Sony had an official bundle DMeisterJ, after the starter pack.

It allowed for the purchase of a PS3 and one first party game from a selection that I believe included Heavenly Sword, Uncharted and Rachet. Obviously not all the consumers chose Uncharted in their bundle, but it was a PAL-wide Sony-endorsed bundle.

Take it from someone who lives in PAL.

Gears of war 2 also come with much much cheaper bundle and also include first GeOW here in Spain. 270€ 60gb bundle with two games compared to 400€ LBP bundle. 360 is in big trouble because its still selling on par with PS3. PS3 price cut will destroy 360 completely in PAL region.

Whoops Gears 2 is bundled!

Sales of this game were helped by bundling since it's bundled in Spain. >_>

Its bundled every where in PAL region.

Well then

Gears 2 sales are padded because it is bundled in PAL. 

Didn't know that.

Gears 2 is not bundled in the UK.  It is true that the game is bundled in almost all non-english-speaking territories.

So essentially, you are arguing that the massive success of the Xbox 360 in wider Europe is fueling sales of Gears of War 2.
