There's another PS3 SKU hitting retail stores this week. The "Legacy" bundle includes a 500GB PS3, one month of PlayStation Plus, and two games: Gran Turismo 5 XL and inFamous 2M. It will be $299--the same price as the most recent PS3 SKU, which included Assassin's Creed 3.

If you're still in the market for a PS3, we would recommend skipping this model, as it's not a particularly good value. The inclusion of inFamous 2 is especially strange, given that it's currently part of the Instant Game Collection on PlayStation Plus. Gran Turismo 5 XL may seem like an attractive incentive, as it includes GT5 and all its post-release DLC. However, it would be surprising if the upcoming Gran Turismo 6 didn't cast a shadow on this bundle.

      you know Sony is hurting for cash when they keep trying to create new, more expensive bundles rather than get the base price down at that magic $199 or less 7 years after release

      The black friday bundle I got was a good deal. 250GB super-slim, Infamous 1 and 2, Uncharted 1 and 2, and one month of Playstation Plus, for $200.
