Ironic thing was he had a bad disc, he needed to mail it back to Capcom and waited weeks getting back a good one. He was scared he got a bad system, but my RE game played fine on his system.This is a pretty good bundle and I wouldn't mind playing these games, but they're not on my must-play list.@CleruTesh: I didn't finish Till the End of Time and thought twice about getting SO4, but I just got it two weeks ago and haven't stopped playing since (and I haven't touched RPGs in a while). Many fans were put off by the cosmetic interface change they made for the US version, but after playing both versions, surprisingly I must say I prefer the change. The CG portraits are much more consistent than the anime ones, which seem too cartoonish, plus the menu looks much cleaner. I like the Eng dub a lot too. @pressstart: I saw the Red RE bundle at my friend’s, it doesn’t look as bad as I thought, but it sure stands out like a sore thumb against the black, wht, & silver consoles/TV set up.

I've only played the first Halo & Fable, and while neither one was terrible, they didn't really do much for me.

Although, some people follow Halo for the story. Maybe this will convert some people to RPGs or vice versa :P This is an interesting point since the genres are conflicting.

I mean, almost everyone I know who has a 360 has played both games. (a lot of them either rent or buy and resell) They're right about it being targeted at core gamers that haven't got a 360 yet.

Still tempted to jump on the RE5 bundle, but the red paint job is nasty and this bundle looks to be more value added, even though I would prefer RE5 and HDR over Halo 3. Nice package. 2 full priced games and the regular Elite color for the price of an Elite.
