Bundle is too expensive IMO

Retail bundles happen every day. Unless the game is in the box with the console, this is not an official Microsoft bundle.

We've had so many of these stories where "bundles" are reported. These aren't Official Bundles but more so retail/promotional offers. Microsoft have already confirmed in their GTA4 commercials that the game and console will be sold separately, hence no GTA/360 Official Bundle from Microsoft themselves.

Now thats a bundle...kinda expensive though...

sonarus5841d ago

Its not an official bundle its more like buy a 360 for so so price and get halo 3 and GTA4 free. Its still better than nothing though but it won't receive the same attention as an official bundle with the game art on the box and everything

GutZ315841d ago

For gods sakes, stop posting gameplayer.com.au story.
This is just getting ridiculous.

chaosatom3335841d ago (Edited 5841d ago )

ARE they even SERIOUS? People already bought halo3 who ever wanted to buy one. Who might be holding out?

Just a GTA bundle with lower price is the way to go.

Now MICROSOFT is going to pretend to have shortages of this bundle few days before gta even comes out.

I want to see this on store-selfs, then i will believe it.

dan-boy5841d ago

which then makes it not so bad! and i have to disagree sonarus, a bundle with a free game, is a bundle with a free game! not many people are gonna be bothered by some art work on a "box", that's never gonna see the light of day once the console comes out of it.

anyway, more impotartantly, when are crap articles, from this crap aussie-blatantly-anti-microsof t-site gonna stop???? i know it makes the unashemed fanboys that run and contribute to this site feel better, but seriously, they are crap!

If this is true, then MS will be in a good position at the end. Nice counter.

But where's the North American Bundle MS?

Edit: Lol, at all the Disagrees.

Breakfast5841d ago

theirs a disagree monster on the loose...they can smell Halo from a mile away.

Descendant5841d ago

Paying $500 for a Core Console and two games: Halo 3 and GTAIV is not even close to being worth it. The PS3 + GTAIV is a lot cheaper and Microsoft seriously must be insane if people are that stupid to pay 500 dollars for the cheapest sku you have on the market. By the way should I mention the pro packaged at $679.00? That is just ridiculous.

J4son 3605841d ago

The bundle is too expensive IMO,should just buy a Ps3 and the game separately.

SlappingOysters5841d ago

don't forget that this is an Aussie site, so Aussie prices... which are much more that OS.

By comparrison, Harvey Norman is offering an Elite and GTA IV for $698 in Oz, which seems like a better deal really. Surely Halo 3 is like $30 on ebay now.

Breakfast5841d ago

@ J4son 360

lol...youve taking it so far, its funny now...screw it, ill give you a bubble :)

JasonPC360PS3Wii5841d ago

This guy seriously has somthing wrong with him. What is this like the 5th copycat account you have had? I must be popular, or hated amongst the PS3 community, which is fine by me :)

heroman7115841d ago

this is probably a store deal cause thats a big loss on microsoft if they put those 2 games in a bundle and its too expensive

mikeslemonade5841d ago

Don't worry it's Austrailia how much can they sell anyway? They just want to sell enough to be a presence in Austrailia. This is in no way a counter to the PS3 GTA4 bundle because there's more people in California than the entire country of Austrailia.

heroman7115841d ago (Edited 5841d ago )

ya i kno the bundle probably wont sell as much as the ps3 bundle but i cant see microsoft putting these 2 major games in a a bundle, especially with the arcade version. so imo i think this is just a store deal and plus if u look at it gta4 is just 7 days away and if this was in all of australia why havent we have heard of this sooner from many other sources like we have the playstation bundle or heard a confirmation by microsoft ? y wud they bundle it with the arcade version, that has no hard drive, if they are getting DLC bigger than san andreas ? If they were putting a new bundle all over australia i wud see them doing it with the Elite

kwicksandz5841d ago

I find it highly offensive they way you dismiss my entire country and have reported your post as offensive. the 360 already has a retail presence in Australia and this bundle (even the pro) is cheaper than a 40gb ps3 with no bundled games here.

Your also crazy if you think bundling the systems best selling game with the systems most anticipated game is a bad idea.

Grand Theft Auto 4 Anniversary: The Beginning of the Age of RAGE

Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.

Wasn’t the Table Tennis game the first to use RAGE?

isarai353d ago

Was about to say the same, but they do say first "in the franchise" so 🤷

cammers1995353d ago

The fact it hasnt been remastered is insane.

The series' most overhyped and overrated (especially by critics) more like.

Number1TailzFan355d ago

Not sure tbh.. I'd say 3 was the most overrated. It's pretty rough to go back to, it was quite rough even trying it just after Vice City. Lack of humour and vehicles that had the weight of polystyrene with top speeds to match.

