Limited Edition Call of Duty Black Ops PS3 Bundle Coming Soon

Well Call of Duty Black Ops is finally getting bundled with a game console. I can’t say that I didn’t see this coming, but I was almost sure that it would have been a 360 bundle. It isn’t a secret that Treyarch dropped the ball with the PS3 version, giving gamers a bad port of the Xbox 360 version. The game was so broken from the onset that many gamers signed a petition to get a refund.

The game is reportedly better after a dizzying number of patches and is apparently now playable. I’m sure this led Sony to capitalize and make a bundle deal. The bundle consists of a 160GB system, a copy of Black Ops, and what I’m assuming is a token for the First Strike content pack. Anyway, here’s what they had to say about the bundle:

“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 through the games epic single player campaign, hugely popular multiplayer on PlayStation Network, or our fan favorite co-op Zombies mode,” said Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch. “And for those with 3D enabled televisions, the game’s Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies experiences are seamlessly set up for stereoscopic 3D on the PS3 right out of the box.”

This could sell some more units, or this could simply be a waste of time for Sony. If people weren’t swayed by the Uncharted/Killzone bundle, I can’t imagine that they would really be tempted by this. But, I’ve been wrong before.

For those interested, the bundle hits store shelves May 31st.

Actual MGS4 PS3 bundle box art (what could have been shown below)

After seeing the official box art revealed earlier today, I thought long and hard about comments made regarding its appearance. One in particular stated that it may have been a better idea to make the bundle look more like the infamous box found in the Metal Gear Solid game itself. You know — the one with the words “the orange” plastered on the outside. So I busted out my trusty Photoshop application and went to work.

Below is my rendition of what the box may have looked like had this idea been put into action. Honestly, I think it looks pretty cool and would make a nice collectors item some day. What do you think? Could you see the majority of customers understanding what the hell this thing is?
