With sales of current-generation consoles slowing and the promise of next-generation consoles just months away, Microsoft and Sony are going to be heavily marketing the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this spring. Their efforts will target those gamers who own only one of these consoles, encouraging them to buy the other. Sony’s latest PlayStation 3<\/a> bundle does just that.<\/p>\n

Sony<\/a> today announced the new God of War: Ascencion<\/em> “Legacy Bundle.” The console bundle will include a “garnet red” PlayStation 3 slim console with 500GB of storage. It also comes with a copy of the upcoming God of War: Ascension<\/em><\/a> and a copy of God of War: Saga<\/em>. The requisite 30-days of PlayStation Plus membership are also thrown in with the deal.<\/p>\n

Saga<\/em> includes all five previous God of War games, including God of War<\/em>, God of War II<\/em>, God of War III<\/em>, and God of War: Origins<\/em>, which itself includes God of War: Chains of Olympus<\/em> and God of War: Ghost of Sparta<\/em>. That’s all six God of War<\/em> games in one package.<\/p>\n

Sony’s statement on the bundle states that the products is the “ultimate collectors’ item for God of War<\/em> fans” and that it allows fans to “relive nostalgic memories of their first God of War<\/em> adventure.” That’s not who the product is really aimed at, however. Sony wants Xbox 360 owners who are burnt out on Xbox LIVE and who haven’t ever played the God of War<\/em> series.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the number of games in the bundle has raised its price. The God of War bundle will cost $349, almost $50 more than other big-title launch bundles, such as those for Uncharted 3<\/em> and Assassin’s Creed III<\/em>.<\/p>\n
