Why I'm waiting to pre-order Fallout 4

Hey Guys, it's been some time since I posted anything. I'm kind of working on The Phantom Pain Review and Awful Craigslist Sellers #7. Additionally, nothing major has been going on the gaming industry except for the whole Konami stopping all their console based games besides PES.

It's something I don't feel like talking about because I really didn't play a whole lot of Konami games other than Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, and Contra. However, I will say that Konami is pretty much digging their own grave. Anyways, back on topic.

As you may know, I'm really looking forward to Fallout 4. As a matter of fact, who isn't besides hipsters, people who don't care, or people who don't like Fallout. Ironically, I didn't pre-order Fallout 4 despite how excited I am for it. Why?

The only place I really pre-order my games is GameStop. I know it's an awful place to shop at, but it's literally the closest place I can buy video games without having to wait. I will only buy video games on Amazon if it's cheaper to get than at a store.

But Eddie, why don't you just download your games through the Xbox Store? I don't like digital games. The only times I will download games is if they are free or they are digital only. Additionally, digital games take up a lot more space on your hard drive then you think. Either way, I prefer that I have a game that I can hold in my hand.

Anyways, GameStop is the only place I can pre-order games at. Most of the time, I will only pre-order if I'm getting an incentive for pre-ordering. However, I guess this is the best they can do,

I'm pretty sure this isn't Bethesda making this decision. Are they? However, it doesn't change the fact that GameStop is usually cheap when it comes to pre-order bonuses, but they do have some pretty good pre-order bonuses once in a while.

This is a sweepstakes. My chances of winning this are equivalent to my chances of getting mauled by a lion that escaped from the zoo.
Till Next Time!!

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Xbox One Bundle - Is it really worth a buy?

Hey Guys, there was just a number of bundles announced at Comic-Con yesterday. This is one in particular does catch my attention because I do consider myself to be a Gears of War fan. However, is it really worth a buy?

Image provided by Digital Trends. 

Now, my first impression of this bundle is the appearance. If I was a customer shopping for a gift and have no idea about video games, I would probably look for something that looks a lot 'colorful'. What I mean by colorful is something that has a cool design. Sure it may look cool to have a Gears of War banner below the box, but it's not doing enough to say "buy me".

Anyways, this bundle will contain,

• A digital download code for Gears of War: Ultimate Edition
• 1 Xbox One Wireless Controller
• An Xbox One 500GB system
• Early access to the Gears of War 4 beta
• Superstar Cole multiplayer skin
• 14-day Xbox Live Gold Trial

If you're a massive Gears of War fan, there is no reason for you not to buy this bundle. The early access to the Gears of War 4 beta has to be the highlight item in this bundle. I'm more than positive that would make any Gears of War fan happy. This is also a steal if you have never played Gears of War and are looking to buy an Xbox One.

Now, is it worth a buy for casual gamers who are trying to buy an Xbox One? Let me mention that this bundle is $349. The game itself is great! However, I don't think this was a smart idea for a number of reasons. First, why would they sell a 500GB Xbox One console? You can buy a 1TB Xbox One Console that is bundled with Halo: The Master Chief Collection. for just $400. Second, why would they only add one game? I totally get that this is a Gears of War bundle, but maybe Microsoft could have added a first party game with it just to even it out. Why do I make this point? Because for $349, you can get a 500GB Xbox One console that is bundled with Assassin's Creed IV and Assassin's Cree: Unity. Sure it may be 500GB, but people would buy it because it comes with two games. Halo: The Master Chief Collection comes with 4 and soon to be 5 games!

I totally understand that you can upgrade the hard drive at a later time, but do you know how much more money you are spending? Trust me, you're going to spend a lot more money than you originally thought you would.

It's difficult to recommend this product because of its $349 price tag and the lack of actual content when you can get more games for the same price. Additionally, you can buy a 1TB Xbox One bundle for just $50 more! Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is a great game coming from the time I spent on the beta, but I don't think this bundle is for people who are looking to get their first Xbox One console and want to get a bang for their buck. The bundle will be released the same time the game releases which is August 25th and is available for pre-order.

Till Next Time!!
