It's 100 dollars more for 130 GB, a brand new game and an extra controller. Plus a cool design. Now, When I bought my 60GB HDD it was around 100$ with taxes and all. The game will be between 70-80$ with taxes, and the extra controller is I think 50 bucks?
That's around 225$. (CAD, I'm not sure how to convert)
The HDD is 130 GB more, so that's like 2 60GBs = 200$. If you want to get picky, 215$ for the extra 10 GB.
So, lets just say it's around 330$. And you're getting this for only 100$ with the bundle. Thats a savings of 230$!!! (Wow, this sounds like such an advertisement - I'm really not. I just wanna see what you guys think! But you have to admit that it's a pretty good deal)
What a wicked deal... This is obviously Microsoft lashing back at the Slim.
I can do my mathz :D If anyone sees any discrepancies, please notify. It's a pretty good deal for people who want Modern Warfare 2 and a new system, you'd have to admit.
Wow, so the new COD bundle is such an amazing deal.
Its a great deal thats for sure now only if they had that bundle but with a game i was gonna buy, like ODST, or Forza 3.
But will Assasians Creed 2 move a million units like they are predicting COD will?
It makes sense from a business standpoint to put the anticipated blockbuster with a deal like this. I personally think it will be more of the same, but hey, they will make a ton of money for people who need new 360's. That is for sure.
" You've really done the math up. Scept hey, PC HDDs quadruple that size cost the same price. Its only a good deal in the context of the Xbox's previous ripoffs. "yup, good deal if you don't own a 360 yet though, obviously. but still a ripoff for a harddrive of that size lol, but hey they can do it when they control what kind of harddrive goes in the 360.
" @ryanwho: Yeah, but there are a lot of people who just want a console. I know what you're saying but some people just don't want to spend so much money on keeping their gaming PC up to date, plus some poeple just like the game on their couch. I know there are a lot of alternatives, and I know what you're saying but the majority doesn't think that way, unfortunately. "I think he means just buying the same drive off the shelf without the 360 encasement is way cheaper. I have double the storage on my PS3 than that bundle and it only cost 90 bones.
Always negativity here, always.
I'm saying that, if a person were to go and buy a 360, MW2 and two controllers without this bundle, they would have to pay a ton more. That's all I'm saying.
Fuck. I just don't get people sometimes. You don't have to get all elitist on me and point out everything that is wrong with everything. Companies overprice things. People die. We shit. We get sad. These are things we can't change.
@Snapstacle: Oh, you can buy 360 hard drives that aren't from Microsoft? I thought you could only get Microsoft made 360 HDDs. I don't really know what you mean by "without the encasement"
Great deal, but PS3 is enough for me.
Edit: Oh and my Wii, but since I haven't turned it on in say 5 months pfffft.

" The extra controller and the copy of Modern Warfare 2 alone make it the best deal of the year. "Until the PSP Go comes out that is. I mean $250 for a UMDless psp sounds to good to be true.

" @Atlas said:Wow, that's awesome. It's like Microsoft came on these boards and read that so many people wanted that. You definitely aren't the first person I've seen on GB who wanted that bundle, Atlas."Yeah, call me when they bundle it with Forza 3, or Dragon Age. "Consider yourself called, son "
