Japanese gamers getting Xbox 360 Devil May Cry 4 bundle

PlayStation 3 isn't the only system getting some bundle love from Capcom. Microsoft Japan announced today the Xbox 360 Devil May Cry 4 Premium Pack, a hardware bundle that combines the 360 with the latest installment of Capcom's dramatic action hack-n-slasher.

The Japan-only bundle includes a Xbox 360 Standard Model, which is the Japanese version of America's Premium Pack, complete with a 20 gigabyte hard disk, wireless controller, media remote, HD AV cables and LAN cable. All hardware units in the bundle will have HDMI ports, so you'll get to experience the included retail copy of DMC4 in digital bliss.

All this in a special DMC4-themed box, for just 37,800 yen ($ 331, € 230)! In addition to being a 4,000 ($ 35, € 24) yen discount over buying the system and game separately, this price is exactly 10,000 yen ($ 88, € 61) less than the recently announced PS3 bundle, providing some incentive for DMC fans to jump in.

This is great news for Xbox 360 consumers in Japan, who want to play the most complete version of DMC4 on the market

TANOD5972d ago

X360 doesnt sell in JAPAN and no one would get this game bundle.

secondly DMC 4 is washed out on X360. even GT says that too. Not to even mention GR posted videos of the 2 versions as well

The Brave 15971d ago

What Xbox360 consumers in japan?lol

Milkman5415971d ago

Zhuk, I hope you die a slow death! Merry X-Mas!

MADGameR5971d ago

Its obvious DMC4 won't sell anymore than 10k in Japan for the 360 EVEN though the price of the 360 is less than PS3. EVERY DMC fan wants it on their home platform. The PLAYSTATION 3!

SCThor5971d ago

You get a XBOX 360 plus Devil May Cry 4 plus RROD, what else could you ask???

Xanatos5971d ago

So your buddies post an article and you coordinate to comment first ... what a sad little group.

mintaro5971d ago

fanboyism.......the 2 games are virtually the same, except for maybe a very, very, very, few minor technical differneces

UltramanJ5971d ago

Both of the japanese 360 gamers who want the bundle, will be very happy.

This is bad news for Xbox 360 consumers in Japan, who want to play the least complete version of DMC4 on the market

WilliamRLBaker5972d ago

how so? you mean by being less complete because it will come out that its got better frame rates compared to the ps3 version, or better graphics, or will score higher, and sell more in nearly every country? lol

bigshynepo5972d ago (Edited 5972d ago )

God you make this website a trial to read, i'm beginning to think that nothing short of being dropped on your head could result in someone being so bias and ignorant.

Capcom has already said that there is no difference between the games. And WE ALL KNOW that the character models on the ice creatures in the trailer look WAY better on PS3. This package set will accomplish nothing in Japan. We will not see sales in excess of 15,000 for launch week where will will see the PS3 do exceptionally well.

Japan is the land of the PS3. Oh wait, it's outselling the Xbox in Europe too... hmm.. Sounds like Xbox is going the way of HD-DVD...Microsoft better hurry up and buy some more exclusives, it seems like now that Halo has been released, no one cares about having an xbox 260 now..

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM PLAYSTATION 3.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5971d ago

Why because it's true? Riddle me this, based on past experiences with multiplatform games which one do you think will sell, play and score better? Please enlighten me on your true "droid" wisdom and prove to me anything that what he or I have said that isn't true. I challenge you to a truth duel.

vloeistof5972d ago

then we will see who sells more. ( like we dont know that already)

v1c1ous5972d ago

the ps3 version will trounce it.

worldwide?

try naming more than 3 games that have sold more on ps3 than on 360.

demolitionX5972d ago

nobody will buy the 360 version. PS3 has the better version on DMC!

TrooGamer5972d ago (Edited 5972d ago )

Well PS3 version will sell more only blinded fanboys would see otherwise look at the pre order figures.....

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC11d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos10d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga10d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer11d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey60211d ago (Edited 11d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya11d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde11d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP11d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

Bless the adorably all digital future! When it comes to PC games its not as big of an issue because there should always be another way to access single player games, but still, I hate to see anything get delisted.

Aaroncls788d ago

Well, DMC4 special edition has a lot of issues to run from Steam.
I have to get a modded executable to even be able to run the game on Windows 10.
Not sure if it is because the game runs in DirectX10 or what, but it sucks they have not even tried to fix it.

Sephiroushin87d ago (Edited 87d ago )

DMC4 Special Edition is not delisted, it was just the standard version, it has nothing to do with issues of performance or anything alike. Its just that Capcom probably do not want to sell the standard version, neither the standalone DMC3 version.

Devil May Cry 4 - 15 Years of Nero

Devil May Cry 4 launched 15 years ago today, bringing with it new character Nero. Has it stood the test of time?

Knushwood Butt447d ago

Never liked it and I think I got it day 1.

Cheap Capcom design of half a game that you have to walk through twice.

5 isn't much different in that department. Encounter the same boss three times with three different characters? Endless warehouses or alien-like tunnels that all look the same.

chrisx447d ago

In DMC 5, it's 4 times you encounter the same bosses if you count the Vergil dlc lol

Knushwood Butt447d ago

Yeah, I'm only up to chapter 19 so the total count can only go up!

kevco33447d ago

No troll, I always preferred DMC.

No haters, please.

Knushwood Butt447d ago

I'm actually with you there, but DMC has that terrible writing. Alex Garland isn't it?

FallenAngel1984447d ago

Nero will always stand the rest of time against Donte and Viola
