First-party PS3 controllers are still retailing at the relatively lofty price point of $45 (plus tax!) -- wouldn't you rather pay just a little bit more and get a game to go along with your peripheral? Amazon will give you the opportunity to do just that with a selection of $60 bundles, which include a DualShock 3 controller and your choice of "Greatest Hit" in LittleBigPlanet: GOTY Edition, Resistance 2, Killzone 2 or inFamous.
These pairings seem to be an extension of the Uncharted/DualShock bundle offered last December. Like the Uncharted deal, these bundles will likely be available at a number of other retailers -- but we've highlighted Amazon because it offers free shipping!

I was shown this last night. Brilliant value if you don't already have the game. Heck, even if you do have it you can still give the game as a gift.

Hmm.. my friend just lost one of his controllers. This is a good deal for him.

I've lost TV remotes but never a controller. He needs to be more careful with his controllers.

So it was really YOU who figured it out, right Dragod?

If only these controllers were somehow tethered to the console. Almost like a leash if you will, so that the controllers do not stray far from the system. A cable could be attached to the two to avoid the problems like SpaceFox encountered. I mean, his friend of course.
Sony, I hope you reading.

I got a few laughs out of these. No, really, MY FRIEND did lose a controller... somehow. It was a piece o shit anyways, not even a dualshock, it's about time he got a new one.
.... OK OK! I did it! BUT FOR HIS OWN GOOD. That flimsy piece of crap was gonna break anyways, about time he got a dualshock.

SOLD! To the ME on the left!

Might actually get the R2 one, keep meaning to pick it up and could always use a new or extra controller. Is split-screen in Resistance 2 fun?

I suppose this is a pretty decent deal, since LBP is still over $20 (even used) everywhere I've looked.

Tony, it says 'Game of the Year Edition' on the box.

Knowing employee discount at Best Buy for DS3 is $37, and about 25 or less for the game that sounds about a good deal for the everyday consumer. My dualshock just broke... bluh.

That packaging looks reallyyyy nice. Like the Eye Pet box. Niceee

Thats a great deal

I actually want this...
Quick poll:
LBP
Resistance 2
or Killzone 2?
Uncharted is too expensive.

Even with the announcement of the sequel, I'd still say LBP.
Resistance 2 I haven't played (tried the MP demo and wasn't particularly interested in it), and Killzone 2, while good, just didn't have the lasting value for me. I bought it for the single player and was satisfied with that, but if you want a multiplayer game then go with LBP.

I'd say that all of them are "must haves" but if I had to pick one it'd be InFamous, friggin love that game
also the Uncharted one is so expensive because they don't make it anymore (it was out last year I believe) and now people are trying to get ridiculous prices for the few that remain

Its a good deal and some of my controllers could use replacing, but I have all those games :(

Although I rarely play my PS3 (got it for cheap, couldn't pass it up), I don't have much use for a second controller at the moment, but I have wanted to get inFamous, so might pick that up...

Pretty good deal if you still don't own one of those games.

Too bad Motorstorm: PR isn't in that bundle. It's a great multiplayer game.

I got one of the December bundles with the first PS3 Ratchet & Clank and a blue DualShock 3... great deal.

I see more and more incentives to buy a PS3 arising.

I still haven't red zapped all evil like through Empire City yet, so yes--GET.
