Do you think Resistance would've been a better choice to be bundled with the 80 gig rather than Motorstorm?

In my opinion Resistance has a more lasting appeal than Motorstorm, so it would've been a better choice for me if it was bundled with the 80 gig.

But I guess Motorstorm is just a more consumer friendly PS3 game.

You know, I'd take Resistance over Motorstorm anyday, but the fact is that because it's rated M, Sony made a wise choice to put Motorstorm in it's place.

I think they should wait till Warhawk is released and bundle that with the PS3 80gig that way all new PS3 owners will have a headset...

Back to your question though I think Motorstorm is the one that should be bundled, everone will buy RFOM anyway :)

I agree that Resistance was not included in the bundle because of the Mature rating.

But by doing this, sales of Resistance will continue to increase. I think that Sony owes Insomniac games for coming out with fantastic quality games. The overwhelming majority of PS3 owners also own a copy of Resistance. Sony would be smart to drop the price of Resistance down to $40 in August thus ensuring that basically every new PS3 owner will have a copy of Resistance AND Motorstorm in their library. The global servers have recently been unified. I think you will continue to see Resistance's online community expand fairly rapidly for another year. The overall quality of Resistance online is excellent.

Motorstorm also has outstanding online play. In many ways, I think Motorstorm online is better than Resistance online. The graphics are downright nasty and the racing is intense. If I wanted to show new PS3 users how awesome online gaming is on the Playstaton Network, I'd let them play Motorstorm.Why? Because as good as Resistance is online, it's not Halo. And that's what it is always going to be compared against.

I honestly don't think there is nothing on Xbox Live that can compare with Motortorm.

I never thought of that. If the buyer would be able to pick that woulda been good.Motorstorm is a racing game, it is a basic from point A to B type thing and is easier to use for users, plus it doesnt have a M rating. Racing games have been out since the beginning of Gaming as a whole.

Motorstorm was a decent choice ...

I think SONY should of lowered the bundle price though ... $549 would of helped sell it as perieved value would be increased ...

i mean adding Motorsotrm in costs SONY what - $5 + $15(in royalties they would get if consumers bought the game) ... + $15 for 20gb larger HDD ... thats a mere $35 increase on the cost ... $549 would of been a much better price point ...

You know I really liked the idea of waiting until Warhawk came out so the PS3's could be bundled with a headset. That'd be awesome. We need more people with headsets out there to make our online gameplay that much more fun (haha).

heavenly sword would have been much better. I can wait until september.

what alarms me is that they're apparently going to be selling the 80GB model without a game bundled in for $600 at some point. thats just a bad strategy.

Prob the best idea to have Motor Storm due to it having not sold as much and that people will buy Resistance and people like me that havent bought Motor Storm would offer them a good game for free.

lol same >.>

Yea it really sucks that the 80gb with motor storm will only be limited edition but hey not everything good lasts forever :P

I'd choose motorstorm because i just enjoy a good racing game but there are some who have different taste in games who will mostly likely complain about it being a bad move.

How do we know that the 80GB itself isn't limited? I mean, maybe they got some sort of bulk deal from Seagate when they picked up all the 80s for Korea and are now trying to get rid of them using the bundle.

because they're not going to stop producing 80GB PS3's for Korea, so why would they be trying to get rid of surpluss so soon?
