+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) A Swedish retailer known as Webhallen today shown off the image of a new PS3 bundle which should hit Europe alongside the launch of GTA IV. The bundle includes a 40GB PS3 console and an actual copy of the game. Swedish retailer Webhallen has today revealed the first image of a new PlayStation 3 bundle which will be launching in Europe alongside Grand Theft Auto IV. The bundle includes the standard 40GB PlayStation 3 console and a copy of the game.The price listed is 4499kr, which is the same as the Gran Turismo 5 bundle which launched just over a week ago. While availability in other countries has not been announced, this indicates that the GTA bundle should sell for ?299.99 in the United Kingdom and ?399.99 elsewhere.

(seeing as the console retails for that - you can get it for ?260 though) Edited April 10, 2008 by Audioboxer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crenshaw Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yay, go Sweden! :) I will probably wait for the PC release. I've got a 360, but im having a hard time adjusting to the controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acies Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 It would be hilarious if there was no GTA4 with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 7, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted April 7, 2008 It would be hilarious if there was no GTA4 with it. Sony aren't MS (Halo bundle) :p Sorry, but MS deserve some stick for not including Halo 3 in the Halo bundle! For the record, of course it's going to have GTA4 bundle. It'll just be the same as the GT5 Prologue bundle. Meaning Sixaxis :( But I didn't think DS3 would be in the UK in time for GTA4 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf- Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm seriously getting sick of waiting on the Dual Shock 3. What on earth is taking them so long. UK will be last again as usual. Which is ironic. I thought it was odd us getting GT5 Prologue before America. Hmm that one puzzles me, normally we are always last. America then Japan then Europe.

Rookas Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Sony aren't MS (Halo bundle) :pSorry, but MS deserve some stick for not including Halo 3 in the Halo bundle! Not trying to defend Microsoft here, but it wasn't never considered a "bundle", just a special edition 360. Personally I think they just wanted to do something special for the Falcon chips, the Halo 360's were the first to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of DS3, it's Japan, then NA, then PAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like Singstar, which was released here first but I think it hasn't even come out in NA yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 7, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted April 7, 2008 Not trying to defend Microsoft here, but it wasn't never considered a "bundle", just a special edition 360. Personally I think they just wanted to do something special for the Falcon chips, the Halo 360's were the first to use them. They certainly priced it bundle style. It was like ?280, and the Pro was like ?250 (when I got my 360). Anyway, bad marketing move. You don't brand a console Xbox 360 Halo 3 Edition, put master chief on the front cover, and then sell the game separately. My opinion, but it's one shared by man:p:p But anyway, it's in the past now, and im sure it can be picked up much cheaper than it was when I got my 360!

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 10, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted April 10, 2008 Retail confirms PlayStation 3 GTA IV bundleUK retailer Shopto has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that a PlayStation bundle with Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV is due for release in Europe on April 29. The retailer said that there was some confusion as to who would be distributing the product in the UK ? Gem, which has the exclusive distribution contract with publisher Take-Two, or Centresoft, the company that handles distribution for Sony. "We know for a fact it is coming out in Europe and we are expecting an announcement in the UK any time," confirmed Igor Cipolletta, COO of Shopto.com. "We are not sure if Gem or Centresoft are distributing it yet, that seems to be the hold up," he added. The bundle has a RRP of GBP 299 and will go on sale the same day as the release of the highly-anticipated Rockstar game.

williamhook Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hmm....I might sell my 60GB PS3 now, cancel my preorder, and get that. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy0 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I might get that bundle ... but still no DS for Europe which is annoying to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
