Retailers need to sell more video games in discounted group bundles. Buying a single copy is so 20th century.

News Blips:

Borderlands

Steam discounts its group rate for Borderlands. The package includes four digital copies of the game for $134.97, which breaks down to $33.75 a pop. It's kind of a novel concept, and it sure as hell beats buying one copy of a game and playing four-person splitscreen multiplayer. [Joystiq]

Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime has some fighting words legitimate concerns over Sony's PSP Go. In an interview with The Washington Post, Fils-Aime wonders who the competition's primary demographic is and the benefit these consumers receive for buying a PSP Go. Maybe he should take a look at Suriel's article. [The Washington Post]

Whew! Saving Private Ryan writer Robert Rodat is set to craft World of Warcraft film. Speaking with MTV News, WOW film director Sam Raimi expressed his excitement for having Rodat on board as a writer, dubbing him the best for the job. It looks like this flick is already off to a better start than any Uwe Bowe production.

Nintendo's confident in the sales power of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto made the claim during a demonstration of the upcoming platformer. He said that Nintendo expects to see significant sales of NSMB Wii after the 1-year mark, something that's uncommon in the business. We wonder if this is a subliminal hint that 10 years from now, we'll be buying the fourth remake of this game. [1UP]

I second the Borderlands comment. Let's hope the game lives up to our expectations.

PSA: Steam has this same deal for L4D2 preoders - it's perfect for that game since once the demo comes out (early for preorders), I'll have a few buddies to play with right away.
