I hate the person who came up with in-game pre-order incentives. I really hate Square Enix even more for having three freaking stages of them.

Fing Gameflop has the best so far.

I practically guarantee "the person" is Gamestop.

I don't know, the book from Best Buy sounds kinda interesting.

This game is badass. There are so many parodies of games and movies. I bet there were about 2 dozen in the first 10 minutes.

The first NPD without last year's CoD title.

Rockstar Games confirmed the collection launches in North America on November 6, 2012 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for $59.99. Below is a description for each game and what's included.

Red Dead Redemption – Winner of over 170 Game of the Year awards, Red Dead Redemption brings the dying West to life with a vibrant open-world, powerful story, and intense single- and multiplayer action.

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City – The explosive conclusion to the highest-rated game of all time*, Grand Theft Auto IV, featuring two complete games on one disc: The Lost and Damned & The Ballad of *** Tony.

L.A. Noire – The revolutionary crime thriller featuring MotionScan, a breakthrough technology that captures every nuance of a real actor’s facial performance, providing a level of realism, detail and emotion never before seen in a video game. Featuring brand new gameplay and a dark, hard-boiled detective story, L.A. Noire became the first ever video game to be recognized by the Tribeca Film Festival.

Midnight Club: Los Angeles Complete Edition – One of the highest-reviewed racing titles of this generation, featuring deeply customizable real world cars, non-stop open world street racing and intense multiplayer action. The Complete Edition also includes every downloadable real world vehicle and city section released since launch.

Has there ever been a better value for a $60 game?

[JeffHCross]

^^^^^^ Damn. Not my type of collection, but very nice for $60!

I think we've seen this before, but I came across it again tonight, I love it.

[bdoughty]

Because for console gamers it was new stuff.

Those games from Rockstar have GOTY versions that have been out over a year or more. Plus it includes that turd LA Noire which actually decreases the value of the package. Also no mention if RDR is including DLC.

How many discs would the 360 version be? LA Noire was 3, GTA + Liberty cities is 2, have no idea about Midnight club but at least one, same for RDR unless it does have the DLC the probably 2 like the GOTY version. I am assuming the 360 version comes with the suitcase you would needs to carry all those discs home?

Might get this on 360 to replay them. Except I haven't played Midnight Club: Los Angeles though.

[SmoothPancakes]

Already own everything except Midnight Club. Never played it, never really interested me much.

[JeffHCross]

Except for the fact that the ports were absolute crap. At least on PS3, if I recall correctly.

[bdoughty]

360 version was fine when I played it.

That's why I went with FIFA Soccer for Vita instead of 13. Kind of ridiculous.

Kind of ridiculous.

Weren't there similar accusations about another EA Sports title lately? One of the Madden 13 ports, I believe.

[JeffHCross]

An Assassin's Creed III commercial, with cut-scene footage of the American Revolution, played to the soundtrack of "I'm Coming Home"? What the fuck did I just see?
