      Not a bundle aimed at children then. Nothing wrong with that at all.

      Something I might buy for myself, though.

          you'd think their marketing department might have considered that and given an option for younger players.

          Don't make me laugh, jv.

          At the end of the day, it's all about the $.

          I'm sure there'll be something for them at some stage, but there's little point grousing that one individual deal isn't targeted towards little kids. There have been plenty of Minecraft deals, and I'd be surprised if there wasn't another one from one or more of the major retailers.

          The average age of a gamer these days is MUCH older than, say 14-and-under…

          @Scipio:But then again, if the Parents don't agree with their younger ones playing these sorts of Content; It's up to the Parents to act on it, right?

          @Lil B: In this case it's about 3 new release titles as pack-ins.

        • Scipio on 22/11/2017 - 17:49
          +3

          @Lil B: There are ratings on games, so yeah - parents need to shoulder the responsibility for what they allow their kids to watch/play/etc.

          Last time I was in an EB, a 10-or-so-year old was clutching GTA5 wanting mum to buy it for him. She hadn't seen it yet by the time I left, but I'm sure the sales guy would have pointed it out to her if it got that far.

          My point to JV is that complaining that a single bundle isn't aimed at the littlies isn't a valid reason to complain any more than a FIFA/Forza Bundle that I'm personally not interested in is a valid reason to complain. Black Friday is in less than 48 hours, and I'd suggest that it's very likely that at least one good value, kid-oriented deal will appear by then. Very possibly even direct from MS.

          By not offering other options yes. I'm looking at getting a new console for Xmas but wont be getting this… So that's one sale lost for starters.

          @jv:

          If you think EB Games will loose money on sales, you're wrong.

          If they do (which they won't) they'll either write it off OR put prices up somewhere to compensate for the loss.

          For an example: People who steal items from Woolworths, Coles etc — What you don't realize is at the end of the day they put up prices just a little bit and they make their money back.

      I reckon that Forza Horizon 3 is dying, very fast.

      There is not much players active on Multiplayer compared to earlier this year.

        Wolf is the only shooter of the three. AC is a 3rd person open world platforming action-adventure thing, while TEW is survival horror. Just depends on which genres you like, and of course Friday's bundles.

        • HighAndDry on 22/11/2017 - 18:02

          @0blivion: There's probably some shooting in it (?) but it's classified as survival horror in the tradition of the old RE games. Certainly not what I'd call a Wolf/CoD/BF/Doom/etc-style "shooter" though.

        There's also Target's $269 deal that comes with the Minecraft games and 3 months of Gold instead. Harvey Norman has $279 with Minecraft/AC and BF2. How am I meant to decide between all these.

        What makes you say that?

      Xbox One X supports native 4K games and the Xbox One S upscales games to 4K.

      On the 4K BluRay front, I'm pretty sure they are identical but may be wrong.

      But the One X is definitely better for 4K gaming.

        Well, I don't have a native 4k projector, just the Epson 9300 which upscale to 4k. Guess Xbox one S is enough for me would you say in term of 4k player functionality?

        The xbox one s does not play games at 4K AT ALL!

        Review of the One S:
        http://www.techradar.com/reviews/gaming/games-consoles/xbox-…

        "games look better in 4K resolution – even if it's achieved by upconversion"
        "The biggest upgrade is a graphical one – 4K resolution"

        Can someone explain to me why I got negged for future reference?
        Where did I mess up?

          @WishIHadAfridge: Cheers. Still would like to know what I did wrong though.

          @scanzy:
          Its the internet. There doesnt have to be a reason.
          It happens and can be a little confusing but you just ignore it if they dont want to challenge the point your making.
