A range of new Slim bundles could be on the way to the United Kingdom in time for the vital festive season. Reports online suggest a new 250Gb bundle could land as soon as October.

The new packs might include either 2, 5 or 2 - in addition to the 250Gb system - all for 299.99 GBP.

The bundle is said to have confirmed by an unnamed insider, October's early release covering Uncharted 2, with Assassin's Creed 2 due in November - the Gran Turismo pack likely at some point in December.

No official word has been offered by Sony, but we're expecting word from the platform holder soon, nonetheless.
