| Onyxmeth said: I disagree. They should bundle in Grand Theft Auto IV and 12-Months of Xbox Live as a way to attract those wary about paying for online. Or they could bundle a Netflix account for 12 months and 12 months of Live, which would be a nice cross promotion. Or they could bundle Call of Duty 5 and 12 months of live if they can get Activision's A-ok. In any case, the best deal would be to sell Live with the console for at least 3 months minimum, to a maximum of 12 months on the Pro and Elite SKUs. |
That's some good ideas. I'd be happy to see any of those.
The other one's I wouldn't mind seeing is Microsoft trying to develop a following for some of their first party games. For example you could bundle Banjo in an attempt give Rare a greater following on the console. Or you could bundle Lost Oddysey, as an attempt to broaden your role-playing userbase. I think overall targeted bundling is a good idea, similar to what they did with Forza last year (the 3rd game will likely sell far more than Forza 2 could've done without the bundle).
