SDF Exclusive: SCEE Bundles 40GB PS3 with GTAIV Exclusively in Europe
It begins.
Whilst they no doubt spent many months negotiating for exclusive DLC which ultimately the 40M+ casual gamers that bought GTA last gen will care nothing for, SCEI cleverly opted for an exclusive bundle in all regions.
Today SDF is proud to exclusively reveal the European PS3 + GTAIV bundle box that will be hitting retail and etail stores all across Europe at the end of this month.
It would seem the current head honchos at Microsoft are beginning to make Peter Moore et alia look somewhat competent.
A feat that deserves no small praise.
Bravo.
@Tj Hooker
did you even look into the deal? It appears that you buy this so called “bundle” with two seperate packages (40gig PS3 and a retail copy of GTA4).
What I fail to see is that your getting just a 40gig PS3 and a copy of GTA4 for probably roughly the same price as buying it seperately. If anything the MGS4 bundle is a better deal.

This isn’t a deal unless there’s a price drop as well.
sorry about all the posts was “awaiting moderation”
Enlighten me to the genius thing here? u get a 40gb ps3 and a copy of gta4 for no price drop?
@Sweet
but you save 5 to 10 dollars.
I love how I read this earlier today on a credible news site and then you retards make the claim: “SDF Exclusive”
Nice job Jello,in an effort to get the first post you wound up with the first 4(including 3 in 1 minute)…impressive. Well now that we have a long awaited new article,I for one feel it’s a bit of an anti-climax,tho it sure is a nice looking box. I think we should get right back to what’s hot and what’s not. For instance,the Ps3′s hot,the Wii and 360 are not,actually the 360′s hot but not in a good sense.
@Paul
Nice to see your commenting again and can’t wait to prove that your still an idiot.
I think I can prove that myself thank you very much.
LOL the only thing exclusive to the SDF is their epic level of fail.
Yet another bundle the Sony has to come out with to get anybody to buy their system, i lol at sony.
@sixaxis
You’re just jealous cuz your own level of fail is only mediocre.You shouldn’t feel too bad,failing is failing.(not that I have any experience of it)
By “exclusively reveal”, you mean “copy information about a rumored bundle”.
lololololololololololololollololololololololo, three words then something with Microsoft. really, when will you run out of your dollars to keep this jokesite running?
@sm0ke
hell even if it is a rumored bundle it’s no different than a store offering up bundle deals like the wii or ps3 (you know get a xtra controller, 3 games and 2 of those are crap, and console skin).
Here’s the link where this story originated from
http://www.webhallen.com/prod.php?id=85742
uh, okay, so the ps3 is getting a bundle the same as what the 360 is getting…
so?
No small praise, or no praise at all. They shipped a game with a console. Bravo, Nintendo-wannabes!
Unfortunately for Sony, it’s too little, too late. Should have thought of this back in 06. It’s sad when the best news for Sony (for the last 2 months) depends on GTA. Whenever (IF-ever) it gets released.
Paul,
You’re just mad because I won’t let you suck my cock.
STOP TRYING TO SUCK MY COCK!
epic fail

