Xbox 360 Game of the Year Bundle Announced

A bundle with games that are actually good! Who'd a thunk it!

No Caption Provided
Microsoft announced this morning that it would be rolling out an upgraded version of its Xbox 360 Elite package this May. Named the Xbox 360 Game of the Year Bundle, the package is to include the same black Xbox 360 console and 120GB hard drive as the standard Elite, as well a copy of Halo 3 and Fable II, all for the same $399 price that the Elite package currently commands. Microsoft has been bundling games with its Elites for a while now, though Halo 3 and Fable 2 arguably make this a sweeter deal than LEGO Indiana Jones and Kung-Fu Panda for a new Xbox 360 owner.

Great bundle.  Although I'm more partial to Fable 2, Halo 3 is likely more attractive to new owners.

This is a great bundle. I feel jealous of anyone about to get it. I paid $399 for a Xbox 360 with a 20 GB hard drive and no games included, for god sakes.

"This has to be the best bundle that has been put out since Nintendo started shiping SNES systems with Super Mario All Stars."

I don't recall either of those games being named GOTY by anyone in the year which they came out. Oh well, both are still great.

I love the sarcastic "arguably" that Ryan through in there.  This is a great deal for those who've yet to make the leap to the 360.
