Sony Brings Its Red PlayStation 3 System To the U.S. For a New God of War: Ascension Bundle

Let’s say you wanted to pick up a PlayStation 3, but you aren’t really crazy about the “plain” black and white models that are on the market right now.  You want something that truly stands out.  Well, this March, you’re going to get it.


Sony Computer Entertainment of America has announced that they are bringing their Garnet Red PlayStation 3 system to our shores, weeks after it was first announced in Japan.  The system will be part of a stellar new God of War: Ascension bundle that will be released on March 12th, the same day as Kratos’ latest adventure.

The package includes the red PlayStation 3 system and controller, a 30-day PlayStation Plus subscription, a 500 GB hard drive, and six – yes, six – God of War games, including the God of War Saga (which comes with God of War HD Collection, God of War III and the downloadable God of War: Origins Collection), as well as a copy of Ascension.

Pricing hasn’t been revealed for the package yet, but it’s likely to go for $349.99, the same price as the Assassin’s Creed package.  Not a bad deal at all, if we say so ourselves…
