seems like a decent deal. and the other versions are getting free full games. May be a good holiday for the 360.

With the pro console getting forza 2 and marvel I'm very tempted to get one. Still need to work my way through forza 1....

I had an original XBox years back (very briefly-2 weeks) and I am thinking I may get a 360 this year... perhaps it's time.

It needs Geometry Wars in there.

Wouldn't it be smarter to get the real version of the 360 with the real games? It seems as though most people interested in Pac-Man would have it in some form, and Uno... who cares?

 

Don't get me wrong, I know why people would buy this bundle and I know that they're trying to take customers from Nintendo, but I don't think anyone other than little kids will get suckered by this. I'll take 20 gigs and 2 real games (and it looks as though a headset, I can't quite make it out) over the $70. I don't think I'd ever gill 20 gigs, but I just don't trust the evolution of consoles. How many PS3/360 versions have there been so far? 10? 15? I wouldn't want to be stuck with the lowest end when it's so close.

Hu? Uno's one of the most popular selling Live games on the system. Proof that the statement all 360 owners are only fans of FPS is a myth.

Big deal

 

Pack-ins aren't exactly anything new and the Wii (in the US at least) has been giving away Wii Sports since the beginning.

They're simply rebadging the core unit and throwing in some other stuff for a different target market. What's wrong with that? It'll still play all the games. If those who buy one want to shell out money later they can get a hard drive.

I had an XBOX for a very very short period of time. There's really nothing on it that interested me and I hated the look of the system. I had took some super strong glue and cut out a chicken from a bucket of chicken and stuck it on the circle on top. Nobody was getting that off! When someone bought it off me he didn't even ask about the chicken all he cared is the system worked.

 

The 360 is much nicer looking and I want one, just don't have the money.

I guess its not totally official yet as to what is included with the Arcade Edition as THIS story indicates that the games are "trial" versions only.

It can't possibly be that because then people wouldn't have a reason to rant about how M$ is evil and trying to cheat everyone...

I just saw the box for one of these in Best Buy. On the outside it says it includes 5 games AND demos.
