Microsoft Gives Away Two Games With 360s

11:58PM Brian Crecente | Microsoft this morning confirmed part of the bundle rumour that’s been ravaging the Internet for weeks: All Xbox 360s and Xbox 360 Elites will now come with free copies of Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance, a $US 90 value. Better still the price for the consoles will not be going up, which is very much like a price drop in my mind. According to the press release, posted after the jump, both the bundled 360 (at $US 350) and the bundled Elite (at $US 450) will be available by the end of the month. The fact that this is called the Holiday Bundle, makes me think it’s not going to last. So if you’re in the market for the 360 now might be a good time to jump on board. More »

New 360 Double Game Bundles Discovered

1:00AM Flynn De Marco | Yesterday I got an email from a fellow who said he had found an image of a holiday bundle for the 360 and as there wasn’t much more information available, I put on my Sherlock Holmes hat and got to work. After some rummaging about, I was able to turn up not only the Elite Bundle, but one for the Pro system as well marked as eventually being available in the US. The bundle will include the system and it’s accessories plus two games, Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. These images were discovered on a website Microsoft uses to market their products and while there was no pricing information available, the Elite image was clearly marked as “Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Value Bundle.” Judging by the name, one can assume that this will be the Xbox’s bundles available for the upcoming Thanksgiving/Christmas shopping season. Unless of course they are saving it for Flag Day, which means we won’t see it till spring of next year. Chacun son pack [Gamick] More »
