Then Microsoft, Sony, Netflix, Valve, etc. need to be suing the ISPs that are starting this B.S. metered internet service before it takes hold or they won't have their model for many of us. I currently have only one viable choice for broadband and they are going to be implementing a 5GB cap per month.

It does have force feedback.

The bundle also comes with a limited edition ace combat face plate and a dvd movie. I picked mine up last night at the reward zone deal. My best buy only had 2 of them in stock.

Did the price adjust a couple of days ago. Thanks for the heads up.

The Best Buy I bought it at a couple of weeks ago had an endcap full of them (at least 8). They didn't have the sale marked on them however....

I'm looking forward to trying this with hawx, having a story much less weird will be a break from the aweful cutscenes in AC6......

I wonder if BB is getting a restock on these bundles, or if this is a one shipment deal?

It's sold out online... I doubt there's any more heading to the stores.

It was on sale ($20 off) last week (11/09 - 11/15) - I got mine 11/08 and was able to get the difference back even though it was sold out at every store near me.

It has never been in stock online. It said "sold out" from the very first day it started showing up on the store locator and never changed. Having said that, it is now showing available at every Best Buy store in Southern California as far as I can tell and it looks like the store closest to me in LA just got another shipment as tthey had a nice little stack design going this afternoon consisting of 10 boxes when they only had two on the floor last week. I don't think it will be restocked further beyond this, but I also don't think it's going to sell out for a while given the price and the fact that the game alone now is down to $30 making this controller, faceplate and DVD $120.

Shelf price at my BB says regular price is 129.99, not a sale price. They have at least one in stock, I already have the game so not worth it to me to pick up.

Actually, it was a sale. The price on the web site went back up to $150 this morning and I would assume all store prices went back up too. Having said that, I'm sure it will go back down reasonably soon assuming any are left.

Given the price reduction for the game, $90-$100 would be a better price for this bundle.

Well it was originally $150, but after the game dropped $20, they lowered the bundle by $20.

That was only for last week's sale. It is back up to $150 now.

Never going to happen with the way things are going, as more and more ISPs go to capped bandwidth or are starting to test capped bandwidth it will kill DLC for large files and will totally kill DLC for entire games and movies. In 3 years I think we'll see almost every form on Internet access having some limitations.

A few of the ISPs have went to 5GB a month limits with HUGE per MB fees or complete cancelation after reaching the limit. That would not even cover a game on the next gen of consoles.

Now, there is a way around this. If the ISP would ignore certain 'sources' of data and not count that bandwidth against you and if those 'sources' had an agreement where they paid the ISP for the bandwidth of the purchase and that was worked in to the price we paid then I could see a system with no media as an option. That is something I could see happening with music, movies and games in the future - as ISPs go toward limited access having certain sources not count toward that limit as long as the ISP was reimbursed.

Comcast, one of the largest provide in the country has a 250GB cap. Most people are not going to get that much in a month even if they are downloading movies, tv show, music, and games.

Emeryville, CA has a few. Shelf price was 129, but rang up at 150. They adjusted to the lower price for me but fixed the shelf price...sorry.

According to Namco's press release, this bundle will only be available exclusively in-store, so don't look to see this available at bestbuy.com

I also picked one up ($130) during the Reward Zone event.

I was having a tough time justifying the purchase, but now that I have it, I think it's totally awesome. Too expensive, but totally awesome.

People that download Xbox content are not "most people". If the kids in my family were older many months I would go over this, easily on 100% legal apps. I'm not unique. But 250GB is the highest I've heard and most are 50-150. My ISP's starting point is 5 before they start nickel and diming you for higher tiers. You better hope you have at least 3 viable ISPs in your town (for competition to keep reasonable prices and caps) or a source for unmetered bandwidth (unsecured hot spots?) if you are a big gamer or use a lot of online media.

Just went to Best Buy and it was still $130 here. Didn't pick it up because I'm waiting for a better stick... hopefully it'll be with AC7.
