Rumor confirmed. Kind of...

Yesterday we brought you the news of a Swedish website offering a GTA IV bundle for PlayStation 3, even though a Sony rep has said that it is nothing but "rumor or speculation". Still, more rumors and speculations can be seen today (and probably even more will follow), since a new GTA IV bundle showed up on UK website shopto.net.

The interesting thing regarding the bundle is the fact that the box looks exactly like the one that showed up yesterday and the ShopTo website has "Sony" written as manufacturer. Another thing that makes us believe this could be official - not only a bundle packed by the retailer itself - is the fact that it will be dispatched "as soon as we receive the product". Indeed, GTA IV hasn't been shipped yet and that is definitely on of the reason the bundle is not in stock, but it's really hard to believe that Sony keeps its hands crossed and does nothing to get more buyers.

Except for these details, you should know that the website is offering the PS3 bundle for ?289.99, which means 425EUR, which further means that the reports we heard yesterday regarding the Swedish bundle (reports claiming that the price could be lower without the amount of Swedish taxes) were correct. Or the fact that this one doesn't come with "a little surprise" (believed to be the DualShock 3 controller) could be the reason for a lower price.

Anyway, one thing is clear: the GTA IV bundle exists in England, too and it seems that everything is for real and we'll most likely see it coming to many other countries as well. I really doubt Sony or Rockstar would miss such a chance. Not to mention that it would be unfair for gamers (and I am talking about PS3 fans here) not to have a special edition of the console and game they love.
