009 6:03PM
how about an uncharted collections PS3 bundle for north america.
i'd jump on that shit sooo hard.

Wassup Dog, I'm gonna give you a little FADE treatment.

"gangsta nigga homie dawg"
Hahah. Okay, really? There's no way in hell you are serious. You aren't even trying anymore....... and I kind of like it. Why do I have to laugh everytime?
CzAr @ Dec 1st 2009 6:06PM
My work has already started to release these bundles.
Uncharted + DS3
GT:Prologue + DS3
R&C FW + DS3
Canada, EB.
Asspigeon @ Dec 1st 2009 6:14PM
Yeah we already have them at Future Shop in downtown Toronto as well. Seems like a pretty good deal to me if you don't have the games yet. Problem is, I still haven't felt the need for more than 2 PS3 controllers.
CzAr @ Dec 1st 2009 6:14PM
As a tip... Uncharted qualifies for the trade 1 get new for $49.99.
So get the bundle, trade the game, get $20 off.
brian @ Dec 1st 2009 6:20PM
asspigeon
do you mean the dundas location? i worked there last year for christmas, boxing day there suckssssss.
Chow @ Dec 2nd 2009 3:10AM
Yeah, I've also seen these bundles in Toronto EBs as well. I happened by some (as well as a R&C bundle) around the Eglinton/Yonge area. The games/cases are the Greatest Hits versions.
ilikemonkeys @ Dec 2nd 2009 3:44AM
Yup, same here.

Sixaxis for life!!!
Shadowbender (Nelson Is Behind You) @ Dec 1st 2009 6:16PM
No, sir. Dualshock is a classic. A classic!
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Dec 1st 2009 6:19PM
The fact that Sony has sold essentially the same controller since the 90's says a lot.
I mean, you can buy a Dual Shock 2 and it will STILL work with the PS1.
Space @ Dec 1st 2009 6:52PM
yeah it says they are afraid of change.
the 360 set the new standard for controller design, except their trashy d-pad. sony needs to try some new things
RKN (Steam ID: nerdydesi) @ Dec 1st 2009 7:02PM
Xbox "Duke" controller for life!!!
Orchard Pear @ Dec 1st 2009 8:00PM
Nope, it says Sony got it right the first time, and there's no need to change.
Sorry. :)
linebeginstoblur @ Dec 1st 2009 10:39PM
I agree! Sixaxis controllers are amazing! That is, if you take into account the fact that the DualShock 3 IS a type of Sixaxis controller.
Marko Dj @ Dec 1st 2009 6:07PM
This offer is already on store shelves in Vancouver. There is also a Ratchet and Clank Future combo pack as well. Pretty decent controller and game combo.
Dan Davis @ Dec 1st 2009 6:10PM
I bought a 60 GB PS3 on launch day, and I still do not have a Dual Shock.
Time for an UGGRAYEDD

Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Dec 1st 2009 6:15PM
I thought you were spamming for a second. Nice pic.
The DS3 is worth it, IMO.
And everyone should buy a set of these for their Sixaxis or DS3

I love them.
DangerMouse @ Dec 1st 2009 6:36PM
I think they're selling those at wal-mart now, but passed. For the games that allow it, i just switch the R2&L2 for R1&L1 if they're designated as the shooting buttons. The only FPS that won't let me do it is FEAR1, which is a shitty ass port anyway, so it's not too much of a big deal.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Dec 1st 2009 6:11PM
Hmm...I could use a new Dual Shock. But trade in value on that copy of Uncharted wouldn't justify the extra cost.
Zezzler @ Dec 1st 2009 6:18PM
This is News? i saw this at my local WalMart and EB games and whatnot a week ago. (I live in Canada BTW)
rohan @ Dec 1st 2009 6:23PM
i have seen this and R&C bundle in Mississauga,Canada in EB Square One and
the Best Buy in heartland mississauga, canada
worth it 2 me, going to pick it up soon since i have not played Uncharted
ejsponge61 @ Dec 1st 2009 6:26PM
Oh man, I just bought this game on Black Friday. Its still a good deal though.
phuphroo @ Dec 1st 2009 6:26PM
uncharted is such an overrated game
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Dec 1st 2009 6:31PM
It's not overrated. If anything, it's underrated.
But let's not turn this into a 100 comment flame war.
Downvote and move on, please!
Shadowbender (Nelson Is Behind You) @ Dec 1st 2009 6:35PM
You speak the Devil's words. Uncharted is amazing.
phuphroo @ Dec 2nd 2009 7:12PM
freedom of speech once again thrown down :P and cmon fanboys i didnt say it was a bad game, i just believe that people obsessed over it too much. And im not talking about uncharted 2 btw, cuz i have not yet played it. I actually believe that uncharted 2 will be a game that deserves the hype, unlike its predecessor.
Eddie Valiant @ Dec 1st 2009 6:28PM
Who you callin' a chump, chimp?
uncle jesse @ Dec 1st 2009 6:34PM
Eddie Valiant, you're under arrest!
Reuben @ Dec 1st 2009 6:38PM
Ahh, that takes me back.
TheRagingInferno @ Dec 1st 2009 6:35PM
Actually... its NOT DualShock 3 and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - It's DualShock 3 and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
http://www.gameyeeeah.com/ps3-dual-shock-controller-and-uncharted-among-thieves-p-1702.html
Seems that its already on sale in Europe, so looks like Amazon is bringing that sale over to America. We'll find out for sure in about 2 weeks anyway.
Zezzler @ Dec 1st 2009 6:53PM
no... there deffinatly is one with The first Uncharted, i've seen tons of them, but that one there seems real aswell.
