Sony Gives Europe More Bang for Their Buck

According to a Belgian retailer, Sony Computer Entertainment is set to release a PlayStation 3 / Motorstorm bundle package. Although no formal announcement has been made, Smart-Toys is now taking pre-orders on the upcoming European only bundle that is priced at â‚¬619.99 ($834 USD - just up from the console sans-game for ‚¬599.99).

The rumour is fueled by Sony's recently announced PlayStation 3 / Hot Shots Golf bundle, which is available exclusively in Japan.

It makes sense considering Motorstorm has been a popular title overseas, where other than football - racing is a favorite genre. The bundle scenario is the most likely reaction to public outcry for a price drop of the PlayStation 3.

The original Xbox would regularly bundle first-party or exclusive third-party titles with their system to add to the overall value. Considering the PlayStation 3 has been available since March in the majority of Europe, Motorstorm has probably hit the climax of it's overall sales figures - making it the perfect bundled game.

Smart move if it's in the works. What about North America you ask?

We're calling it now, PlayStation 3 bundled with Gengi: Game of the Year Edition - now with 20% more real-time weapon switching!
