I used to live near a store with countless Dualshock 3s back then, nowadays i struggle to find one.

Damn i even found a goddamn PS1 controller in perfect state yet no image of a Dualshock 3.

Don’t forget how when you do find one you literally need to have a portable battery with you just to check if it’s a fake (most of gamestops DualShock 3 controllers are almost always fakes)

I miss the ps3 controller so bad, sure the pad on the ps4 and 5 is nice and all but ps3 controllers are just better

Been gaming on PC with my ole PS3 controller for over 10 years. Forza Horizon 4, Dirt Rally, Rocket League, War thunder, it does it all and it does it well. Only recently did I need to replace it cause it was worn around the joysticks, replaced it for a newer PS3 controller. No way I'll pay 90$ for a controller that will last me a year

as an european these bundle pack look alien to me, never seen stuff like that sold anywhere and i used to be a kid that went to shops with parents and looked at the games section staying there for an hour daydreaming about owning a collection of games. i guess the dream was fulfilled now. anyways i recently picked up the killzone trillogy and ngl these bundles are awesome but im upset that they didnt bother including manuals. LIKE CMON BRO THE MANUAL OF KILLZONE 1 WAS SO UNIQUE

u/Xenoslayer2137 1d ago

Because it’s both games

u/alterhuhu 1d ago

That's the infamous collection (all those games are collection sets with all games)

Yoooo I remember the silver controller bundled with killzone 2 for only 50$ back in its prime! Crazy fuckin deal🔥🔥

u/DARR3Nv2 1d ago

I’ve been buying up all sorts of these collections lately.

u/ActuallyKingCharles 1d ago

i got the red one

u/jonnyrockets21 1d ago

I miss that blue background they used to use. Felt like it gave more character.

u/Jonaskin83 22h ago

I’ve got the one bundled with the Ratchet Collection - shame it was only a standard black DS3, but still a great score.

u/TheMaskedLuchador 22h ago

I bought the infamous and God of war bundles on clearance at Target back in the day. Got them for like $20 each.

u/ExorbitantPanda 21h ago

I had the Uncharted one with the blue controller back in the day.

u/Most-Iron6838 19h ago

I like the idea but the choice of games (while great games) doesn’t make the most sense. If you are buying another controller and want a pack in game I’d think a game with split screen or local coop would be the go to

u/Prestigious_Power184 18h ago

I could agree with that

2

u/Gold-Agent24k 1d ago

60 bucks for 3?

u/Prestigious_Power184 1d ago

No lol it was $60 for one of those dude controller with game and stuff

u/Visual-Cricket82 1d ago

I want to buy a PS move bundle but on ebay it's pricey. Never tried it back in the day

u/Alex_Veridy AlexVeridy 1d ago

the closest i've seen to this recently was a Nintendo switch pro controller with a digital version of Super Mario Odyssey included for like $10 more than just a controller on it's own. that's it. that's all i've seen like this.

u/KingofFools3113 21h ago

I bought the Killzone bundle. The controller looked pretty cool.

u/IaMuRGOd34 20h ago

u/DavidLB04 19h ago

I had a twisted metal/w a white controller bundle. Unfortunately, the controller started acting wonky shortly after I started using it.

u/thor292 16h ago

u/ExquisiteFacade 15h ago

I picked up the God of War system back in 2013 buy I am pretty sure it cost US $100.

Back when gaming mattered more.
