PS3 Gran Turismo bundle coming Comments by Ellie Gibson

Where the hell are the dualshocks you b*st*rds!

Psychotext, Where the hells your PS3? ;-)

Ehm, packing in an elaborate demo instead of MGS 4 . No thanks.

Wonder how many people will be suckered into thinking it's the real thing.

Only idiots who have no idea what the GT Prologue/Concept games have always represented would be suckered into thinking they were getting GT5 and I hardly think this pack will sway the non-GT fans, they're much more likely to go with the Casino Royale, Spiderman 3, 300 Blu-Ray pack.

Now give me a 16:10 mode so I can use it on my monitor without distortion, and backwards compatibility, and I am in.

Otherwise, meh.

So i was going to buy a PS3 this weekend - does that mean i'd be an idiot too and I should wait?

It's hardly a demo. There are hours and hours of gameplay. 40+ in my case.

GT5 Prolol (by Plolyphony Digital).

Well, somebody was going to do it.

Needs dual shocks to be a proper bundle if GT5 'demo' is included?

Also - what's that in proper money none of this euro shit.

You can get a 40gb PS3 on amazon right now + hdmi cable + burnout paradise for £299, which leaves 1 shiny penny from £300 that you can use to wedge under the ram chips on your broken 360. :)

You're wasting your breath, jonsaan. Some just aren't going to give up that whole demo thing...

maybe but it's only a £17.99 game in some areas.

I think play's upcomming ps340gb+nija gaiden+drakes fortune bundle @ £299 is going to be more value, then pick up GT5 prologue for the cheaper price.

unless of course the GT5 pack has dual shock 3 as standard (which it doesn't look like) in which case it's a smart buy (if you want a ps3)

*cough*

Poor UKR, still shoveling the same old crap.

They've got a point though - since when have Sony done bundles with 'half games' and where the hell is the dual shock? Seems a bit of a desperate move. A dual shock bundle with Drakes Fortune for £299 would make more sense.

If it included a DS3 and BC and a 80GB HDD I'd buy it.

No 80gb and DS3 - NO BUY.

We can't have dual shocks yet as we have to buy all the existing UK and JAP stocks of the crippled pad at the same price first.

What? What?

So, the US get the über-bundle, containing this:
"The Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle will go on sale in the US in late Q2. It will contain the game, an 80GB PlayStation 3 and DualShock 3 controller. The bundle will cost USD 499."

Translated to real money, 500 USD is about 330 Euro.

And we get a bundle containing HALF the hard disc capacity, NO PS2 backwards compatibility (which wikipedia claims the US 80 GB has), an obsolete sixaxis (no shock) and fuuuu.... damn, but I try to restrain myself, but this time I actually have to use the F-word, pardon my french: .... and a fucking DEMO?!

At 399 Euros - 70 Euros MORE than the US überbundle?

Now - I love my PS3 and all, but that is no way to do business, Sony. Get your act together. That's not a bundle, is an insult.

I'm actually fully in agreement with UK:R on this - it's a shit bundle to announce just days after the US gets one that is actually quite desirable and would (dare I say it) be very exciting news if it was to be made available in Europe.

The continued lack of a backwards compatible alternative to the 40GB model is probably the main reason I'm not even thinking of buying a PS3 right now. And, of course, the continued delay in launching the Dualshock 3 over here (and bundling it with new PS3s) is just another reason why I'm inclined to wait.

Personally, I don't give a toss how big the HDD is - I just want to know that if I'm spending £300, I'm getting a PS3 that is something approaching the definitive version. Unfortunately, Sony have never actually launched the definitive version (i.e. the US and Japan's 60GB model with full hardware PS2 BC) in Europe, so I'm probably destined to be a bit disappointed, but for those of us who dared to dream that the announcement of the 80GB MGS4 bundle in the US would be a precursor to something equally good in Euroland, this thing is a bit of a kick in the gonads.

The US MGS4 bundle isn't coming out till June. We will probably get the same but SCEE are not going to announce it now when they've got GT5 Prologue to promote.

Yeah, whatever.

Proper BC, 80Gb, DS3 or no sale. No rush, no temptation whatsoever.

...until God Of War 3 / Shadow/ICO 3 comes in 2 years.

Well, I am (surprisingly) getting seriously interested in the PS3 now. However Sony continue to offer the shit end of the stick to us in Englandland-o. As other have said above - I`ll wait for proper BC and a real dualshock before I take the plunge. (LBP and GoW 3 will push me closer to the edge tho)

Your getting warm Sony, but not warm enough.
