Considering $399 CAD is roughly $334 USD, that's not a bad deal at all.

It's only a bad deal because it's a 360. Oh snap.


But no. The Elite is $399 alone, so GTAIV included is obviously a deal.

Yeah and Canada uses NTSC right? So buying one wouldn't be a problem at all.

thats roughly $ 299.00 US for an elite 120gb 'black' 360 console and $ 34 for gta4.

yeah the ps3 price will never be able to catch up to the 360 and the 360 should continue to sell more consoles than the ps3.

joystiq writer says"
Sorry if we don't bust out the confetti but this isn't even half as exciting as the Game of the Year edition bundle revealed earlier this month."
umm ... $ 334 US vs. $ 399.00 US..
um since when did fable 2 or halo 3 cost $ 65 to buy??
this bundle serves the community better as it is cheaper.
unless of course joystiq is talking in US funds about a Canadian console.

Both bundles are going to be available in Canada for the same price ($399.99)... in Canadian funny-money.

What does this have to do with the PS3?

Stop trolling Sk8.

I don't understand if you're agreeing with me or being sarcastic.

Both bundles are $399 Canadian. One has 2 games, one has 1 game. What I said in the post that the bundle with 2 games is better than this bundle with 1 game.

johnny-
i was really only combining the fact that the 360 price continues to drop along with the recent forum where sony said they will dominate in 3-5 years..

and that was just a small part of my post on this forum..

why do you say im trolling?
i was actually sick today and this is the first day of work i have missed in some time now, so yes i have posted a few more comments today, but nothing about trolling.
just my opinions..
just like how you gave your opinion about sony being an angel company and MS being an evil company... lol..

the 360 continuing to drop in price and added bundles has to do with the fact that the ex sony exec. was completely wrong in feeling that the ps3 will dominate in 3-5 years.
since a new forum is made every few minutes its easy to combine topics and talk about a group of forums also...

1. The reason you were trolling is because you brought up the PS3 when it has nothing to do with the cost of an Elite 360. Thats the definition of trolling.

2. Sony didn't say anything about dominating in 3-5 years. Ex SCEE head David Reeves said that he feels Sony will be "dominating" in 3-5 years. Thats completely different than SONY having a press conference to announce such a thing. I'm not sure if you always intentionally misrepresent what myself and others say but that brings me to my final point.

3. You need to understand the difference between making deductions on your own and comprehending what someone else is actually saying.

"just like how you gave your opinion about sony being an angel company and MS being an evil company... lol.. "

wow, just wow. I guess by your own logic I also said Nintendo, Samsung, Costco, Olen Mills and Home Depot are "an angel company" because I mentioned MS and not them. Get a grip, dude.

Microsoft has recently said (I think it was "Larry" AKA Major Nelson) that in the future elites would only be available in these sort of special edition bundles. It seems the Arcade & Pro SKUs have canabalized sales of the more profitable "elite" SKU. So, expect more elite bundles like the Resident Evil 5 one we saw not that long ago.

always salute your major and say sir,yes,sir..

elite bundles sound good.
by the time you get a 120gb drive + the games you spent more than $ 400 so it only makes sense to buy an elite bundle now.
if you bought an arcade you would add hd cable, headset, and etc...

makes good business sense to always have a good lineup of games bundled with your most expensive console offering.
it allows ms to offer the cheapest HD gaming console, a mid-range offering, and a premium package with games.

the elite bundles have been tempting me. but since i have no source of income, i can't afford the 2 game bundle and live. :/

my ps3 will serve me well until i can save up some kaching for the elite.

I don't see what the problem is. It's still a good deal. Not everyone cares for Fable II and Halo 3 that are included in the other bundle. Those that do, can buy that bundle, those who want GTA can buy this bundle. And it has stickers!

It's not a bad deal, it's just not as good, and certainly not as good as it could have been if it were packed in with Lost and Damned as well. Also, GTA4 can be found for much cheaper than Halo 3 and Fable 2 at the moment.

Just thought I'd pop in to say that I was at Futureshop the a couple of days ago and they actually had these on the shelves. So if you are in Canada and are looking for one, try just going to the store.
