Microsoft celebrates Year of the Boar with boring bundles

"the other, Dear or Alive 4 and Dead or Alive Xtreme 2."

You mean DEAD or Alive. :)

$45 is a steal for two games. I doubt I could walk into a shop within a thousand kilometres and get PGR3 and RR6 for less than €60/£40/$80 pre-owned!

Of course fanboys are going to say this is a steal. Why would MS do this when there are lots of good games out now? Why would they release a boring bundle...?

The Ox > The Boar

Anyways, those are some okay packs. I'm not into DoA Xtreme, but DoA's alright.

MS needs more J-games, methinks.

How about because it makes good business sense. You discount games that are selling soft because they are over a year old. The 360 install base was much smaller 6 moths ago and a lot of people didn't pick up these titles. Now that the 2nd holiday season is over the 360 install base has grown considerably and a lot of the new owners never gave a second glance to these 4 titles because they were buying Gears of War and hot titles. But when they see a very reasonable price for decent games they haven't played they'll scoop them up. Smart on Microsofts part.

They should be paying you to play ridge racer 6, that game is awful.

DoA4 is garbage. I have it and I wish I could set in on fire, shit on it, freeze it, then reignite it again.

Actually, Matthew Walsh, do an Ebay search, you might be suprised. I would sell me copy of RR6 if I expected more than $15-$20 total out of the deal. Similar situation on PGR3.

Tristan: I think he might have been sarcastic with that. Or maybe I'm out of my mind again. But I absolutely agree with you.

Yeah, PGR3 and RR6 for $45 is a steal.
