Both games were heavily bundled. All the Halos were heavily bundled until the successor came out and the same goes for Gears of War. GT5 just so happens to be the first full GT of the gen. |
Ok come on, you know that is wrong. Halo-bundles died way before Halo 4 was released unless you can proove that they were bundled just before Halo 4. You try to say that there is a bundle-link for all Halos which is definitely not true and it is also not true for Gears of War. Why do you say so? Just to excuse the heavy bundeling of GT5? It's ok if it's bundled. But don't compare time-limited bundles to continually bundeling. This doesn't work.

Not true. Where I live halo Reach bundles were still selling with Fable 3. Gears 3 limited edition bundles were selling along side them (The red skull casing) early last year. I know this because every quarter I go to my neighborhood best buy and they were all still there. Kinect bundles were there as well.
|
Then this is at least not true for all regions. There are no Halo4-bundles here anymore and there were no GoW3-bundles until Judgment was released and no GoW2-bundles available until GoW3 was released and especially no (absolutely no) Halo-bundle (any Halo) available long before Halo4 was released. This shows that generally there was no bundle-linking.

Pray tell..where is it that you live?
|
A small country named Germany. And yes, we didn't have GoW2 but I get my forbidden games from austria and uk.
|
I live in America a rabid consumerist nation that's purchasing habits will never be sated. Ever heard of a day called Black Friday? Its the day doorbuster sales happen and retailers sell their wares at ridiculous markdowns to profit. When i went Christmas 2011 all of those bundles were there and went. When I came back in March.....they returned. Back then I remember as well that if you bought a PC at best buy you got a Free Xbox 360 as well. :)

Tales from my A.... Ah, oh no, this was GAF :) Yes, we can all sit around at a campfire and tell us what we experienced in our entertaining life but nothing of it can be proven so who cares anyway. I still don't see any link-bundling and there is no data this can be backed up with so unless proven otherwise there is no link-bundling.
