I just noticed this on the website for my local retailer here in Stockholm, Sweden. If it is coming here, I would be very surprised if it was not a european deal.

The date is the 29th of April, and the price is the same as they are charging for the GT5p-bundle, so this will probably be possible to find cheaper elsewhere.

What do you think about this? Will this affect sales at all? Will Microsoft do something similar with the XBox360?

I think this is a good move by Sony, especially since it is released in Europe (where they are strongest) so i would expect sales to be great for Hardware :D

That's really an awasome deal, if its true of course.

This could be big if it's an exclusive deal with Sony to have a PS3/GTAIV only bundle in Europe.

Microsoft will definetly follow suit if they can, but a deal may have been made.

I don't think there could possibly be an exclusive bundle deal with Sony.  Microsoft should (and may have) really have locked up exclusive bundle access as part of the $50 million, but at the very least they won't have lost that exclusivity to Sony.

here's damage control

Starcraft, microsoft will do the bundle also, you have to be really dumb to not bundle their biggest game until gears arrive, since competition is doing it.

I don't think bundles even came into the deal. I mean, if they had, then surely Microsoft would have demanded
bundle exclusivity.... especially in Europe! Methinks that they might just have plumb forgot about it 

Hmmm. What will Microsoft do next? I wonder......

WOW,

that is HUGE

IF MS has no bundle, this will just kill the Xbox360 in Europe
