Walmart had this same deal, online only, for $319. Given that info I would say it is NOT worth it. However, if you wait another week or two I am sure that a better deal will come available (Holiday sales and all),

Yes. That Xbox alone is $300, add a $15 XBL, and 3 games. 3 games = $180 So it's close to $100 off.

But those 3 games are not worth $180. Gears of War 3 might be the only one worth $60 others are $30 each.

Amazon has the same deal, minus Gears 3, for $299. I'm not sure though if you're counting that 1 black controller as an ADDITIONAL controller to the one that already comes with the system. I don't know how much shipping would be to you though.

Ah, didn't know you were in Australia. It really isn't worth it in my opinion. You are pretty much looking at retail price, may be a little off. GoW 3 - $60, Fable 3 - $15 to $20, and Reach - $20 - $30.

Considering you have not seen this I assume you are outside the the United States Territory, which I'm sorry if you enclosed that already, if you did i didn't notice, check out amazon.com or xbox.com they may have a deal close to it, I would say just buy a U.S system online, but i don't know how it would work with games in your territory, however if you are in the US territory, pretty much available in every store,

At first I thought the exchange rate for Aussie and U.S. dollars would make a big difference, but I guess it's almost even. Aussie dollars are currently worth a little more.

Before I make a statement to what you said - I would like to mention that this bundle (minus GoW3) is at Walmart for $299. Obviously doesn't help you, TC, but anyone else interested in this bundle - it's on Walmart.com

Anywho..

Xbox - $299
GoW3 - $60
Fable 3 - $30
Halo Reach - $40
3mo XBL - $25

$455 > $398.

So yes - this deal isworth it.

He said he lives in Australia and does NOT want to buy online. For people that have never been to Australia, this is a bargain compares to the prices most things cost down there. BTW - EB Games Australia has that same deal for $348.00 . . . .LINK . . . https://www.ebgames.com.au/xbox360-999670-Xbox-360-250GB-Console--4-Games-Deal-1-Xbox-360

If you look at my next reply I redid the prices. I assumed all were $60, at first -don't play any of those so I don't pay attention. Also your prices are still wrong. Fable 3 - $30 Halo Reach - $40 GoW 3 - $60 $130 - USD

You should buy at your local retailer... They often contribute to your community directly in many ways you may not know of. The deal is great!

You seem to get an extra game thrown in. Here was the same bundle with only the first 2 games included. The currency exchange rate would indicate that is a decent bundle price. Christmas sales will be should be happening soon. Which may mean better deals to come. At least "Here", but I don't know about "over there"
