New Xbox 360 Slim bundle (Only $249)

I couldnt believe it when i saw it, what do you guys think? Is it a great deal?

Now you can save 30% when you get what you need to get your game on, with this great value on a new Xbox system. Not only do you get the new Xbox 360 4GB console, you'll also get an extra wireless controller, so you can get your friends and family in the game. Plus, you'll be able to play with Xbox gamers from all over the world, since you'll also get a 12-month Xbox LIVE Gold card—and 4000 Xbox LIVE points—so you can download games, movies, and more.

It's a good deal but if I were to buy a 360 I'd stay away from the 4GB one

Sounds good EXCEPT for the 4GB.

holy jesus, that is pretty good.

$50 in MS points and a wireless controller. that really isn't bad at all.

if I didn't have a 360 right now, I'd get that, make my own HDD, and I'd be set:o

it all sounded good until i saw it was the 4 GB model

thats a good dealexcept for the lackluster storage.

good deal whats Sony running???

Is the bundle coming to Australia? :)

good deal whats Sony running???

PS3 slim for $3.50.

$250 for hardware I couldn't give away for free if it was the PC equivalent. Someone call the police, this is daylight robbery. :lol:

I dont know, that PS3 Move bundles a pretty good deal. this Bundle is fine for a small section of people that will only use 4GBs of Stoarge, tis just I cant imagine taht beinga very large number of people. Even casuals are gonna need more space probaly.

At first I was like "Oh, cool"

but then I saw 4 GB. :|

Isn't there a Forza 3 Alan Wake bundle coming out? I'll buy it for sure.

Seems quite pricey for what you get.

yeah for you maybe, but for a ton of other games im sure they will love it, i know you dont like the 360 but try and be realistic. its a good deal...

I think MS is doing good by these game bundles for the consoles. Thats the kinda stuff you can do when you have your hardware cheap enough to where you can still not lost a ton of money even when your putting games with each console. But I think this would be more appealing at 349 and it was the 250gb HDD one.

Can you even upgrade the hard drives on these models?

I just wish instead of 4gb maybe it was, I donno, 10gb? At least? :P

I just don't get how 10 years ago the original Xbox released with a 10gb standard hdd, and this gen 4gb is the standard 5 years into it!!!!!!!! And that doesn't even work for some games like Halo Reach....That's the big issue. At least give gamers something to make sure you get 100% access to all your games.

Bigboi500

yeah. technically it's easier because it actually uses a regular SATA connection.

but if you don't have the new style of enclosure you have to secure it yourself. otherwise it wiggles around when the box is moved.

Somethin seriously fishy about the small HD. How come they can't do the same bundle only with a large HD for $300?

Well, the only Larger HDD they have now is the 250gb, but that would be stupid business wise to offer this deal with that HDD for that price. maybe at 349.

well, 360 can only use propriatary HDDs sold by MS, meaning they get to dictate the HDD space for the 360.

I lost interest the second I seen 4GB.

I kidna already told this story, but when i was in a Gamestop last weekend a Father was considering picking up a Arcade 360, but when the clerk informed him on the storage space, he asked if he could increase it later on. The clerk told him yes, but he would need to buy a 129.99 HDD. I wasnt paying close close attention, but I dont think he walked out with a 360 that day.

Also, isnt this just a Online only thing? that could limit the appeal somewhat maybe.

It actually probably looked better when it had no hdd than it does saying 4gb on it. I could picture people doing a double take and putting it back.

...my 360 red ringed. 4000 MS points does sound nice.... thats 50$ worth of DD. I'll look into it also a 4th controller sounds nice (got 3 ) when's this bundle hit stores? mayceV

its awesome, enjoy its coming out soon...
