Oh wow! Rumor's goin' around that you can get an Xbox 360 Elite and two Xbox 360 exclusives to play it with, for only US$ 400. Good deal, you say? That's not all. ARS Technica hints at yet another big deal exploding this weekend.

360 Elite, bundled with Halo 3 and Fable II - Image 1


The post over at ARS Technica went for the fictional narrative over the usual give-it-to-me-straight format, featuring the writer and his shady-dealing Mole buddy. Whatever the case, the rumor should be confirmed by the end of next week, so we won't waste a lot of time guessing.

And in case you're wondering what this is doing on the PS3 blog...

At the end of the post, the Mole drops another bomb, as indicated by this excerpt from the post, "Before he leaves, he gives me an envelope. 'That one's about Sony,' he tells me. 'Open it over the weekend, I think you'll be very interested in the information.'"

Should be an interesting weekend.



In the mean time, here are a few deals that are real:

A pretty good deal really, if its true. I might buy one of those.

You could find these games for a lot cheaper than 60 bucks so imo getting RE5 and SSFIIHD is better deal, only negative is the ugly red console

Way to build up more speculation, whomever the mole was.

» $400?

I thought $400 was too much money for anyone who buys a 360.

» well...

at first it seems great... but halo3 being as old as it is is cheap as hell in a eb/gamestop store and fable2 has prob sold so much it should be platnium hits by now.

Even if I wanted one (I don't. There's just nothing on it I want and I had enough troubles with my original Xbox) there's plenty cheaper ways to get the same exact items.

They should have a price drop, 400 is too much.

I have 2 Pro Consoles both bought brand new, what's that, $600USD? I don't understand your comment.

» anti-ps3 argument

I was talking about the people who complained about the ps3 costing too much at $400, so they buy a 360.

» wtf are you talking about?

You know the basic Elite is $400 as well right? So this limited time bundle gives you Halo 3 and Fable 2 for free... Pretty sure you can't beat free
