I am new to the PS3 world and needed to get another Dualshock 3 controller for my system. Before I threw down a bunch of money for an overpriced controller, this deal caught my eye. At the time I bought it, this packaged bundle actually cost a couple of dollars LESS than an "a la carte" black PS3 controller. After you toss in the PS3 Greatest Hit game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, this is an unbelievably good deal. Saving a money is a no brainer. Even if you end up hating the game, it essentially only cost you the price of a fast food value meal. Thankfully, Drake's Fortune has received great reviews on Amazon for graphics and gameplay, so there must be some truth to the "Greatest Hit" distinction. Yes, the game is a couple of years old and the sequel (Uncharted 2: Among Thieves) has received even BETTER reviews than "Drake's Fortune", but if you're trying to expand your game collection like me, this is a steal.
One note about the PS3 controller--it does not come with a mini-USB connector cable like the controller that came with the PS3 console. This seems to be the case whenever you by an individual PS3 controller (not just this one that came in the bundle). At first this made me pretty mad that Sony was being a cheap punk, but I eventually calmed down because it really isn't that big of a deal to just switch out the cable depending on the controller that needs more juice. I was thinking about getting one of those charging stands anyways to help organize the controllers. Apparently these mini-USB cables are pretty common for a lot of electronic devices, so you might have a bunch around the house and not even know it.
All in all, this is an excellent deal. Despite Sony's best attempts to swindle me into buying an overpriced controller, I was able to stick it to them and get a free game out of it. At the time I wrote this review, the price had gone up a few dollars, but it's still a great deal if you need another controller and don't have this game in your collection. Or you could even give it away as a gift if you already own it...

Have played about halfway through the game and it's incredible. The controller works as it's supposed to as well. This bundle probably is one of the best values on Amazon. Get it now! |
good combo

| The controller is the same controller that came with the ps3, except it doesn't come with a usb cable. The game is a lot of fun. Overall cost is basically the same as one controller. Cannot go wrong with this combo. |
UNBELIEVABLE $43.99 for a GAME and Controller!

Got it on sale at 53.99 with free shipping and no tax.
Excellent price if you are in the market for a DS3 controller. Extra awesome deal since I didn't have Uncharted and was going to pick it up eventually. Basically a free game is thrown in for the price of a controller. |
nice deal, great Game

| I am lucky I got this bundle and I really enjoyed this game. Nice story and I will consider to buy Uncharted 2 when I get extra money and time! |
