PS3 Fanboy

Duncan Cross, head of games for British Supermarket Asda, has told MCV that Grand Theft Auto IV has "generated great interest on the Asda website, with strong pre-orders, and the PS3 version is selling three times that of 360, which is surprising." It surprises us too, but in a good way. Like when you look in your wallet expecting to find it empty and see a crisp tenner. That sort of surprise.

Comet's game representative also told MCV that they "have great expectations and believe [GTA IV] is going to be a massive hardware driver – especially on PS3." We hope they're right. As soon as we hear any interesting sales figures after the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV we'll be sure to let you know. In the meantime, you can rest assured that the game is selling amazingly with regards to pre-orders and most stores are already out of their initial allocations of stock.

Do you live in the UK? Are you thinking of picking up a PS3 in the next seven days? If you answered "yes" to both of those questions then we're here to tell you to wait. Next Friday a new "Pick N Mix" bundle will be available from most retailers which will allow you to grab a PS3 along with two games for only £350.

We know what you're thinking. "Yeah, but the games probably won't be any good." Not so! Games that can be bundled with your new black monster include Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted, Singstar, Motorstorm, Resistance, Folklore and Warhawk. Or, if you're feeling masochistic, you can even go with LAIR and Genji 2. Sound good? We think so too. This bundle will be available from Friday the 18th of January and will continue "until further notice".
