I think this bundle is a smart move for Sony. It will push units for sure. And may also lead to making people believe that GTA is exclusive for PS3, as not everyone keeps up to the minute with 'video game' news.

I agree. Whether this is true or not, I still think Sony will come out on top with GTA IV. Everyone I've talked to didn't even know GTA IV was coming out on the other system. They've always thought GTA was just a Playstation game.

Nice. If this came to the US, i know plenty of people that would buy it. It'd also give the PS3 an edge in the 360 downloadable content side. I may not care about it seeing as it'll prob. be crap and/or released on PS3, but other peopel sure do.

I wonder if the system will be GTA color themed like the Xbox 360's that have been handed out to various magazines and stars?

I call fake. I can't imagine Sony putting out a bundle that has the GTA IV cover art larger than both the image of the PS3 or the PS3 logo. It seems more likely this is someone's idea of a good idea.

I suspect this is fake. I mead the MGS4 pack is already announced and it is 2-3 months or so away. GTR IV is dues to be released in a few weeks and this is the first we're hearing of it? Seems fishy. Hope it is true though.
Regardless, I was holding out for the MGS4 pack since it is a 80GB with the DS3. I'd prefer GTA IV over MGS4, but I'd also prefer the 80GB over the 40GB. Either way I'm sure I'll end up with both games.

It would have been stupid for Sony to annonce this pack any earlier as it would have caused a slow down on the prologue pack. If Sony announce this pack to early it will effect sales of the console now and they don't want that, they are business and need to sell. About now is the time to announce it as it will lead to a surge in sales when GTA4 is released.

The MGS4 pack is for the US, this is for Europe.

This would be a great move if this bundle became available in North America. It would surely move a lot of consoles since the vast majority of gaming consumers have not even bought a next gen console. GTA IV is going to sell. And if history is any indicator this game could sell 10 to 15 million copies. The only question would be if a large amount of that group gets it for the PS3 over the 360.

Yeah, this looks to good to be true. But if it is true, go Sony!
P.S. If the bundle is legit, it would of been better if they included a DS3 instead of the a six-axis. That would be a deal!!!

As far as aesthetics goes, Sony's products and their packaging are just gorgeous.
For now this one goes as a maybe.

Actually it's not a fake. I live in Sweden and I checked out the store mentioned in the article (Webhallen, which is probably the biggest online games store here) and they have this bundle listed for preorder with the release date set at 29th of April.
Here's a link to confirm:

Oh and sorry for the double post, but just to be clear I stated the fact that their the biggest store to make the point that they have never (to my knowledge) listed a product that wasn't coming.
