This will have great sales in EU everybody knows how passionate the world is on football (except US) great bundle but wouldn't it be better to bundle with a Sony game? I mean EA will eat lots of revenue from this bundle but maybe they deserve it as they were the first to really heavily support Home! All EA needs now is announce Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 and close MS's coffin for good!

Zedux6088d ago (Edited 6088d ago )

This bundle will hit hard PES 2010 sales but maybe Konami deserves it after going multi-plat with MGS!

meepmoopmeep6087d ago

i'm waiting for a good bundle in Canada to pick one up for my sister.
who knows, i could use another blu-ray player as well so i might get one for myself

wxer6087d ago

wow this well sell like mad in EU

great move sony

Grandreaper99996087d ago

Yeah, EA have really shed some of their dead skin in the past year and half. Although RockBand is a tad bit bloated now and milked to no end, they really have tried to spread out a bit, which I think is great.

KingME6087d ago

When the 250 gig Elite was announced weren't you guys questioning why make a 250 gig sku. But now it's okay...HYPOCRITES!

shingo6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

in your face kotick-activision muwahahaha

this bundle will sell huge in europe.

masterg6087d ago

Man I would love a 250gb Uncharted 2 Bundle.
I sold my fayboy a little over a month ago. Still havent picked up a slim. Just waiting for the right deal.

gamesmaster6087d ago

no one has mentioned the HDD yet.. we're talking about it being bundled with a game very popular in the eu territories. do you even read the comments?

rhood0226087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

No. King doesn't read the comments.

Quick to pull that "hypocrite" trigger, huh King?

---
On topic, this is a top notch bundle. I would definitely pick this up if I was living in the region.

PirateThom6087d ago

Not to mention, the cost of this bundle is the same as the cost of the normal Slim + the game anyway, so the extra HDD is nothing more than a bonus.

3XP6087d ago

@Gamesmaster - Okay first off, prior to your comment to Kingme, you hadn't said anything on this subject. Yet you said "we're talking about it being bundled with a game very popular in the eu territories." Who exact are we, being that hadn't said anything. There's one Hypo that Kingme had pegged.

Additionally, if the machine was not including the 250 HDD, you all would be all goo goo gaa gaa over it. (Perhaps you would, you're all kinda fanatical about these things.)

@Pirate...Say what you want but Sony's not giving away a 250 gig Slim with free game for the same price as a 120 Gig slim without a game. Dream on Dude.

And for the record Kingme is right, you guys were whining when the 250 gig 360 with Forza was mentioned.

Bathyj6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

Kingme

Thats cause Sony dont charge a dollar a Gig when they make bigger SKU's. Its just a nice bonus.

And who exactly are "you guys". You're throwing a blanket over every PS3 loving gamer here in the same sentence you're trying to decry it. I never said anything about the Forza bundle. Its of no interest to me.

Seems hypocrasy know no bounds.

3XP6087d ago

Good Point. I was a bit careless with the "you guys" comment. I stand corrected. You are 100% correct.

Bathyj6087d ago

And I'm flabberghasted (there's a word that doesn't get much play anymore) that someone here admits when he's made a mistake, so I give you credit there.

gamesmaster6087d ago

believe it or not 3XP i do talk bout these things outside of the n4g comments section, when i say we, i mean the collective of people buzzing about this bundle here, there, anywhere. so just about nothing has been pegged here but the hypo in yourself which bathy kindly exposed.

thankyou for stereotyping me into collective of idiot fanboys based on 1 comment though, your 3 bubbles make sense now.

PirateThom6087d ago

@3XP

The 120GB PS3 Slim is €299 Euros, FIFA is €50-60.

Add them together? €349-359?

Thus, it's the same cost as the PS3 Slim + the game, with the HDD space as a bonus... which is, funny enough, WHAT I SAID.

to the consumer which is a great selling point that the competitors lack

locos856087d ago

I wonder why it takes them longer to release it in NA than they do in UK? We do both speak English. I love the FIFA series. Except FIFA 06 and 07 I played PES those years.

PopEmUp6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

Europe is it known for the home of football

where America is an unknown quantity comparing to the European football popularity, i.e. American doesn't give a damn about football which they called soccer lol but that why fifa/pes both sell better in Europe than American, is like the RPG of Europe

Grandreaper99996087d ago

Looks like they'll be back on top in Europe...

They've been holding it down in Europe for many years now. They know what Europe likes. A FIFA bundle (although nothing amazing in NA) is much like a Halo3 bundle, if not more significant, in Europe.

I also hear they really reallllly like Singstar over there too. Have they released a Singstar bundle yet I wonder?

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle12d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7720d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga20d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199220d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga19d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman19d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger19d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box20d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion19d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7220d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7520d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit20d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14920d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7720d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