VC & the stories games (even LCS) were all fun. I remember there being a lot of praise for GTA 3 on TV and in game mags, saying it was a Dreamcast killer of a game or words to that effect, and honestly after playing it on PC I didn't think it was that special and kind of dull, had the odd moment of fun but hardly anything. I heard they cut online multiplayer at the last moment for PC, shame because it could've made all the difference.

Would've loved to have seen what kind of cartoony GTA style game they could've done on Dreamcast as a competitor, I bet something along the lines of Simpsons Hit & Run would've worked well.

BlackTar187354d ago

@numberz How can the game that defined a generation and was copied by everyone be overrated? Was a asinine comment

seanpitt23354d ago

For me 4 was better than 5 was more realistic and the physics was on another level! 5 was a major let down in that department!

Number1TailzFan354d ago

@blacktar you have your opinion i have mine. I found the game dull, and it is for the most part. It set the foundation for the much superior SA and VC however.

KwietStorm_BLM354d ago

You say GTA III is overrated because it's rough to go back to and rough to play after Vice City. Your entire opinion is in hindsight. Of course it's rough going back to it today. It came out over 20 years ago. That doesn't take away from the fact that it pioneered a lot and was a paradigm shift for a lot of trends in game development today. Vice City in a lot of ways is just a more refined version of III. It was San Andreas that took the big leap forward from a design perspective. If III doesn't release, who knows if the open world genre would be what it is now. How can that be overrated?

1nsomniac355d ago (Edited 355d ago )

Not at all. My most played game of all time. Truly stunning accomplishment in gaming and with PC graphics mods it just took it to levels beyond anything that came before and possibly even after.

People who moan about it generally tend to be people who played it on under powered consoles and couldn’t handle the more realistic car physics. It was the slightly more realistic approach that made it stand out more. Absolutely love it. In fact I always said Vice city was my favourite of all time. But after going back to the remaster I realised 4 was actually the best.

Profchaos355d ago (Edited 355d ago )

I'm no critic and I consider it the best games in the franchise after recently replaying every entry it's story when paired in conjunction with it's DLC was and still is amazing.

shinoff2183354d ago

Lol. Fun fact. That dlc cost a certain green colored console 50 million for exclusiveness. Un heard of back then. Just to point out the hypocrisy of the 3rd party exclusive agenda going on.

Anyway how the dlc better then the base game by a mile. Lol imo

DigitallyAfflicted354d ago

I've enjoyed gta4 the most from all the others too.

DarXyde354d ago

San Andreas holds a special place in my heart. Honestly, I couldn't get into IV at all. Didn't even finish it. I had some pride in playing it at first because I'm originally a New Yorker, but it just didn't do it for me.

To each their own.

shinoff2183354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

Gta sa for sure. To this day my favorite. My least fav is gta 4 easily. Gta 4 made me feel like the dude in next friday trying to take the cd back talking about i cant get jiggy wit this.

Maybe looking back it would be 3 but 3 did so damn much for gaming in general. . My first gta was of course the top downs so the series has came a long way.

notachance354d ago

Yeah I remembered falling asleep playing the last mission in GTA4.. the most boring protagonist (out of all the voiced protag), and the town is too small.

Not really

Overrated

Boring

Liberty City despite being a reimagined version for the HD era lacked any variety

Lacked the GTA fun charm overall

Niko was bland compared to past protagonists like Tommy, CJ or Victor

blackblades354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

GTA 2 was the best, lol my only owned GTA game. Vice city was alright when I rented it back then. I cant really say which is the best cause those the only 2 games i played but GTA 2 was fun on PC back in the day. Closes game to it that I enjoyed was SR3 and I dont care what people say. That none serious tone was fun enjoyable.

banger88355d ago

Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.

isarai355d ago

Nah, it's a masterpiece in attention to detail and the amount of immersive systems at play. But it really isn't very fun, ESPECIALLY when compared to the previous games in the series. Like tons of things are just wonky and actively kneecap lots of experimentation, or is just lame. Like why do I take huge damage when falling into water, why can I only stand in very specific large trucks when they are moving but not smaller trucks and vehicles, why is the melee combat such a massive down grade from GTA SA and GTA IV, why is the euphoria nowhere near as reactive, why is being drunk using a rasterized animation of staggering rather than the far more entertaining euphoria GTAIV and RDR used when you were drunk, why do npc vehicles barely react to you popping there tires even at high speed, etc etc.

I've always loved playing around in GTA games world. Like the campaigns are great but the majority of my time was always spent just playing in the open world. Yet GTAV is the only game in the series I never really returned to after beating it, it just lacks that fun factor the others have, I spent more time in GTA SA remastered than GTAV

chicken_in_the_corn355d ago

It's one of my least favourite GTA games. It's clunky, the ai is exploitable, it's far too long and the writing is absolutely awful.
