Europe always gets the best things last....and it isn't just Sony that does it either.

I'll bet Europe will eventually get the MGS4 bundle too...bundling is a more important part of SCEE's strategy than any other region.

no dualshock 3 :? and for that much money you'd expect a bit more than just GT5P.

.. and people wonder why the majority of us are pc gamers.

Well that's crap. One with an expanded demo, and the other with films!?! And no Dualshock 3? No matter how many times we're repeatedly screwed over and insulted by these gaming companies, it still annoys.

If they gave us DS3 and full BC we'd buy it in a heartbeat. But noooo, we get a movie bundle (with average movies I might add) and a bundle with a glorified demo. *sigh*

They need that dualshock in there, but to be honest, people are just going to eat up GT5P. The movie pack is good too, but the GT one is the one that will sell in Europe.

What? Why? Who said we like bundles, the units on their own sell far far more. Bundles don't do especially well here.

[QUOTE="Jandurin"]lol movie pack.xTHExJUICEx

Except its not that clever, they shouldn't be lazy, try changing the movies to different peoples taste, say a Disney version for kids, an action movie version, a drama version, you get the idea, putting three random movies in isn't great. I would suggest they make a bundles with a few of the most highly acclaimed blu ray movies available and heavy market it. The 40 gig is perfect for that.

Then people are gonna be more interested.

Im sorry throwing these three movies in is lazy.

I haven't seen the movie yet (thank God) but when they announced Venom would be in it I was :o. Then they said Topher Grace would play him so I was :|. They got it so wrong.

If Europe is like Australia(and in gaming it normally is) then it had the extremely expensive 60GB at the start(that cost $941US). but then Sony canned it. We never got the 80Gb and only have the 40Gb one which has no BC and still costs $658US.

Sony gotta make money somehow and they knew the blu ray movie part is what sells their PS3s more than the gaming part.

I never had a PS2 but I've wanted to play some of the games like God of War and Shadows of the Colossus but there is no point in buying a PS2 now. A PS3 with BC would be perfect though.

We got the software emulation 60GB SKU which as you said was canned. How hard can it be to put in BC, considering so many people want it?

Maybe because they assume when you buy a PS3 you want to enjoy PS3 games?

You mean the pricing was the last straw for you because if BC was that important to you you would have gone out and bought either a 80/60/20 GB PS3.

BS when they already have gone to the trouble of making it work and they know the feature popularity and selling power, PS3 for PS3 games doen't cut it.

PS1 B/C was important to PS2 sales in the first couple of years as well.
