Wow, I read the title correctly, it definitely does say $1000

Zeixama4241d ago

Where is iWii-th U version; the one made with Apple and goes for $800

BringingTheThunder4241d ago

why not just call it the hardcore bundle or something

Relientk774241d ago

^ Yea they could have basically picked any other name and it would have been better

GamePodunk4241d ago

I was thinking the same thing... :/

That said, I do like the games it comes with though.

TrendyGamers4241d ago

Yeah, can't wait for ZombiU.

ozzywazzy4240d ago

Does it come with big boy pants?

LOL_WUT4240d ago

How about big boy underwear?

ChunkyLover534241d ago

Next gen starts when Nintendo says so!

HammadTheBeast4241d ago

If I remember correctly, Xbox launched before Wii last gen.

ZeekQuattro4241d ago

Your right the Xbox did come out before the Wii. It also came out before the Xbox360 and the PS3. lmao Who knew?

Shok4241d ago

.........I'm excited for the Wii U too,

but don't turn Drone on us lol.

Outside_ofthe_Box4241d ago

What an arrogant thing for you to say!

MDC314241d ago

i preordered the big boy bundle and the gamepad is perfect for my oversized hands... ps3's controller on the other hand.... ps3 fans must definitely be small down there

blumatt4241d ago

Seriously, man?? Seriously? The DualShock is loved my alot of people. It may not be right for you, but it works just fine for me and millions of others.

That said, I do feel like Sony might (and I say might) change their controller up a bit for the PS4 (Orbis). It's about a 50/50 chance. (I doubt it though.)

Your comment was extremely immature. Congrats.

The Wii U looks pretty cool. I didn't get the Wii, but I really am thinking about buying the Wii U. I need me some Mario. haha

Lucretia4241d ago

@MDC31.........Small Down there huh.....lol wow. i mean I guess every ps3 owners GF or wife must be sad.

i mean somethin must be wrong because my fiance is super happy if u know what i mean.

anyway, the controller for the ps3 is 95% perfect, so i dont know why your trolling, oh yeah, ur a troll

omarzy4241d ago

@blumatt. The dualshock is a great controller, but it is a bit small for me and many others. Making it bigger would be welcomed.

moparful994241d ago

I'm 6'4 300+ lbs and I have MAN hands and I have no issues with the dualshock 3 whatsoever.. I've been using the dualshock controller for years, maybe my hands are adapted to using it but Its more comfortable to me than the 360's pad.

dcortz20274241d ago

Same. I have no problem using the Dualshock or any other game controller. Btw, if these are really Ninties prices then they are in for a surprise next gen.

DarkHeroZX4240d ago

@MDC31

Hey my stuff down there tore your mom from her v to her a.

Knightofelemia4241d ago (Edited 4241d ago )

I wonder how many people will buy the $1000 bundle. I think I'll wait to see how it does and preforms before I buy one. I myself I don't like buying a console first day I wait to make sure the bugs are ironed out first.

TrendyGamers4241d ago

I'll just be getting the Deluxe Set and a game or two.

Will There Ever Be A New Rayman Game?

Ubisoft barely have a leg to stand on lately, so do they need to crack open the vaults and return platforming royalty to glory for some goodwill?

We need Rayman 4, they could make a great platformer game if they wanted. With the open hub levels and the like.

Better than relying on Rabbids and Assassins Creed all the time

Profchaos57d ago

Yeah agree id love a Rayman 2 style 3d platform game over another 2d platformer I know people loved legends but it never gelled with me same as Rayman 1 back in the day on PS it just felt like a average platformer with sonic and Mario offering something better on what was then last gen hardware

Terry_B57d ago

Yes..but I am sure it won't be the Rayman game fans want. Not from the company that is Ubisoft today.

mastershredder57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Ancel is retired from games. His hoodlum/rabbid team are doing their own thing. It would not be the same if Ubisoft did.

Profchaos57d ago

Probably far more profitable to make low effort Rabbids games aimed at kids over a next Rayman

Chocoburger57d ago

Experience points, skill trees to fill up, level gating, endless menial tasks and side quests, constantly scrounging for resources. Always having to upgrade your gear. A.KA. "The Ubisoft effect".

No thanks, don't ruin Rayman's legacy.

Profchaos57d ago

Sure there will be it'll launch right alongside the next splinter cell

GameStop Boss Says Disc Drives Should Be Required On Game Consoles

"It would be great if people had to buy more of the thing," says guy who makes money selling the thing.

XiNatsuDragnel232d ago

Absolutely consoles needs disc drives.

wesnytsfs232d ago

Nah should be optional. Not a PS fan but I like their strategy of selling an optional external optical drive. Its all about Options and this will let everyone get their way. Cheaper for digital only and then you can chose to pay more for the optical drive if that is important to you.

Profchaos232d ago

That's not official yet it's only a rumour

Eonjay232d ago

@Profchaos

But what he describes already exists in the 2 base models. If it is a rumor you can blame Microsoft for really backing it in court but if we are honest we all know it's true.

Profchaos232d ago

@Eonjay I'm not denying the appeal of it I can see it being a useful mechanism for allowing gamers to upgrade as needed however until there's concrete proof and not speculation and remember ms still bases that court submitted document off of the same leaks we see on Reddit, 4chan etc I just can't believe it.

The system would be further opened to exploitation and they would need to release an overpriced drive for consumers to buy for it and sure as they do we will hear complaints over the cost of it

ChasterMies231d ago

Absolutely consoles don’t need disc drives. My house has 2 PS5 digital editions, one since launch. Zero issues with the lack of disc drives. In fact, the digital purchasing lets us all share each other’s games, usually mine, and play the same game at the same time on-line.

shadowT232d ago

Optional drives would be best strategy.

-Foxtrot232d ago

If they did then collectors wouldn’t be getting f***** over with discless collectors editions

jeromeface231d ago

yea they would, discs cost extra... even when you're already paying a premium

-Foxtrot231d ago (Edited 231d ago )

Lmao

We are paying roughly the same now without the discs. There’s literally collectors editions which are roughly in the same price range that have a disc.

I’d rather pay a little more for something physical anyway

RupeeHoarder232d ago

No shock, GameStop is alive because of trading. If they don't have used games on their shelves they are absolutely donezo.

darthv72232d ago

Well of course the GS boss thinks this... that's their bread and butter business. That and funco pops and clothing, though those two were added as a means to supplement the decline in people buying used games or even new games. GS just sucks overall when it comes to gaming. I buy my physical stuff on Amazon or Best Buy.

As for "requiring" disc drives... nah. Not anymore, but i like having them as an option. They had a means back when games actually ran off the discs and were more/less complete. Now they are incomplete and the disc is really an installer with a license to play. If you want to change games you have to take out the disc and put in another. Its more convenient to just use digital. I have been into digital for years now and when the PSPortal comes along i wont even have to go into my game room. I will just play my PS5 from my couch downstairs. I have a bunch of digital installed games to my 5... I'm all set.
