They’re all having a go! Making hay while the PS3 sun doesn’tshine, that is.
First of all rumours are rumbling around the industry that Nintendo Europe’s Wii launch decisions were informed specifically by the PS3’s non-appearance – ie they can now afford to push it back a week and make it more expensive in order to drop the price come PS3 launch day (these are just rumours, remember). And now select retailers will soon be stocking what amounts to a top value 360 value pack. This ‘Premium Console Bundle’ hits stores this very Friday and includes all of the following:
• A 360 console, complete with headset communicator and 20GB hard drive.
• A copy of Project Gotham Racing 3.
• Not one, but two wireless controllers.
• A Component HD AV cable with SCART adaptor
And all of that comes in for a penny under £300, which is stonking value which ever way you choose to look at it. In fact for a gamer with – ooh – around £300 burning a hole in his pocket and otherwise bereft of next-gen console-related entertainment this Xmas, we’d say it’s the very thing.
