That means, for the same £39.99 ($64) that every other game this holiday costs, Brits can snag two totally bizarro Platinum Games classics. That is, of course, if they can stop playing Just Dance for a few moments.

Is it just me or are they sliding in the same "YSHA!" position?

Wow. What a great deal. I wish I could take advantage of it in the states.

At first I thought "Pretty good deal!" Then I noticed it was the US. Then I remembered:
1) Bayonetta can be gotten for $20, easily.
2) This game will likely become $20 within a few months as well.

If you're planning on getting Vanquish (and you're in the UK), this is a freaking amazing deal. I've never put as much time into a third-person action game as I have with Bayonetta, and I'm still playing it from time to time.

Too bad I got Bayonetta at launch...and that I live in the US...oh wait those are both good things.

One of the best games of the year, reduced to a mere pre-order bonus.... wtf is wrong with the world?

The Vanquish demo was a pleasant surprise. I had heard only the name before but had no clue what to expect. If there is some variety to the level design this game could be a winner.

I am jealous. I've been interested in picking up Bayonetta for a while-- I just never have for some reason. Vanquish demo had some pretty awesome gameplay-- graphics were a little grainy, but the game it self was amazing!

Picked up bayonetta last month for 20 bucks new at Costco. Sure it's fun, but the story is boring. I thought this was supposed to be a gorgeous game, but a lot if the environments had terrible texturing, and everything else was nothing special.
