PS3 500GB The Last of Us Bundle

this bundle is awesome, 500 gigs? awesome, blue ray player capable? awesome, the last of us? awesome all in all this bundle was pretty darn cheap for all of this the game itself has a GREAT storyline, not just shoot all zombies because of a virus, like RE, its got more of a walking dead type storyline, the characters develope at a steady pace and you get a feel for all of the characters, even have a bit of emotion for some, i personally felt bad for afew this game gets sad, happy funny and just plain awesome, as for the 500 gig HD, im really enjoying it, ive put afew movies on it, you can even connect another external HD (i have a 1 TB back up drive) and the online features are awesome as well yes, this is the super slim version but its small enough to give you more space in your entertainment center i personally like the design of the ps3 super slim ive had it for about a month or so with no problems, it hasent overheated, but i suggest maybe putting it near somewhere where the ps3s vent isent covered so it has space for air to curculate i also love the fact that the wireless controller can be charged with the usb cable that you plug into the system, then disconnect the controller when its full it recharges but there is no battery to replace, its probibly a small battery in the controller itself that you dont have to replace(no compartment to open to get the battery out) so if your interested in this bundle, for the price as well as the HD space and awesome game, i suggest you get this now while its this cheap (or untill it stops selling)

I wanted to play GTA V and it does that well enough. Last of Us seems like a good game. They always advertise the ps3 standing up but you have to open the top cover to load the disk, so laying it flat is the best way to go. If you ever used a Nintendo or a Genesis or a Xbox or a Playstation 2, it's pretty much the same thing as far as how you store the thing. It comes with one wireless controller. It doesn't come with an HDMI cable. You can surf the web if you're connected to the internet, but it's a chore to type anything into a search engine using the controller. You can transfer music, photos and video files to the hard drive using a flash drive. Downloading anything from the Playstation store is really slow if you connect to the internet using the wifi. Looks like ethernet cable is the way to go. The ps3 has a huge library of games and most of them are cheap somewhere online. Most games on Amazon are between 15 and 20 bucks. I'd say right now a ps3 is a bigger bang for your entertainment buck than a ps4 due to the lack of games for the ps4. I'm happy with my purchase.

Bought this 500gb slim PS3 for my husband's birthday recently. He'd sold his PS2 and library of games a few years ago, and has regretted it since, so I would say this made him quite happy. It was pretty easy to set up and came with a black wireless dual shock controller, but no HDMI cable. I also got myself a red wireless controller from Amazon (much cheaper than here in New Zealand). This console has 2 USB ports. Now for the review of the game (understand that this is from someone who hasn't touched a PS console or game in years and was more into FF and racing car games): So, my husband started playing Last of Us that came with the bundle and while it's not really his genre, he was amazed by the detailed graphics (reflections in puddles of water, shadows etc.). Also, he quite like that it's movie-like with a storyline. However, not long into the game, he encountered a hitch where an essential key that was supposed to have dropped from a dead body couldn't be found. He got a bit frustrated searching, so I googled it and found out it may be a glitch. Sure enough, after restarting the encounter, the key appeared this time. Then, come the next problem. Fight 6, I think. He's looked up a Guide and Walkthrough on gamepressure.com, but just can't seem to get past that stage without dying. Apparently, there's no use retaliating once the clickers (what they call the infected) are on to you. Even though it auto-saves and restarts at a close restore point, it gets tiresome real quick, especially if you've tried and died over 50 times in less than an hour. Although he admits he's simply not adept at games such as these, not with the FPS style or blood and gore. I know this game garners great reviews, and he may still try to play it, but ultimately, I suppose he'll probably just palm it off one of his mates. Regardless, for the price of the bundle ($269), the game's basically a bonus. Shipped using FREE AmazonGlobal Saver Shipping and it arrived in a week. Sweet!

Bought Dec 14, 2016.. Great Bundle, last of us is the perfect game.. System still running perfectly in Apr 29, 2017... The controller has gone bad.. the right analog stick moves to the left automatically.. So its difficult to play games requiring aiming and precision driving.. I've been in university since Sep 2016, I have not used the game more than 15 times, so it still bugs me as to why the control would suddenly go bad.. 1 year n a few months for the life span of a controller, is decent I think..