@sixaxis
It’s impossible to to suck a non-existent thing via the internet. You’re just mad because…well I suppose your parents are mad. If your cock wasn’t quite so non-existent you’d have mad kids too!
Back on topic,it’s not important what the Ps3′s bundled with,the important part is the Ps3 itself.It could be bundled with any old junk,say…a Wii or 360 and it would STILL be worth buying.
it will be awsome! xboxers will have a tuff time playing gta and enjoying playing because all the loud noise that crap box makes!!!beware of red rings!!!!!!
Poor Sony. They are trying so damn hard to remind people that their movie player also has game features.
Ok, uh, wow, a bundled pack. And this helps those of us who already own a PS3…how?
Poor keri,sand in vagina?
@Paul
Not really. But a bundle pack including a system that is far too expensive even when on its own really doesn’t impress me much.
To put it simply:
Exclusive content > Bundle Pack
Stay away from the beach in future keri,we can all do without your sandy vagina!
Reliable console >360
I think at this point it’s kind of pointless to argue cost since you can just get the 40GB model and throw a larger hard drive at it (Which from what I understand doesn’t void the warranty).
Still, this site’s blatant fanboyism always provides a laugh and reminds me that owning a next-gen console is serious business.
Stop thinking about my vagina pervert.
And I know that if I owned a PS3 it would be very reliable. Something thats not turned on can’t break down now can it?
I’ll take my chances with the 360 as its library is far more appealing to me.
How does it go? It is better to have loved and lost than to never love at all.
@keri
I am owning you via my Ps3 right now (you can keep the sandy vagina)
My Ps3 is owning my upscaling dvd player.It’s also showing better games than my ill-fated 360 ever did,and it’s doing all this without the noise.
Paul,
Not sure who Sixaxis is, but stop trying to deny it.
The only reason you’re so hateful towards me is sexual tension. I’ll tell you what Shatner told Takei, I WILL NOT LET YOU SUCK MY COCK!
@sixaxis
I don’t hate you,but I ain’t about to go gay for you either,you don’t even have a Ps3!
@Paul
I found the best way to handle the supposed noise of the 360 is to play with your television on the ON setting. I’m sure you know how to turn your television on right? I mean you have to do that to watch movies in your Sony movie system right?
@keri
At least it doesn’t blow up when you try to turn it on.
@keri
PWNED PS3 WINS
Poor at best keri,that sand has really ruined your day.
As well as the TV being on,the volume had better be very ON.Otherwise the irritating fan noise combined with your irritated fanny could be the death of you.
@ elmenso1
“all the loud noise that crap box makes!!!”
There’s a simple solution to that. Turn up the volume on the TV.
@ Paul
“Reliable console >360″
So by that logic, the PS2 is also shit.
Not really. Generally set at even a low volume level the sound coming from any game will drown out the sound of the 360.
And I see you are still thinking about my vagina. Are you a stalker or something?
@caNcer
Who’s talking about the Ps2? Quit living in the past,or if you can’t,go talk to Jello,he’s a 360 owner who’s favourite console is about 15 years old.
@keri
Stop lying! I used to have a 360,nothing will drown out the noise,you know it,I know it.
@erik
Paul wants vagina and he knows not even sony can provide that for him. I would feel sorry for any woman that he dates because it probably go something like this: “my ps3 is better than you, it plays games that look better than you, and quite frankly it doesn’t make a sound”. I bet he couldn’t even get through dinner without mentioning how awesome the ps3 is before she ditches his ass. Hell I bet she would go lesbo after going out with him.
@erik
The only vagina Paul has even close too is when he was born.
@Paul
Then you must have some kind of circus freak-baby super-hearing or something. I have my 360 about… four inches from my feet right now and I can’t hear it at all.
@OldJello
That’s not entirely true,at times like now for instance,I’m literally surrounded by ‘em.
@keri
Have your legs been amputated? or yor ears?
No, but rather the 360 is very quiet. The humming of the fan can only be heard if you are sitting in an otherwise completely silent room.
There there keri,just give it another rinse and you’ll be back to normal in no time.
Well I’m too drunk and tired to go on,I see my imitator popped in at 2.50. If he’s any good and in a different time zone,this could mean round-the-clock pwnage for all.
@Paul
Yeah my favorite console is 15-17 years old. My favorite movie is Casablanca and that is around 60 years old, and favorite album is Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix and that’s around 40 years old.
I get that the only thing good in your opinion is or has to be the latest thing.
wtf is with the crab?
@ Paul
“Well I’m too drunk and tired to go on”
That’s why you like the PS3 in the first place. You’re hammered.
I like my PS3.
I also like my buddy’s Xbox 360, and my other buddy’s Wii.
Is this such a foreign concept?
@PlayItBogart
No it’s not a foreign concept and it’s good that you can enjoy all three of the consoles and not shit all over the ones you don’t have.
@everyone
I’m sure all of you heard of EA handling of Battlefield: Bad Company and its horrible DLC plan. I encourage us all as gamers and stand up and not let EA getaway with charging gamers for content that should be in the game but making us pay for it. If EA gets away with it then there is a scary chance that Ubisoft, Take 2, or Activision might adopt the same practices.
Here’s a link to sign up for the boycott of BF:BC
http://sarcasticgamer.com/wp/index.php/2008/03/bfbcs-dlc-is-just-plain-bs.html
I support EA. It pisses of internet peoples.
@OldJello
You had me at Jimi Hendrix…then you lost me with Casablanca…then you had me again with the DLC thing. When developers genuinely come up up with ideas to enhance gameplay,aftermarket DLC should be your reward for already purchasing the game. Unfortunately too many DLC schemes are in place right from the start,making the game you buy on release day simply part 1. Micro$haft have promoted this trend with a huge bribe.
@sixaxis
You’re becoming even more obnoxious than I am.
Xbucks 3D0 is dead in Europe. This will be the final blow. Sorry xfans, it was a good run.
Goes to show, Sony will do ANYTHING to get people to buy a PS3. Of all the good games thats been released on the PS3 (well 3 actually, MGS4, GT5 Demo, GTA4) Sony are there like hawks making bundle packs that cost the same as if you were to buy it anyway. Great deal!! LOL
This smells of desperation on Sony’s part again into fooling people that the PS3 is a gaming machine.

So what ur saying then, is you’ll suck his cock if he had a PS3. That means ur a PS3 owning faggot. Thats exactly what u just said.
This still doesnt stop the fact that the 360 is getting proper downloadble content of their ‘episodes’. I’d have 360 version over PS3. though i wouldnt trade my PS3 still

Ooooohhhhh, snap!
Not only is it snap, but you can buy a 360 with the exact GTA4 the PS3 will have, for 100 quid cheaper.
Mhmm, a hundred quid difference is a LOT of money. Free postage and no extra VAT either, ya can’t be disgruntled at that at all.
Rejoice in this release! Be not contemptuous in this time of celebration. Love both the Grand Theft Auto IV Xbox 360 Elite, and the Grand Theft Auto IV PS3. They are brothers, as we, too, should be.
