GameStop Offers Resistance 3 With 3DTV Package

John-Shepard 14 Comments

If you were disappointed to see Sony replace Resistance 3 with MotorStorm: Apocalypse in that sweet 3DTV bundle , you'll appreciate this gesture by GameStop.

When it was first announced, the package in question boasted a 24" 3D HDTV, a set of 3D glasses, and a copy of Insomniac's latest shooter. Then Sony made the switch and everyone went, "hey…that's not quite as attractive." But a reader sent us over to GameStop's listing :

As you can see, the retailer will toss in a copy of Resistance 3 alongside MotorStorm: Apocalypse provided you pre-order the bundle. It'll arrive in November if you're interested. Now, it could just be that GameStop doesn't want to piss off everyone who had already pre-ordered the package, before Sony dropped R3. But even if that's the case, so what? At least we still get two great games with an excellent TV for only $499.99. That ain't bad, right?

An Apocalypse Replaces Resistance 3 In 3DTV Bundle

Ben-Dutka 26 Comments

Of course, the first question everyone is going to have is, " why ?"

And unfortunately, we don't have the answer. Initially, it was revealed that Sony would launch a sweet 3DTV bundle, which would include a 24" 3D HDTV, a set of 3D glasses, and a copy of Insomniac's upcoming shooter, Resistance 3 . But then, that bundle sorta changed out of the blue; Amazon now lists it with MotorStorm: Apocalypse rather than the third Resistance installment. What's going on?

We don't know why Sony changed the attractive bundle, but a reader tells us R3 developer Insomniac Games has confirmed the change at their Twitter page :

"For those asking about the 3DTV bundle:http://t.co/y0o9u4F — Motorstorm: Apocolypse replaced Resistance 3. Sorry for any inconvenience."

They went on to say that no 3DTV bundle will feature Resistance 3 and that "Sony makes the decision on that front." So of course, all this begs the question above: "why the switch?" Wouldn't it make more sense for a newer – and bigger – title to be included in such a bundle? It's set for release this fall and Apocalypse has been out for a while, so…

Any ideas?
