I fail to see the point of this thread?

why did you quote the OP????

On Topic
can you provide examples? here in europe there isn't much difference in the discounted game price, is similar for 1st and 3rd party.
about bundles, isn't this a normal business model? every one is doing it and is old news (really old)

It is not a bad thing in the customers' side. We get more bang for our bucks with either a "free" game or half-priced game very early on the new releases. However, is Sony just cutting into their profit when they utilize this way too often?

So much so that Nintendo is following their footsteps. Yes, Nintendo is copying Sony, again.

The difference is that Nintendo managed to sell those "free" games at (near) full price for years.

I am so confuse about this Nintendo copying Sony again... Hasn't Nintendo always made bundled consoles?

AFAIK N64 was sold without games bundled.

While I agree to an extent, a ban is probably a little too harsh. A warning though? Even that's a stretch. However, Galaki has been consistent in posting tongue-in-cheek, provoking, subtle anti-Sony threads for a long time now.

It's obvious he has a deep hate for Sony. And these threads are often unnecessary -border line rule breaking at times.

 

Just saying mods. It's consistent behavior and worth looking into.

Close, but I believe it was bundled with SM64 in france. And there was a DK64 bundle afair

I should have said "at the first years of it's lifetime" but you are right. It's probable that every console has had bundles sometime in their shelf life.
