Europe's Answer to the U.S. MGS4 Bundle
Mr Wilson 4 comments


I am sure that everyone, like myself, has already seen the MGS4 PS3 bundle that the U.S. is getting, presumably on the recently announced release date of June 12th.


Thanks to Dale North's Blog for this photo. Google image has nothing :)

But, there might be a much smaller number of people who have caught a glimpse of Europe's 2 bundles that will be released in March. Unfortunately they are both 40 gb systems with no DS3 included. Even with those little downsides, like no rumble and no BC, they are still pretty good deals. Well one is ok and one kinda sucks.


This is the afformentioned "Kind-of sucky" bundle.

The 40gb GT5 Prologue bundle will be released March 28th for €399. Kind of a boring, package if i do say so myself. At least it has cool box art.


This one, IMO, is much better.

The second bundle is a sort of celebration of Blu-Ray's dominant victory of the HD wars and will be released March 19th. As I stated before the system is a 40 gb with 1 Six-Axis controller included. No games are bundled but you get three Blu-Ray disks. 300, Casino Royale, and Spidey 3 are packaged in. I think thats a much better deal seing as you dont have a game forced upon you that you dont really want. You can pick up this bundle with a game or two of your choice and your set. While these might not be the best movies ever, there is no doubt that they will all look amazing on Blu-Ray. Like the first, this one will retail for €399.

What do you guys think about these bundles? Which of these three would you rather have? I know that the MGS4 set is finally going to push me over the PS3 edge.

Looks like it was a good idea for me to get a 60bg w/BC when they got discontinued. Sure I was living on cheese and bread for 2 months but looks like it was worth it :D

As for those 2 new bundles....man they both suck... I'd probably go for the movie one but I'm sure retailers will be doing other/better deals as well...
