Sorry, misread. Ignore my previous comment.

- Ignore.

An official "hard bundle" would be very good for Sony, but I'm sure most retailers will chuck the game in with some shovelware as well

Well, there is the 360 limited GTA IV edtition, so I expect both platforms to bring it come launch day!

Maybe the deal was that MS get extra content a year later and Sony get a bundle?

 They are doing that with the GT5P deal I've noticed. Although GAME's deal of GT5P and Rainbow Si: Vegas 2 for £300. Not bas especially as it's 2 new games.

There wont be one.

At least of what I know. Sony is going on force with a bundle strategy, and got the exclusive rights to the GTAIV bundle.

Microsoft will go advertising heavy and air adds on the DLC.

This is happening in Europe though, I can not say if its going to happen for the US, but since its Microsoft's stronghold they probably will.

The way its looking, Microsoft just screwed themselves in Europe.

Is it coming to America?

I can personally think of 50 million reason why this won't happen. But if it does, MS is a fucking idiot for giving away THAT much money without attaching more strings favorable to them.

I want a PC version of GTA4

I don't understand... How do you know there won't be a 360 bundle?

Well, even if there isn't one, a Premium 360+GTA4 = 330 € at most (less if you buy GTA4 on one of the many retailer promotions). That's a 100 € savings, even if no bundle exists. Buying the Arcade 360 will save you a further 70 €!

All in all, you can save almost 200 € by choosing the 360 as your console for GTA4. I hardly see how that implies that Microsoft is screwed.
