Jaces - 167 days 3 hours ago

I'd prefer the Halo/Fable2 package, but this is a good one too.

Good choice for a console bundle.

I wish the console was a limited Gears of War version. Now that would be nice!

I'm not so keen on just pack in games, but hey more for less is always good.

LOL this bundle kinda makes me laugh. :P

It's like putting your two most "oopsies" together. Gears 2 still to this point is a mess and was a flop to anyone who likes non glitchy games. I mean by all means if you have a high tolerance to BS occuring while you are trying to have fun then more power to you. I played Gears 1 for 6 months straight and Gears 2 for about a month total.

My 360(thank god) still hasn't RROD, but packaging it with Gears 2(fails constantly) is just sort of silly to me in THAT sense. As a marketing idea it's genius, because as crappy as the MP is for Gears 2 it's still a game everyone should get around to playing this console generation.

:( Hopefully Gears 3 will be beta tested and put on dedicated servers if/when it comes out on the next Xbox.

Interesting that this is announced now. You'd think this news would've made a nice addition to whatever they do at E3 (considering it comes out 4 June makes me wonder if someone didn't jump the gun).

BTW, this is a very enticing offer for someone like me who still doesn't have a 360 and only ogled Gears 1 at a buddy's house years ago.

EDIT: Just read below that this has been out since last year in the EU so disregard the first part of my comment. Didn't realize they have the GOTY pack too. Damn and my birthday is coming up soon, might have to jump in after all.

Yeah, strange they didn't use the Red console packaged with Resi 5? Either way, the package is pretty awesome.

It would be awesome to have a black console with red trickles of blood down the side for a Gears bundle.

Or at least black with the Gears 'omen' logo (the red gear with the skull) on the side?

Agreed, I saw the box and just expected the console to be red! lol

White looks better imo anyway.

Sayai jin - 167 days 3 hours ago

Agreed. I think this bundle should have came with some sort of Gears logo. It would be nice if they would do different color schemes. I guess that's what the skins are for.

Immortal Kaim - 167 days 4 hours ago

Yeah, awesome bundles.

The GotY bundle is supposedly out now, though the main difference between that and the Gears one is that the GotY bundle features an Elite.

I reckon Sony should do an Uncharted 1 & 2 bundle.

and the MGS4 backwards compatability bundle keeps popping up in retailers.

I agree though, i wish i was just coming into console gaming now.. i'd pick up a gears 2 bundle and a killzone 2 or inFamous bundle! (Couldn't get MGS4 one, not available in the UK).

I mainly play offline, multiplayer for me is simply the bonus on top of the singleplayer. =)

I haven't played Gears 2 online yet, but it's still fun with offline bots.

I'm not sure that would do well in sales numbers. I know the consumers know they would be getting all these games with it too, but not many people would want to jump that deep at first.

What got me thinking though, is that sony and microsoft could put a greatest hits disc in one of the bundles that include all the best XBL and PSN games, or put one in with every console sold, but the disc only has the demo versions of them - could be a great way to tempt people to get connected.

Its fun this, you know - dreaming up console bundles.. at 6am.. while watching doc from sarcastic gamer streaming himself talking to us on the shoutbox..

Ugh..

But not a disc - new 360s come with the hard drive already loaded with arcade and full game demos, and some complete arcade games.

Same with any 360 hard drive you buy now - my new 120gb had about 20 arcade game demos, 3 full game demos and 3 complete arcade games.

DeathroW22 - 166 days 17 hours ago

Yeah, when i got my last 360 i got a few demos on there. But there were not many at all and they were not showing off what was good about XBL at all.

kb8mvp81 - 166 days 21 hours ago

i can see why you posted this as i bought it day one but at the same time people will disagree with you. to be truthful i got rid of my 360 last month due to microsoft's console not being as reliable as the others. it hurts because i had a lot of great games but i got tired of it breaking down and having to wait 2 weeks. i will jump back in when microsoft's 360 can be more reliable. hopefully they can fix it sometime early next year i would buy another then.

You can always spot the fanboys on N4G just by going to a 360/PS3 only article and seeing who is the first to bring up the other system.

P.S.

You claim that Sony bundles their games with consoles because they DON'T have faith in them?

Seems to me like Sony has ALL the faith in the world in inFamous if they think it's so good it'll help move consoles.

So much "faith" that they spend the same amount on advertising as developing the game it self. lol

Maybe if sony spent money to advertise their games. They would sell better. Spending $30 mil in advertisement for halo is a bad thing???? I guess not when the game sells 10 mil units.

Killzone 2 has sold over a million since launch which ISN'T like sh!t.
The PS3 didn't sell 21 million units because of a single game, unlike the xbox360 which people only had one game to look forward to and it ultimately sucked, Halo 3.
Wana know what selling like sh!t is like? Just look at the xb360 in Japan.
And yes Japan makes a difference.
The other day I saw an article about the PS2 beating the PS3 in sales, looked at the article, it was NPD only. Once I added the Japan numbers from Media Create, the PS3 outsold the PS2 by a a ton.
