Could get a Blue Snowball for half the price and works just as well.
good microphone, but odd bundle.
if you're looking for a microphone and want to pay a little more than a snowball and are interested in WD2 then this is a great deal.
Gotta make sure your l33t hax0r voice is crisp and clear, along with your mother yelling at you to get off the computer in the background.

Nothing like hearing someone smack their lips when they talk while playing some games. Glad EA decided to release the "Become another failed broadcaster" kit, ft Watch Dogs 2.
tbh you can get an equally good microphone for much less. blue microphones are overpriced these days now that they've gained popularity among youtubers
$89 for watch dogs 2 included though, that's a pretty good deal

Yeti is stereo, pretty massive difference for music recording.

The Blue Yeti has been dropping in price for years now, what are you going on about?

Works better imo, then again I snapped the USB cable for the Yeti in like a week, I dropped the snowball several times directly on the usb connection and still going strong.
I bought one four days ago
This actually seems like a pretty good deal

Really? I bought mine around 3 or 4 years ago, it was £50, looked a day or two ago, most of them from popular online retailers are easily in the £70 range now
Is this a decent deal? I've been looking at getting a good mic and I have fleeting interest in WD2.

I've only heard great things about WD2 other than the stealth not being that great.
Personally, I'd go for it if I didn't already have two passable mics and didn't plan on hopefully grabbing WD2 in the steam sale
This would be a good deal if I wanted Watch Dogs 2
there's leagues of difference between this and the snowball in how it captures, the yeti not only has stereo, but a tri-directional mic array, which allows the various input modes to function, whereas the snowball is pretty much just cardioid-focused with its front-facing single mic (and also the rig is ugly)

this is also why I'm a bit mad when people point the mic head directly at their mouth instead of the face of the mic, it's a bit important how it's positioned in front of you
it's a bit above and beyond for your average nerd looking to just play games online like people are acting here, but the yeti is a pretty common choice for people looking to do streaming and youtube work so it's a neat pack to offer
For anyone looking to get a good mic, find yourself a nice cheap audio interface, While Blue Yeti's can be an eh to okay microphone, you could get something better with a XLR microphone and an audio interface.

Remember, this advice should be taken if you're doing something that isn't just talking with your friends on teamspeak or using it on games. If you have a tighter budge and need a cheap USB microphone just for gaming or chat room use, you could go ahead and just buy a USB microphone

Because of that I was actually using the microphone the wrong way (facing me instead of standing up) for like 3 weeks :v:, I feel so dumb
To be honest this actually does sound like a good deal. I need a good mic for music recording and I've been wanting to get this game, so it sounds like a win win.
