Sony has confirmed the upcoming release of two new European PS3 bundles.

Confirming a Jeux France report, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe told Next-Gen that an SCEE-wide Gran Turismo 5 Prologue bundle will be released on March 28. It will include a 40GB PS3, a copy of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and a single Sixaxis controller for €399.

The news confirms that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue itself will be out in Europe by March 28, having previously been given a “late March” release.

Additionally, a PS3 Blu-ray bundle initially limited to France will be released on March 19 for €399. The Blu-ray bundle, which will feature a 40GB console, a single Sixaxis controller and Blu-ray copies of Casino Royale, Spider-Man 3 and 300, may subsequently be released in Spain and Italy where it could feature different movies.

Earlier this week SCEA president Jack Tretton announced the upcoming North American release of a Metal Gear Solid 4 80GB PS3 bundle and a God of War: Chains of Olympus PSP Slim bundle. The PS3 included in the US Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle will be partially backwards compatible.
