Xbox 360 Elite GotY Halo 3 Fable 2 - Image 1


Last week's rumor of two new Xbox 360 bundles are confirmed today by an official press release. Microsoft has announced the Halo 3 and Fable II bundles, both of which are touting the coveted Game of the Year tag on them.

US$ 399 gets you the bundle, with both Bungie Studios or Lionhead Studios' games.
  • 120 GB Xbox 360 Elite
  • a copy of Halo 3
  • a copy of Fable 2
  • a wireless controller
  • a wireless headset
  • an HDMI cable
  • a free Netflix trial
Good job, Microsoft. Two good games in one go. Pretty hard to pass up this bundle. And if you're thinking of getting one, you have to be quick about it. They say it will be produced in limited amounts - though no specific number or time frame of availability was given. The GotY bundles start shipping to retailers this May.

It seems like a good deal.



I will probably have to sell my current 360( First generation, been to repairs 3 times O_O) to get this one.

I couldn't care less. I just made my house 100% Microcrap free in the last few months when I sold my 360 and replaced all my PC's with Macs. I wouldn't bring that pile of crap into here if Microcrap paid me!

OH! wait! I get it now! You put crap in their name to imply that are crappy! Damn, thats clever. Seriously, never seen anyone that smart and witty! This whole thing is gonna take off, you just started a new insult trend!

» just mad cause your ps3 is dusty

i mean comon you have to wait a long time for a good quality exclusive ps3 tittle comes out and hope its any good and if your lucky you have a bc PS3 so you can enjoy the many great PS2 tittles. I bet if the PS2 and PS3 came out at the same time and had the current game libraries that they have the ps2 would still be better than the PS3 even if the graphics are not the best but hey the gameplay is awesome. If the 360 was crap why would people get them repaired or buy new ones cause they got better games and online is the best cause you can invite friends to matches. Achievements are better than trophies.

yeah, because using third party accessories voids the warranty...



seriously... ps3s are not immune to failure...

actually you could care less...



if you cared less you wouldn't bother to bash the console, let alone post on a 360 blog...

People buy them because they like crap. Thats why crap always succeeds. Why would Microsoft put a Blu-Ray drive in? Why include an HDMI port? Why make LIVE free? That might make the console GOOD and GOOD things never succeed. They learned this with their operating systems. Nintendo also did similar the Wiik is freakin' weaker then the original Xbox, and it succeeds! But I really don't care, I save $50 a year, and I got all the good games, better then ones on 360 since I get SiREN, LBP, LocoRoco, PAiN, and all my PS2 faves. The only game I wish was on PS3 is Dead Rising. I got the greatest game console ever made and yes, it does get dusty.

"Achievements are better than trophies."



Ok, already know there's a lot of fanboyism going on in this thread, but lol @ that.



They're the same thing. For cripes' sake. When you say dumb things like that, you look insecure.
