REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it

E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Get PlayStation Vita A Week Early With First Edition Bundle

Posted on Thursday, October 27 @ 10:10:39 Eastern by


As of this morning, I had three PlayStation Vitas on pre-order at various places. I did this to make sure I avoid any issue with short supply and ensure I get mine as early as possible. But Sony has announced a new First Edition PlayStation Vita Bundle that lets you get the new handheld a week before everyone else.

Now I have... still three pre-orders, but at least I know one of them guarantees me early access than everyone else.

The PlayStation Vita First Edition Bundle includes a 3G PlayStation Vita, a 4GB memory card (we've got a post on why this is so important coming later today), a limited edition case, and a copy of Little Deviants, which is a great game to show of the Vita's front and rear touch functionality.

The First Edition bundle will be available starting on February 15th, 2012—a week before the PlayStation Vita's official release date for un-bundled versions.

What do you think of this marketing strategy? I don't recall anything like this before.

    I don't recall this strategy with hardware before but I know mmo's tend to do this sort of thing. The early access thing is used to ease people onto their servers though so they don't have quite as many people crowding into the starting areas on launch day.

    Interesting. I love the idea of a case as part of the bundle, as well as the 4GB memory card (Value?). I don't remember ever seeing a early release bundle before, usually they come later to boost sales.

    That's.....my birthday.

    No one will get it for me though. Time to start saving up.
