View Full Version : I heard America is getting new triple packs
Including left for dead, which is on my list.
Anyone know if/when they come to Europe or whether any other packs are planned?

Europe very rarely gets these things...though I couldn't say whether or not we'd get this one.
Bundles and packs don't seem to get released much over here.
I dunno, we might get it.
We got the Oblivion/Bioshock double pack.
Including left for dead, which is on my list.
-cough- Dead Rising... ahem...
Since I own all 3 already, I don't really care that much for the collection, unless DMC4 boasts the modes of the PC version or if it has any other lovely content.
But it's ill-timed considering they are fairly old games and the majority will have at least one of them.
If you buy that triple pack Usa, it will work on a 360 Pal?
I don't have none of them T.T

The 360 isn't region-free so no, the pack wouldn't work on your console.
You could potentially find all three titles for a combined price lower than that of the pack if you look hard enough. Bargain hunting, chief.
As for Devil May Cry 4 having any additional features, it won't. These are just re-releases rather than remastered copies.

It is region free so to speak it just Microsoft leave it to the publishers/developers if they want region code on their games.
Less and les game are now region protected on the 360.
Even the original xbox had the choice to be region free but again it was down to the publishers if a code was implimented on the games.
The Ps3 is region free but also you can lock out games with region protection just look back at the Rachet and Clank TOD demo it was taken down and recoded to be region free as that was region locked originaly on the US PSN.

While it is indeed down to the publishers, the chances of a triple pack receiving the region-free treatment when not every game on the 360 has, is very slim at best.
However, after a bit of research, I have found out that Lost Planet Colonies and Devil May Cry 4 are region-free (the US versions) but Dead Rising isn't. So unless you want a coffee mat with the Dead Rising disc, importing this triple pack would be a waste of time, money and effort. Again, you can find all three rather cheap these days. Especially Dead Rising and Lost Planet.
As for region-locking on the PS3, you'll only find Blu-Ray films that have the tendency to be region-locked, not the games themselves. Game content is also dependant on your region (you cannot download NTSC game content for your PAL game for example). However, that's where the line is drawn, despite it being rather irrelevant.

Play-Asia sell alot of Region free games.

The only reason I'd want/need this would be for LP Colonies Edition. But I'm not that bothered about it, otherwise I'd already have it.

I was only going the R&K TOD demo which was removed and recoded so it was region free when it wasn't originaly. So the option is their but not used.
I think Dead Rising is the only capcom game region locked.
But then you have to think about other games that you buy frim the UK are region locked and won't play on the US system.
TBH you can get all those games prity cheap anyway.
