I'm talking MS/Sony business here. I'm using myself as an example of why Sony has a good strategy. If you can't see this then maybe you should just give up reading.

Well, there's two bundles. The Konami one that is limited, and the normal one which you should be able to pick up at Best Buy or GameStop.

It's true. My PC sucks, and I only own a 360. I appreciate the other systems though, you know?

It wouldn't work as well. IT's the same when Cows claim Resitance 2 will move consoles.... Gears started on the 360, anyone who's a fan already owns a 360, or sold one for whatever reason. If they sold one, odds are they wont buy one again. If they own one, well, that's obvious. IF they don't own a 360, odds are a sequal won't motivate them to buy a console when they havn't played the first game. I could be wrong, who knows, but I think it's safe to assume I have a good theory going here.
That being said, if they really want to move consoles, they should Bundle Banjo or Fable with the 360, that will move more consoles.

How would that work though? There are so many cinematics, it just wouldn't all fit on a DVD.

Bundling Gears would be pretty sweet though. I'd buy it.

I don't know. Halo 2 moved Xbox's just based off hype. I think MGS4 hype is enough to move PS3's. We'll see, I suppose.

I think they are doing pretty damn good sells wise who would have though they could hold there own with the ps3 anywhere not me.....and they are as long as they keep making everything the ps brand had a multiplat then they will keep doing good and making new IPs of there own that they produce then there golden the rest of this gen next gen though they need to think of how to beat the ps brand not just hang with it.

I don't know. Halo 2 moved Xbox's just based off hype. I think MGS4 hype is enough to move PS3's. We'll see, I suppose.


I'm sure MGS will move a lot of consoles, but it's fanbase was established in previous gens. However..yeah, you're right about Halo 2, never thought about that :?
Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see. I still think that a game with a fanbase built from last gen would work better, like banjo or fable, but we'll just need to wait and see.

I don't like MGS4.. so how is this a good move for Sony? OBVIOUSLY if you like that game and were planing on buying a PS3 you'd pick this up. But MGS4 isn't THAT kind of game that will "make" people buy PS3s. I'm saving my money for a FFXIII bundle. :D

MGS kinda' is that kind of game. I doubt I'm the only one buying a PS3 for this game. It has hype with people who don't really follow the business.

Blog it or make a thread that holds a good argument.

I mean sure the MGS4 DS3 PS3 bundle for $600 bucks or whatever is nice, but there's more people out there that would rather have a cheaper priced PS3 or even have a different game bundled.

Except this time Microsoft should include the game with the bundle. I was so close to buying a X360 when Halo released then I found out the game was extra and said forget it.

This from the guy who said MGS4 could get a 10 here. Come on, it's ok to admit that MGS4 will be a great game, even though you detest Sony. And the bundle is $500.

I was buying it. Until I realised that here it's only a 40GB been packed with sixaxis for $749AU ($720US). I'm not buying a PS3 untill I can get Dual Shock 3 as standard. It's $99.95AU ($96US) fo ar DS3 here, and Im not paying an extra $100 for somnething that should have been standard to begin with.

Except the Blu-ray format is crashing, crumbling like the Titanic did when it hit the iceberg. Blu-ray as a movie format appears to be failing, to be honest.

People are quite content with DVD (even tho Blu-Ray looks great on HDTVs). I always saw this as a scam really because it's quite easy to fit HD content on a standard DVD.

At this rate, who knows what Sony will bundle their PS3s next, it might be even sweeter. I mean who knows, they might have a bundle that includes a DS3, hdmi cables, and a blue tooth headset, packed in with a game or movie for $300 bucks.

People have waited this long and they're getting a sweet bundle, so I expect people who waits longer will get a sweeter bundle.

Yep, blu ray being like the Titanic is a great description. I mean sure the Titanic was built and was a success just like blu ray winning the format war, until an unforeseen problem sunk it. Blu ray dvds are so expensive, and sales are dropping like the people jumping off the ship.

How is that? Are you coming sales year over year which have increased or sales last quarter to the quarter before which was Christmas and the Holidays?

now you know how lemmings are when one of 'em turns their back to the pack..

at least cows, hermits, and sheeps respect each others' decision whether they're good or bad.

btw TC i'd go for the 80g piano black PS3 though but that's just me.., i've preordered my LE MGS4 and tryin' to make a race out of work just for the bundle since you can't have them reserved.

I will wait till the PS3 is redesigned, gets a price drop and the game itself is like 30 bucks.

Why you ask? Because it is so far ahead of its time i don't want to ruin other games for myself.
