PS3 Starter Pack may be temporary after all

Contrary to earlier statement a customer email says bundle is for the summer only

NEWS: 7 August 2007 12:50 GMT by Chris Ford

Despite earlier denials as to the temporary nature of its PS3 bundle in Europe there is now new evidence to suggest that all good things must come to an end.

Questions were raised after Sony announced that the bundle of the console with extra Sixaxis controller and choice of two first-party games would be withdrawn in Australia at the end of August but Sony assured European gamers that that would not be the case here.

But despite that official announcement it appears that a different story has come to light in an email Sony has been sending to its customers.

The customers have been unhappy that they had bought the console before the promotion was offered.

Part of the email reads, "I was sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with regards to the launch of the PlayStation 3 Starter Pack. I would like to take this opportunity to stress that this is a summer promotion and that due to the nature of this offer it will end on a predetermined date".

Sony has since stuck by its original announcement and said that the offer will be ongoing. However, if there is a change then we here will bring you the latest news.
