What the hell am I doing? I’m just crazy with deals the last couple days.

C-c-c-craaaaazy with deals.

Another one that’s just not bad no matter how you slice it.

SonyStyle Store is offering a fairly sweet deal on a 40 gig PS3 with a Six Axis controller (ie: the non-rumbling one) for $399.99 with free shipping. But you can work an angle to knock a C-note off the price.

At the check out screen, you’re offered a Sony credit card, and if you accept, you get a $100 credit. Apply for the card, and if you’re approved (which is immediate as long as you have good credit), the price of that PS3 immediately drops to $300.

You can also pull the same trick with the 80 gig PS3, knocking the $500 price to $400 delivered to your door.

That’s a mighty nice deal, if you have the credit rating.

I’m not usually one to worry about great software deals. I mean, seriously, they’re a dime a dozen.

But this one deserves a little shout out.

Right now at NewEgg.com, you can get God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PSP for $36.99 with free three-day shipping.

True, that’s only a couple bucks off what you’d pay at any other store, so it’s not really a screaming-cheap deal, but with the free shipping, it saves you the hassle of turning off your console, driving, parking, and walking.

All things a true GameHound will avoid if given the choice.

Hi folks, Cooper Hawkes here.

One of my biggest complaints about the PS3 is that it always seemed like a work in progress.  Close, but no cigar, and a bunch of other euphamisms that I won’t drain your brain with.

But now, it is a system worth owning.

On June 12th that is.

Here’s the article courtesy of Kotaku.

Not ONLY is it the 80GB model with (Limited but..) PS2 backwards compatibility.  Not ONLY does it come with Metal Gear Solid 4 included in the bundle.  It ALSO comes with one Dual Shock 3 controller.

That’s rumble to those out of the loop.

All for $499.99. 

Microsoft? You can’t top that right now.  This is the bundle that beats you from a hardcore gaming perspective.

Game on guys and girls, this is shaping up to be the PS3 year indeed.
