GTA IV PlayStation 3 bundle comingDVDBack23 @ Apr 11, 2008 00:43 | 7 comments
It was still unclear however who would be distributing the product in the UK. Gem, which has the exclusive distribution contract with publisher Take-Two, and Centresoft, the company that handles distribution for Sony seem the two likely candidates.
"We know for a fact it is coming out in Europe and we are expecting an announcement in the UK any time," confirmed Igor Cipolletta, COO of Shopto.com.
"We are not sure if Gem or Centresoft are distributing it yet, that seems to be the hold up," he added.
The bundle will have a MSRP of GBP 299 and will be on retail shelves the same day as the launch of the game.

GTA's name is so popular and has so much pull that if you can get the ps3 and GTA4 together some people that may be undecided on a console may choose the ps3 just b/c of the bundle. Microsoft had better follow suit if sony pulls this off. Also Microsoft will probably pull well ahead of the Wii in sales with the release of GTA since Wii isnot going to have a release for the Wii. |
