Different audience will buy ff13 than halo 3 though. They should honestly lower the price of the console / fable or lost odyssey bundle. I doubt the people who want to buy a 2nd controller are honestly avid halo 3, or gears of war gamers. It really raised the price of the console without any real incentive from a buyers perspective. At least from my point of view.Machado said:because people might *might* `play other games with the console?

ShockingAlberto said:Did MS give up on making faceplates?
Because, like, this seems kind of perfect for a faceplate.
No. I am just saying that the inclusion of the controller is purposeless and most consumers that are going to buy this won't care. But that is my opinion and I'll leave it at that.goldenpp72 said:so you're saying people who buy ff13 are friendless losers
Since the majority of multiplatform marketing on tv ends with 'on Xbox 360' and 'console from £.....', I wouldn't bet against it.AlternativeUlster said::lol at two controllers bit and 360 exclusive. I wonder if the commercials are going to make it seem like it was exclusive much like how Modern Warfare 2 made it look like it was a 360 exclusive.

PseudoKirby said:man FF13's boxart is so fucking uninspired and bland
goldenpp72 said:I get that, but as a smart consumer, if I don't own a 360 and i'm interested in one, i'm going to evaluate this as such.
Xbox elite: 300 bucks, 120 gig hdd, one controller.
FF13 bundle: I want ff13, 60 dollars, more HDD space is cool, 130 gigs more, extra controller for use in co op/multiplayer games i'll likely buy with my new console.
So for 100 bucks you get a game, more than double the HDD size, and an extra controller which I think is 40-50 bucks. How i'd look at it? Free double HDD size.
Way cooler than FFX in NA
Pretty much this. I have no need for a second controller at all, or such a huge HD. A nice print on one side with a faceplate, a custom controller, the game and an artbook/soundtrack/or something, would be enough for me to jump in. :lolPonn01 said:I would look at it as being a fan of Final Fantasy and RPG's and have no need for a second controller and would be much more interested in LE bundle with something more substantial like a special print 360 console with at the very least a FF XIII logo, HDMI cord to enjoy the kick ass HD graphics would also be a good start. Hell throw in a copy of Last Remnant, just anything but a second controller which is useless to a RPG gamer which this is targeting.

klee123 said:Pretty disappointing for an LE bundle considering how much better the RE5 bundle was.
goldenpp72 said:no 360s come with HD cables now, you have no friends to game with, that's fine, this isn't for you.
I do agree the LE side seems.. well not there, but I don't think this is a proper reveal either.
Ponn01 said:I'm an RPG gamer, who do the heck do you think this IS supposed to be targeting:lol The people that didn't pick up the MW2 bundle or something? Look, it doesn't need defending, its a lazy bundle with FFXIII thrown in with no thought and people are calling them out on it. I know the 360's don't come with HD cables but the point of bringing it up is if they had actually put some thought into the bundle the people who are wanting FFXIII are more likely to want the HD graphics as well. Therefore at the very least make it semi enticing by taking the extra controller out and throwing in HDMI cables with the audio adapter. That move alone would elevate the bundle at least a bit more above joking status.
goldenpp72 said:I don't think most people are just single genre gamers, perhaps my faith in taste and diversity is just too out there, but I assume most people willing to plunk down 400 bucks buy more than jrpgs, but might in fact indulge in other games too
Ponn01 said:And they waited till FFXIII to get their Xbox 360 multiplayer gaming on because?
Because they figured "I want an Xbox 360" and noticed for $100 more than an Elite they get another 130GB of space, an extra controller, and Final Fantasy XIII? My friend picked up the Forza 3 bundle for the same reason.Ponn01 said:And they waited till FFXIII to get their Xbox 360 multiplayer gaming on because?
You could always sell the game and pick up the PS3 version if you want it. :lol I would have done that if I this bundle was worth anything to me. I'm sure GS/GC would be willing to take it off your hands in a heartbeat.Fyrus said:Instead of getting an Elite to replace my dying 360 I'm going to buy this now. The only thing bothering me about it is that it has FF13 bundled :lol Was gonna get the PS3 version...
Maybe they didn't specifically wait on the release of FFXIII to pick a system up, but instead were swayed by the marketing force accompanying its release? The same thing has occurred with other big titles (Halo, MW, GT, Gears, FFVII, etc.) before. Besides, having a second controller as part of the bundle not only adds to the value of it, but also makes it more appealing as a purchase to a lot of people who need more than one title and a single player one at that to push the buy decision over the edge. Think of families who need a strong single package to justify the cost...the sort who regularly go for Costco and Sam's Club bundles. Single players don't seem to be the target here.Ponn01 said:And they waited till FFXIII to get their Xbox 360 multiplayer gaming on because?

krae_man said:More like it makes no sense to put out both a FF XIII and God of War 3 bundle out a week apart from eachother.
Keep in mind that people that are waiting to buy consoles wait for 2 things:Ponn01 said:And they waited till FFXIII to get their Xbox 360 multiplayer gaming on because?
