That is a CRAZY bundle, and it's M$ planet to clean out inventory for this Fall's launch of Natal, and probably a new chipset...damn...new console for me...maybe.

its a great bundle. Much better then the horrible Holiday bundle they put out this year.



Certainly a better deal than Lego Batman/Pure.

Hmm... why did MS do this? because they have nothing to go against Sony for March or the upcoming months. I still dont think that bundle will help snag consumers from buying Gow3 along with a ps3, or FF13 along with a ps3 etc.

Microsoft has a FFXIII bundle too.  Sony doesn't have one for the west actually, weirdly. :/

And Alan Wake is in May.  Other than that though, Microsoft's 1st party doesn't really heat up until the fall (Halo Reach, Fable III, Crackdown 2, Natal).

Dang that is a great bundle, I want both of those games and I need a larger hard drive. I wish I did not already have an xbox 360.

A multiplat........and a game of a franchise never considered a system seller, are now system sellers? 

Hmmm.....nothing wrong here.



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

Splinter Cell Conviction is out in April.

 

Forza 3 finally gets an official bundle in the US, will probably reach 4 million units sold now.

that "multiplat game" has a richer and better history on the ps3 and it's the true first gen iteration of the ff franchise. yes, it will sell consoles for the ps3. gow not a system seller? LOL LOL. i bet youre going to be one of those confused people wondering why from 5million MS lead drop to 3 million within these upcoming months

splinter cell has been going down hill since last generation and conviction is a complete reboot of the franchise. critically i dont see this game doing good but commercially cause of MS fps crowd is might sell good but it wont be a noticable system seller at leas not enough to steal the thunder from sony
