PlayStation 4 Black Friday Bundle - Lego Batman 3 and Little Big Planet 3
Review
Amazing Bundle on the PS4!
I have been waiting for the best time to get a PS4. This is an amazing deal! I personally <3 LBP games from the PS3. My kids love playing them too. It's a big discount since both games would be $59.99 each! I cannot wait until this comes! It's a "Christmas" present for the kids but they're going to share it with me too. ;-) Now will I be able to stand the wait or will Santa come early this year...
**Update** Well this was connected the night it was delivered. There was no waiting until Christmas for the PS4. It came with a $10 voucher for PlayStation Network. I downloaded the LittleBigPlanet 3 game. If you have played LittleBigPlanet games then you know that Stephen Fry has been the narrator. I was pleasantly surprised that Hugh Laurie does the voice for a main character in the new game. It's great that they're doing something else together. To get the PS4 with two games and a voucher for $399.99 is a great deal. The kids play LBP and other games I have...
PLEASE READ FIRST
Awesome deal. I had been waiting for a good time to buy a PS4 since it launched last year but I was holding out for a bundle of some sorts. I chose this over the GTA V and the Last of Us bundle because I had played GTA (perhaps too much) on my Xbox 360 and had no interest in getting it again.
However, I was very excited to play Little Big Planet 3 and Lego Batman 3. I've been a fan of both since the first LBP and Lego games and these do not disappoint. Haven't had much play time with Little Big Planet yet since I've been addicted to Lego Batman but from what I can tell, it plays just like a LBP game should play.
Also I want to point out explicitly that it says right there on the box that Lego Batman 3 comes as a physical disc copy while you must DOWNLOAD Little Big Planet 3 with the included download code found in the plastic sleeve along with the quick start guides/etc.
Please do not be mislead by some of the other reviewers saying they were cheated...
The Perfect PS4 Bundle for a Family or Younger Audience
To parents and adults who are contemplating on buying a Playstation 4 for a younger family member or relative: If you were waiting to buy a PS4 but were not sure if the ecosystem would have enough children and family friendly games, then this is the bundle for you.
The Playstation 4 is known primarily as a "mature" video game console, like the Xbox One, and very different from the Wii U. But don't be fooled, it has its share of really good kids and family games. I would go as far to say it is more family and children friendly than the Xbox One, because here is a great example.
It has many Lego games that are fun for the whole family, and the Lego Batman 3 game included is the latest in the Lego DC comics franchise. As with Lego games, this game is filled with fun and sly/cynical adult humor, but in a good, light-hearted way - nothing offensive.
There is also the Lego Hobbit franchise, the Lego Marvell comics franchise, and the Lego movie game.

PS3 500GB LEGO: The Hobbit Bundle
Perfect
Got it on time, packaged carefully and it is great. Came with everything listed. Took about 20 min to hook it up including unpacking. The best thing I thought was that it came updated. My oldest son has one and when e got his it needed a system update soon as it was un-boxed which was weird because he pre-ordered it when they first came out. But anyway this is a great product and well worth it.
Very good replacement to YLOD PS3
Awesome PS3. My previous PS3 died of the YLOD syndrom (Yellow Light Of Death, look it up) and I couldn't carry over my game saves because their encrypt the data to a unique PS3... But this new PS3 works great and is a FANTASTIC value today for gaming, Blue-Ray and multimedia Full HD system. It plays Netflix and Amazon Prime and more also. I wish the disk compartment cover was a little sturdier and the fan was silent, but the value is there with 500GB and a Dual Shock remote with vibration. For me, this is better than a PS4 that doesn't read any of my PS3 games, why would I buy that?
This was a great deal for the price.
The game...nice addition but the PS3 gives you what you need at a reasonable price. So far no issues at all.

Lego City: Undercover - Nintendo Wii U
Great Game -- Loading Issues Not an Exaggeration
As a gamer and an adult Lego geek, I am really enjoying the game. Seeing everything being built out of Lego's just like in the real world is a real treat for me. Lot's of detail and it's fun picking out all the real life buildings and pieces. The story and dialog is cute and I have actually laughed out loud a couple of times. Some folks have mentioned some disappointment in the graphics department but I feel the game looks pretty good. Perhaps my expectations were just set a little lower than some other reviewers but I feel the subject matter of Lego's is presented well graphics wise. Could it be better polished here and there?...sure, but nothing that is taking away from the game for me, and some game elements are actually quite impressive visually. I could go on about some other positive aspects of the game but feel I might just be repeating some other reviews. What I do feel I need to address is the loading times. Now reading the reviews and owning a lot of WiiU games,...
Best Lego game yet.
I have played every lego game there is to play. My son and I have enjoyed them all, although I really didn't dig the Harry Potter ones personally. But all the different Star Wars games, the Indiana Jones, both Batman, Pirates of the Carribean, Lord of the Rings. We have played them all. This is by far the best yet.
I have not played it, as the one draw back to it is that it is a one player game, but have watched my son play it. Despite that, the use of the WiiU controller makes up for it. He has used it as a map. He has used it as a voice scanner to find bad guys (and if you target someone who is not a bad guy, the voice is usually saying something funny). He has used it to scan the city for bad guys (rotating around the living room 360 degrees sometimes to find them. I think it's cool, and as a kid, he loves it.
Your character evloves as the game goes on. Instead of multiple characters that have different actions to go back in free play and find new things, the...
Another winning title from Lego!
I've always been a fan of the Lego series of games. I had high expectations for this game and it did not disappoint!
In Lego City: Undercover you'll be playing as Chase McCain, a detective armed with many disguises (each offering its own set of abilities) and a mission to put a stop to Rex Fury and his crime spree and restore peace to Lego City.
There's tons to explore and collect and I foresee getting many hours of enjoyable play out of this game. The graphics are what you'd expect from a Lego game and the GamePad is put to good use with the ability to use it for map viewing as well as a tool to spy on suspects and scan for items on the tv screen.
My main gripe about this game would be the loading times being longer than I'd prefer. I'm finding this to be the case with several Wii U games so it may just be par for the course with this system but I feel it's still worth mentioning.
Also, this game is single player. I typically play these...
