Sony to release Call Of Duty: Black Ops bundle as well as a Resistance 1 & 2 bundle
In an effort to entice users back to their console, Sony is set to release two consoles over the course of the next few months. A Call of Duty: Black Ops bundle and a Resistance 1 & 2 greatest hits bundle are in the pipeline.
The limited edition Black Ops bundle includes a buffed up version of the original game which has the Strike Content Downloadable content pack already included, along with a 160GB PlayStation 3 console all covered with a pretty sweet looking Black Ops themed
box.
Set for release on the 31st of May, the bundle with the Strike Content Pack will give players four multiplayer maps as well as the Zombie Ascension mode. The Call of the Dead mode however, will not be included and players will have to download
it via the PlayStation Store.
The game will also be playable in full stereoscopic 3D and according to Scott A. Steinberg, Sony Computer Entertainment America’s vice president of product marketing, "PlayStation and Activision have put together an unrivalled entertainment offering for
gamers."
The move is expected to boost the sales of both the PlayStation 3 console as well as get the last few copies of Black Ops off the shelf, as the excitement for Modern Warfare 3 begins to build. The bundle is priced at $299.99 and according to Mark Lamia,
the head of Treyarch, “The choice to bundle Call of Duty: Black Ops and the First Strike Content Pack with the PlayStation 3 is perfect for anyone looking to bring home an incredible entertainment experience, that delivers endless hours of excitement.”
At the same time Sony is set to launch another bundle that will comprise of one of its exclusive first person shooter Resistance franchise, though unlike the Black Ops bundle, it will not include a PlayStation 3 console.
The bundle will come with copies of both titles, namely Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 priced at $40. While there has been no confirmation of an exact release date, one can be sure of the fact that it will be out before the launch of the series’
third title, which is due out in September.
