360-GoW bundle in Europe: it's a consumer's choice |
Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Christmas, Europe, Microsoft
Ó
A new day, a new GoW entry. Gears of War is everywhere. Maybe your pet goldfish even knows about it. Yeah, GoW is under the limelight as fast and steady. Besides, you can't deny the fact that it's one popular game. And that's putting it lightly.
Microsoft knows this fact very well and they're willing to bet their bottom dollar that they can make some more console sales this Christmas by piggy-backing on this wave. The folks up at Europe are going to have bundles of joy this Christmas because they're just gearing up for a perfect gift for a gamer.
The big MS just announced that they're going to release a [drumroll] 360-GoW bundle [feigned gasp of surprise] out for the European market. You'd be able to check it out from the counter from December 24 onwards for £ 299.99 (roughly US$ 574.49) until supplies last. That'll include the unit itself, the cables, peripherals, etc., and a copy of Gears of War.
Of course, one can't help but think... What with sales of GoW increasing at the rate of Big Bang proportions, by the time Christmas hits, would there be a substantial number of gamers without a copy of the said title? Much less, are there even enough people without a 360 unit yet? All those who've wanted a 360 and GoW would probably already have bought one, but hey! You can't blame Microsoft for trying! For some people, this bundle could be a make-or-break factor that could help them in choosing between (since the PS3 won't arrive until March) a 360 and Wii for Christmas.

And as we all know the pound is stronger
than the euro and dollar but also that
the euro is a stronger currency than the dollar
because 299 pounds is about 575 DOLLARs!
which is nothing compared to 388$
