146w ago - Today Sony's Director of Hardware Marketing John Koller has announced a new Madden NFL 11 PSP bundle, as follows:

It's coming up on my favorite time of year...football season. Training camps are in full effect and I'm ready for my S.F. Niners to make another run at the playoffs - hopefully my fantasy team will too.

Another great thing about pre-season is knowing there's a new Madden NFL 11 available.

We know many of you wait all year for the next iteration in this awesome franchise, so in preparation for the coming season, we've partnered with EA to offer a Madden NFL 11 PSP bundle so you can take the gridiron with you on the go.

Available starting August 10, the Madden NFL 11 PSP bundle includes a Black PSP-3000 system and the Madden NFL 11 UMD game for $169.99 at most major retailers. Yes, $169.99. As most of you already know, Madden NFL 11 redefines the way you experience the game.

From the all-new GameFlow system, which puts you in the helmet of an NFL quarterback to execute an authentic, situational game plan, one play at a time; a new playcall system, which reduces the 60 minute game times to as little as 30 minutes; 3-on-3...

153w ago - Recently we revealed a few new PS3 models uncovered through the FCC, and today CVG.com (linked above) reports that Sony plans to launch new PlayStation 3 SKUs that will include a 500GB HDD and come bundled with the Move Motion Controller.

The new PlayStation 3 bundles are also reported to include faster internal Wi-Fi cards, specifically 802.11n versus 802.11 b/g.

To quote: "Sony plans to release 500GB and 250GB versions of its slimline powerhouse bundled with the new motion controller later this year, according to our industry source in Los Angeles.

We were also told that the new PS3s will come with new faster internal Wi-Fi cards (802.11n, for those of you who know what that means). Current PS3s come with the slower 802.11 b/g standard Wi-Fi.

Basically, that means new PS3's connection to PSN and the Internet will be faster if you have an 802.11n-compatible router."

155w ago - A tipster on PlayStationLifeStyle.net (linked above) has shared pictures of a new and yet-unannounced PS3 Slim 250GB bundle which includes an HDMI cable and LittleBigPlanet Game Of The Year 'Greatest Hits' Edition for only $349.99!

Now consumers won't have to fork over more cash for a high-definition cable in order to enjoy 1080p PlayStation 3 games and Blu-ray movies, providing of course that the 6-foot HDMI cable included is long enough to suit your needs.

To quote: "As if the 250GB PS3 SKU wasn't already a great value, being only $50 more than the 120GB SKU and featuring double the HDD capacity. Now, the 250 SKU will be packed with a 6-foot HDMI cable and the Greatest Hits Game of the Year Edition of LittleBigPlanet, which is still one of the most highly-regarded titles of this generation. Here's the kicker: it's still only $349.99!

Don't believe this amazing value? We didn't either, but a PSLS faithful tipster with retail experience sent us the pictures below for confirmation!"
