Sony Corp.'s U.S. game division on Wed. said that it will retail a new 160GB Playstation 3 bundle for this Nov.

The limited edition bundle will include the title Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, a Playstation Network voucher for Pain, and a Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller for $499.99.

"As Playstation Network continues to evolve with our recently launched video delivery service and more exclusive games, PS3 owners are demanding more storage capacity," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA.

"Consumers also are utilizing PS3 as an entertainment hub for their digital media, placing content such as their entire music collection on the hard drive. The 160GB PS3 system addresses this growing consumer demand in a compelling bundle that delivers significant value."

According to NPD Group Inc., the PS3 posted sales of 224,900 units in July U.S. sales to represent a 99 percent hardware sales growth from the year prior to date.

Sony this month cited the popularity of the PS3 80GB Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle, which has held a sold out status at retailers including Walmart.com and Bestbuy.com.

Additionally, the PS3 outsold Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360, which posted sales of 204,800 units in July to rank as the No. 5 video game hardware offering for the month.
