I find it ironic you are all accusing starcraft for being such a big fanboy. starcraft never really trolls, at least what I have seen from him. He sometimes just a little bit to positive to the 360 sales. But then your are all calling him a fanboy, because there not many 360 supporters on this site and you just take him in numbers. We need more 360 supporters.

I think what gets starcraft in trouble is his huge bias. You could be a MS fan, and say 100 things about the 360 that are better then the PS3, and be right. Sratcraft will take any talking point (even the ones that are areas where the PS3 clearly wins), and turn them into features where the 360 is better (or the same).

Anyway, as for this bundle, is it cheaper then two items independently, or is it just advertised together?

As for the 360 being cheeper selling more 360 with the launch of this game, I think that's true. There are a number of people who really just want this game, and if that's all they want, then they will probably buy whatever cost the least to play it.

On the other hand, there are a lot of people how want a PS3, but are not willing to pay for it. The bundle is like getting a $60 discount on the system, so that will push PS3's as well.

I think everyone is going to win because of GTA4.

Starcraft always does a lot or PR work for 360 on here. It would not surprise me if starcraft works for Microsoft.
The bundles of 360 consoles with GTA 4 will do ok in the UK and around the world. But PS3 hardware will still outsell the 360 hardware no matter what.

 That's such a ridiculous comment he does not suport the 360 anymore then some Ps3 fans on this website (If anything it's the other way around). All you Ps3 fans are just taking stabs at the 360 now that the Wii is out of reach (although you still attack the Wii as well)

Bundled or not it will fail to outsell PS3 hardware/software wise in EU. I hope there will be no price cut in Europe (PS3). Sony can win this launch without unnecessary loss easily. People simply start to see the value of PS3. Sony shouldn't lower the price until December.

Rock_on_2008 , i am pretty sure that you work for SONY .

 

Just Kidding mate.

But i think its not a good saying that a member (or fanboy) works to a company, because he started a topic...

 He's just a fan of the 360, he knows the faults of the 360, he even posted some negative things about it. He just has a opinion that others do not have and that's why he is attacked.

 Apologies to starcraft for "cheap shot".

Criticising your own console doesn't stop you from being a fanboy , it only makes it less apparent. He refused to accept any of the points I make despite them being well though out,logical and valid.

I call em as I see 'em , and on this occasion no appology is needed.

Its always the case on every gaming forum that both PS3 fans and Wii fans shoot down the 360 fans on site.

@Starcraft , time and time again you prove how much of a 360 fanboy you really are , the PS3 version isn't incomplete because it doesn't have [additional] DLC.

Funnily enough the people that buy the "complete" version with their arcades won't even be able to play it. even with the arcade being 0.5X the price of the PS3 the xbox 360 has still consistently been outsold in europe.

The price point of the consoles isn't really relevant , it didn't help the 360 outsell the PS3 before GTA IV , it most probably won't help after.


http://www.joystiq.com/2007/07/26/rockstar-only-gta-iv-on-xbox-has-complete-experience/

Rockstar representative:  "But I guess if you want the complete experience with the episodes, then yeah, you should buy the 360, I suppose."

As for the price point not being relevant.  Do you agree with all the Ninty Fanboys that claim the Wii would be rooting the PS3 even if they were the same price then? 


starcraft, you're putting words into this reps mouth. he never once said the complete version is on 360 only. what, do you think it will get to 80% of the game and then cut off on the ps3 version? or 360 owners have to wait 4 months to complete the game?

i think it's clear that he said you get the complete experience. this is coming directly from what you quoted. the complete experience doesn't mean the same as the complete version. example?

gh3 on ps3 and 360 offer the complete experience because they offer dlc, but the wii and ps2 versions don't, but they still have the same complete version of the game.

i'm not trying to flame you in any way, shape or form, but i think you're going to far by saying the ps3 version is incomplete.

 He doesn't refuse it, he just doesn't agree with you. You know that's is what makes people interesting and it really is the best site from people, but it also brings about the worst site of people. Some can't stand it as others do not agree with them and that has al sorts of consequences, here it is calling him a fanboy and that's only because he is in the minority, I just hate that.
