It is strange the different behaviours in each country, here in Spain it is very strange to see people lining up for a game.

so I guess MGS4 isn't as "niche" a game as we PS3 fanboys were being led to believe here....

I don't even know people would lie up for the bundle, I mean, it's 500 BUCKS, not really a "impluse buy".

Also, I'm very surprised that Limited edition (20 bucks more) sold better than regular version. Those are definitely hardcore MGS fans.


Definitely not an impulse buy, but I think there were obviously a LOT of people putting off getting a ps3 until MGS4 came out and also people that were simply waiting because they wanted a backwards compatiable ps3.

 I think Sony was hoping their old 80GB bundle would last until now, but surprised to find out they got all sold out 4 months earlier.

now let's see what PS3 can do.

I got one form Best buy downtown today. They got tonnes left...

I ordered one from Amazon for 20 bucks less...but don't wanna wait so I got another one, and will return the amazon one to best buy. How clever is that?

 not very, because they check the serial number?

@ameratsu. lol, it's not you fault, all bestbuys look exactly alike, it's their way of making customers easy to find their way around every store. (which I think is stupid).