This was my first gaming console ever that solely belonged to me and I'm 22 years old. Not only is this sad since I love gaming but wonderfully awesome because I was finally able to afford one on my own. When I got my PS3 I was wary because sometimes the gaming systems don't turn out the was you expect it. But I must include that when I opened my perfectly conditioned PS3 box I was laughing like a maniacal genius screaming "It's all mine! Bwahahahahahaha!" Besides my reaction I took a while to see how my PS3 worked before I wrote a review. Not only did I get a great price but I got the game "The Last of Us" at the same time which I gave to my younger brother as a belated birthday present. By the way he loved the game, the storytelling and game play was awesome. His gaming time also provided me with some entertainment considering how many times he died, but that is besides the point. The amount of memory is incredibly useful considering how much time I spend with the games I love such as "Sly Cooper" and classic animations I use for my nephews. My only issue is that the wire that connects to the PS3 to charge it is extremely short. Plus after only using the wire to charge, the rubber end connecting to the PS3 pulled back to reveal wires. I take good care of my stuff so I was disappointed when I saw this. There were a few freezing moments while playing my game but I heard that was normal. But I love this gaming console and simply put, it was freaking awesome!

I would like to start this with the preface that I did a WHOLE lot of research about price ranges, compared sellers, and made sure that I was purchasing a machine that was being fullfilled by Amazon so that if this happened, I would be able to easily return my item. SO, I bought this machine a few days ago. It arrived yesterday, and immediately began having issues. When I hooked it up and turned it on the first time, it would not even go to the main menu. I had to force it into Safemode and then restore it to its factory settings. So, that was my first clue, since I would assume that one of the first things you would do when "refurbishing" a machine is to reset it to factory... Yeah, so, no, that wasn't done. So fine, I reset it and began getting the system software updated. I am primarily interested in older games, so I got it all hooked up with the PS store and downloaded a couple of games and installed them. During the download of one of the games, the fans kicked on and it sounded like it was trying to emulate a jet engine. I know that is a thing that the fans CAN do, but I hadn't heard them kick on AT ALL before that. Not a good sign, but we forge gayly on thinking "well, lets at least get something going, see how it does." Fast forward to today, since I wasn't able to actually play it last night. Get the game all booted up and its running fine. The fans have come on a little bit, but nothing too bad. Then I get to a boss battle and WOOSH, the fans spin up, the fans immediately stop again, and the whole thing just shuts off. SO, yeah, I don't know if its a bad fan, dust, a bad fan controller, etc. And I don't really care. Could I crack open the case and potentially fix it, yes. Do I want to trust that this is the only problem it has, NO! The issue is that I specifically went with one that cost a little more because it was being sold as a PROFESSIONALLY REFURBISHED machine. I am so deeply annoyed at this point, I don't even really know what to do. I am returning the console, and waiting for my reimbursement at this point.

A long time ago i had the first gen console (the one where you could play ps1 and ps2 games) and i regret selling it on ebay. Although i believe the hardware was out to crap out. I decided to buy this again because i sold my PS3 before The Last Of Us came out and man that was a mistake. Now I'm happy again and do not regret my purchase. The Last of Us is a great game. I do realized that i bought a PS3 after PS4 came out but the problem is that there isn't a huge amount of games that came out for it yet. I'm waiting for the library to build up. Packaging was pretty sturdy so no problems with shipping, and as always right on time. I was able to use my previous PSN account and setup was no problem. When i opened the package to the PS3 i looked for the game immediately. You can tell from the factory they took a normal PS3 box and just threw the retail packages game in there. Its whatever. There was no damage to the box or disc.

Did you like the original PS3 but hate how sleek and cool it looked? Were you hoping for a console that no longer has cool touch-controlled buttons, internal disc slots, or sleek and smooth case design? Great! Because this does away with all those feature and instead give you a cheap plastic case with pointless grooves on the top and a sliding door covering a disc drive that runs louder than most hot rods. Also, I hope you dislike HD graphics because while this system is possibly capable of displaying them, it does not come with the cables to do so. The only cables included are the composite cables (Red/White/Yellow) ones that we used to use back in the day of the Nintendo 64 and Playstation 1. Glad to see Sony is trying to get back to its roots and stop worrying about silly things like technological improvements, or competitive progression. The ONLY good thing here is that it does, at least, come with a real physical copy of the game in a standard case. They didn't go the Nintendo route and claim to include a game only to provide you with a digital download code. So don't think of this as a really cheap and poor-quality PS3, think of this as a really expensive copy of The Last of Us.
