No it's not. You may be able to find some online, but they're secondhand or private resellers. You won't find any new bundles (in store on online) at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Gamestop, etc.


I just had to do a quick search on google and the first hit i got was formplaystation.com selling those bundles, redirecting us to Walmart our Best Buy?

Anyway, even if what you said was true what does it matter? People should just accept Nintento dominates the charts for all-time top selling videogames on consoles, and so what? Does it make other games less enjoyable for you? Does it bother you the top20 is completely filled with Nintendo except for 2 GTA versions?

You can argue all you want about the bundles and the the time those bundles were on sale, but in the end that is bullsh*t. People paid for it, they're sold and that's that.

Did you actually click any of the links?

It's because that bundle isn't carried anymore. Don't you think I looked up "GTAV bundle" before coming into a thread talking about GTAV?

 

Why are you so defensive? The person I responded to said Mario Kart was a "limited pack in" and I showed that it is still bundled to this day. Who said anything about games being less enjoyable? I don't care who made the game. But if being amongst the top selling games actually means "gave away 90% of the copies for free", then yea, I'm gonna dispute it because in order to be "top selling" you have to actually be sold.

I have no doubt that, if it stays bundled for years to come, Sony will brag and say that TLOU:R sold 50M+ copies or reached 50M+ households, or whatever. And I'll say "so what" because inflated numbers due to giving the game away for free doesn't really mean anything. No, it's not "people paid for it, it's sold". PS4 has been $399 since launch. TLOU is now packed in and the console is still $399. Either way, in order to get a PS4, you gotta pay $399, but now it's a "sale" for TLOU? No! And I apply the same logic to every game that's bundled for free. Destiny bundles over the holiday when it was $399 (instead of $449)? Nope, you didn't pay for Destiny, you paid for a PS4 and Destiny was a freebie, so it's not a "sale". Titanfall bundle for $499 (pre-Kinect drop)? Nope, you didn't pay for Titanfall, you paid for an XBOne and Titanfall was a freebie, so it's not a "sale".

Was FFXV: Episode Duscae "sold" to me when I bought FF Type 0 HD? When you generate 0 extra revenue because the extra product cost $0, it's not a sale. If I gave you my TV for free, I didn't "sell" it to you. It's not a difficult concept. It's the same reason why NPD doesn't factor in bundle sales in the monthly software charts.
