Japan's Devil May Cry 4 PS3 bundle

Why not? MS has been bundling like a mother over in Japan too.

I guess you're right

There was. Dell had it (in Canada) a few weeks ago with Spiderman 3.

That'd be frickin' sweet. :d


Though I can't tell from the image -- those are DualShock3 SIXAXIS controllers, I hope?

Ok Sheppy, the dual profiles are getting old :P

Anyway... This looks pretty cool. I'm a sucker for the white (yes I have an iPod lol).

A friend at work just bought her kids a PS3 for Christmas (she had already bought it otherwise I would have suggested a 360 like most normal people). She bought them the 80GB w/Motorstorm and then got Ratchet and Heavenly Sword, and an extra controller.

Where I'm going with this is, they had recently gotten a second PS2, the slim one, and now she is going to sell it to me for $40. (My 3rd PS2 ugh)

So Sheppy (and others),
What are some good PS2 games? I'm not a huge RPG fan though...

Don't forget Microsoft's Marvel Ultimate Alliance\Forza 2 bundle.

Sheppy? Who is this sheppy fellow? He sounds like a very confused individual! This is Fidlious Wong. The fastest damn chinese fiddle player in the world!

Or should I mention I got this name because, once upon a time, I saw a chinese dubbed, english subbed version of Darbie O'Gill and the Little People? I swear, if anything is funnier on this or any planet, I want to know of it.

Damn, forgot to ask. Raikage, what games are you normally into. Rather than just listing tons of games off, I'd like a basis to run from. I mean, I have 140+ PS2 games and constantly buying more. So I'm certain if I haven't played it, I've at least heard of it.

Well, My favorite genre is stealth(I know strange choice) I love Racing, Action, 2D fighters, shooters, Games like Shadow of The Colossus/Ico. I do like some RPGs, mostly action oriented though.

But I'm mostly looking for exclusives I missed after PS2 #1 broke (March 2001).

Hmmm, interesting. Most of what I'm about to say should be easily acquired via bargain bins.

In stealth, I'd say give Rogue Ops a try. I hear good things (and it's on my rack... I swear I'll play it some day). Also, I'd suggest giving Red Ninja a shot. Mainly, despite the popular bashes, if you can get a headset for PS2, give Manhunt a definate shot. Game gives excessively tense moments and the headset makes for one hell of an experience.

Action flare, I'd go into the Onimusha series which has been phenominal, even when at it's lowest point (2). I'll forgive 2 though, it's hard to make a good game without Takashi Kaneshiro. Also in the action genre, give the 3D Castlevanias a shot. I liked em. DMC is a good goto series but the game gets abusively hard. As do both of the Shinobi games (Shinobi and Nightshade). And naturally, you HAVE to play God of War.

Action RPG fair, I'd say give Kingdom Hearts series a shot. Also good mentions in here the Dark Cloud series, Rogue Galaxy, Tales of _______, and Shaolin Monks.

As for 2D fighters... well, can't help you much there. I'd say look into what SNK Playmore has been releasing in the states recently. Also snag a few Guilty Gear XX games and dare I even say it, give KOF:MI or 2006 a shot. They stay fairly true to their 2D roots but they mix 2D gameplay with the 3D varied combo systems.

I'd say that's a hell of a start right there.

Sounds good, alot of my friends have many of those games so I'll try before I buy (maybe beat before I buy...)

But, thanks a bunch for the suggestions!

Congratulations Fernando Rocker!!!

You just earned yourself The Most Stupid Comment of 2007!

I know. DS can't sell shit in Japan without all their special editions and game bundles either...

Oh.. wait...

I have faith that dumber comments will be forthcoming.

I'll do my best =)

Isn't the Wii a bundle? At least outside Japan?

the only reason why the Wii and DS sell in Japan is because everyone in Japan Mods their wii or buys the R4 for the DS.


Free games. oh snap!

LOL @ Fidlious Wong.

soo true.

@joeyg-The Japanese software sales chart says otherwise.

Where'd my face go?

Why would anyone need that fast of a modem?

Well, good news and bad news.

Good News: PS3 is region free and the BluRay region between Japan and the US is the same. So a Japanese unit can play domestic blurays and it's very easy to set your system to English.

Bad News: PS2 and PS1 games still remain region locked due to the request of publishers.

Good News: Since only the 20GB comes in white anyway, that won't be an issue. Why worry about the region locking in something you can't play?

Conclusion: If you want a white PS3 and don't care about BC...

Just import it. $30 more for the white finish.

DMC3 was actually a little more friendly than DMC1. It's still just as challenging, but it's just less hard (in the frustrating sense). The Special Edition balanced the difficulty a little more and gives you Virgil as a playable character. You're missing out on something by skipping it.

DMC2 sucked so hard there's not an appropriate joke comparison to go with it. Its just bad.

Phranctoast,

You are missing on an AMAZING title, yes, the game was hard, but when has there been an easy DMC? that's where this game truly shines...

Also, yes, there were talks about the ridiculous difficulty of DMC3, but believe me, it was all cheap talk, the game isn't that hard...but then again, the "Dante's awakening" (I think it was called that, right?) version has this mode which is 3 times harder than the hardest mode of the normal version...I think is "Dante must die" mode...

And like Trev above mentioned, Virgil as a playable char is also a big bonus on that other version of DMC3

One of the only games that still keeps the challenge...sigh

Talking about console colors and the Ps3 l33t didn't Nintendo promise us Wiis in other colors than white? Hell I was hoping to get a Red Wii this year.

They're having enough trouble meeting demand in ONE color. New colors won't be forthcoming.

I think you're getting the S.E. version of DMC4, which is $69

...with a baseball bat.

OH SNAP!

They say that you're full of shit, thats what they say.

full of shit about what?

Software sales and piracy, then again, those charts say that Japan has 21 Million DS's around and one of the best selling titles (The new super mario bros) managed to sell 5 million over its lifespan which means there's 16 Million potential pirates out there.

In short Crono's argument against piracy is as baseless as your for piracy.
