$300 Xbox 360 Spring Bundle revealed

360's hate spring.  It causes them to explode. 

um ya who's buying a 360 knowing that at the end of the year most likely both next gen consoles are coming out and will only cost about 100-200 bucks more then this. Either that or just grab a 360 used and buy those games both new for like 20 bucks each and save yourself a couple hundred bucks. Seriously pawn shops are drowning in these things. A local one near me sells them for like 50-80 bucks depending on how old they are and he has like 30 of them just sitting in the back. 

There are 8 more months before November 2012 and this is what Microsoft is ANOUNCING?? I now see why they are not talking about next gen yet.  When you are making HUGE profits on this gen consoles why rush to next gen!!

I dont know wtf microsoft is thinking but as a long time xbox fan Sony got my full attention. Whatever microsoft is cooking it better be just amazing...

who would buy this with new consoles around the corner?

Well the 250 GB XBox 360 Slim by itself is usually $300. So getting 2 games for free isn't a bad deal. Including at least 6 months of XBL for free would have been nice. At least the XBox 360 Slim is a solid piece of hardware compared to the new toy-like PS3 Slim with top loading access. That thing is so cheaply made, it isn't even funny. Not even worth $200. The original PS3 Slim is great. Still M$ should have dropped the price of the XBox 360 Slim to $250 by now. Maybe they will do that before then launch the XBox Infinity.

Not much of a value here.

what a retarded bundle 

they should give a bundle this: one year of gold+4200 MS points to spend on your choice of games 

and that's it! 

shoving all sorts of crap won't increase sales 

Ugh $300? Really? I've been considering getting a 250 gb Xbox Slim because I still have the older model Xbox 360 with just a 20gb hard drive and I'm tired of running out of space and having to delete stuff. I'd be willing to pay $200 for this but $300? Come on. With the new Xbox about 9 months away that's just absurd. And what's up with these bundles? I just want the 250gb console, not these extra games and a throwaway 1 month subscription. These bundles usually have games I either already own or have no interest in playing. Maybe I'll just stick it out and wait until the new consoles come out at the end of the year.

Microsoft wants to sell as many broken Xboxes as possible before they make the new one with RROD 2.0 and a second redesign.....

$300.00 For the Xbox 360 then HOW MUCH for the Next Xbox launching this year??? 

This is a terrible offer, a 250$ bundle comes with a game anyway so you're basically paying 50$ for a digital copy of another one that costs less than that by now.

WOW once again Microsoft just shows how much they LOVE their customers. And So many people will defend this saying, Microsoft is a company that wants to make a profit it is their right to charge what they think people will pay.

But even though Microsoft is launching a ~about $400.00 console this year they still want $300.00 out of people NOW?!!!

Those games pretty much come to $30 total for the both of them.

$270 for a 360 is a ripoff.

No thanks i'm saving for the new Xbox this holiday.Anyone paying this much this close to next gen is crazy.MS the 360 needs a price drop not 2 crappy game's added to the console.A 250GB cost $100 to make and it's still $299 come on.they should be $199 now and the 4gb $149.

That seems pretty expensive. I bought a 360 2 years ago or so on a special promotion and I got a 250 GB with Alan Wake, Fable 3, Forza 3 and Halo 3 for what amounted to about 250 bucks. Granted, it was a special deal, but Darksiders 2 is like half a year old and Batman is over a year old.

ms should tie a year sub on each new 360 sold or the nextbox. if ms played their cards right i think they woulda outs old the wii

If the new xbox needs Kinect then I aint buying it.

1984 here we come.

What a lame excuse for a bundle. 1 month of Live was always there when you connect a "new" Xbox to the Internet.

Drop the goddamn price M$. I bought a 360 for $300 in 2005. It's 2013, talk about ripping people off M$. I used to love you, let me love you again. Stop pulling away from my wallet with every move you make. 

Let me guess, the Live subscription automatically renews after the "free" month? I see your game Microsoft.
