GTA IV PlayStation 3 Bundle Available to German Fans!

Published at 7:37 AM PST

German website Webhallen is advertising a Sony PlayStation 3 Bundle containing Grand Theft Auto IV, and of course, the PlayStation 3 with all it's accessories. It's worth it just for the spectacular box in my opinion!

So far this is the first we have seen of this bundle, so it would appear only for German fans at the moment. Most likely other versions will come to light shortly, well, we hope anyway.

For those who are unfamiliar with these "bundles". It's a Sony marketing move, something that they have been doing since the PlayStation 2 (possibly earlier). Basically it means you buy a box with a game plastered on the front for a little bit extra then the normal box, and in-turn you get a game with it for that little bit extra. Usually quiet a significant saving also, for example my PlayStation 3 included Grand Turismo 5 Prologue for only 10 dollars more than just buying the console pack by itself. Past bundles has been the Grand Turismo one I mentioned, and the current one, Metal Gear Solid 5.

Needless to say, I would have rathered this to the Grand Turismo 5 bundle I purchased...

Interested? Read about it at Webhallen...if you can read the fluent Dutch that is. We would offer a translation, but we are yet to find one that actually works. Watch this space just in-case we manage to get one!
