Forums - Sales - What's up with the huge 360 increase in others?

It might have something to do with all those games being bundled with the 360's i seen advertised on the tv.

a 360 with 4 games with an added controller selling for 150 pounds.

Thats like a price reduction and added games/controller thats is Argos though but a lot of other stores are doing deals similar to this one as well.

You can also get a 200 pounds 360 bundled with Forza 3 and MW2



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

I assume Others is the area where the most piracy happens. Since Microsoft banned so many consoles, they picked up another.



Alot of good bundles, advertising, and a seasonal boost.

You're probably right with this one actually...



^agreed.

I just checked some gaming sites. The PS3's bundles are terrible.

PS3 and LBP 250 pounds.

PS3 and MW2 275 pounds

250g PS3 wolverine + batman blu ray with MW2 300 pounds

250g PS3 AC2 270 pounds.



Heres the 360's

360 elite, MW2 + Forza 3 = 200 pounds

Modern Warfare 2 Limited Ed Elite Console with added controller 250

Forza Motorsport 3 Super Elite Console 250

And a few others.



So what this means is if you want MW2 for the PS3 then you need to spend at least 275 pounds. For that you can get the Limited Edition 360 and have 25 left over. That enough to purchase 2 nice bottles of Vodka to get drunk with whilst playing MW2

You can get MW2 + Forza 3 + Elite for 200. No wonder the 360 get such a boost.

Its clear that MS is using bundles and deals to remain competitive with Sony this holiday season. They know they can't beat them but aim to just keep the gap close enough so that they can start the counter attack next year with their exclusives and Natal.
