Amazon: Buy a qualifying PS3, get Resistance 2 for free

For a limited time, purchasing a qualifying PlayStation 3 console on Amazon will also nab you a free copy of Resistance 2. All you have to do is pick any one system from this page, check off Resistance 2, and, bingo! You have yourself a brand new console with a free game, just like the good ol' days where that was the norm. One of the eligible consoles is even the 320GB inFAMOUS 2 bundle, effectively scoring you two awesome games at once.

Need a headset at the right price? Turtle Beach's X11 can do the trick

Communication is key with online shooters, and with the amount of shooters coming out this fall--Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3, and Resistance 3 just to name a few--you'll definitely need a mic. If you're in the market for a headset and can't afford to spend much cash, the Turtle Beach Ear Force X11 headset for the Xbox 360 is right up your alley. This USB powered headset also works for the PC and Mac, and connects through audio in/out cables.

Whether you prefer to connect the X11 to your television, Xbox 360 controller, or even surround sound set up, that functionality is available, as you'll get splitters and a controller connector inside the box.

Target is selling the Turtle Beach Ear Force X11 headphones for $47.99 this week, a savings of $12. If you prefer electronics retailer Best Buy, you can pick up the X11s there as well for $49.99.

As always, Amazon beats both outlets, selling the X11 for $45.99.

Turtle Beach is a well-known brand, and with their other products costing upwards of $100, you really can't go wrong with the Ear Force X11. Heck, I didn't.

[Similarly, the PlayStation 3 has the Ear Force P11 headset for $59.95 on Turtle Beach's website, and although I can't speak for this model, its description is similar to that of the X11.]

Amazon bundling Resistance 3 with PlayStation 3D Display...again

That was fast.

After removing Resistance 3 from its PlayStation 3D Display bundle and switching it with Motorstorm: Apocalypse, Amazon is now undoing its removal and will indeed include Resistance 3 along with the display itself and the free Motorstorm copy. It was only a matter of time before retailers saw what GameStop was doing. 

So, that's $499.99 for a 22" 3D display, two free games, 3D glasses, and an HDMI cable. Those in the market for one of these bad boys should have no problem hopping on this deal.

Amazon no longer bundling Resistance 3 with PlayStation 3DTVs...but GameStop is

I must admit, although I already own a pretty good HDTV, I was a bit intrigued with the PlayStation 3DTV Sony announced at this year's E3--and I'm not even that big o' fan of the whole 3D gimmick! What practically sealed the deal, on my behalf, anyway, was the fact that Resistance 3 was bundled into the television's package. Well, after only a couple of months there have been some changes...

Confirmed via Twitter by Insomniac Games, Motorstorm: Apocalypse has replaced the alien-filled shooter as the 3DTV's bundled title, which also supports the television's ability to have simultaneous full-screen-split-screen viewing. As of now, there was no reason given as to why the ol' switcheroo was done. Insomniac did, however, apologize for "any inconvenience."

If you still want to get Resistance 3 with your brand new PlayStation 3DTV, though, GameStop is taking it to the man and bundling it along with Motorstorm: Apocalypse, giving consumers two games and the television for a $499.99 price-tag.

We'll see how long it takes for other outlets to follow suit.
