great bundle

you having a laugh? :P quite a few new 360 games are slowly asking for a HD insallation so its a money waster for someone who wants a 360 that doesnt want to spend more money in the near future

[LordX]

WHAT WHAT WHAT ?! CORE ??? without HDMI ? smells like Refurbished :mad:

I'm confused. Which games ask for a HD installation? :confused:

[Fe_man2000]

none so far - its possible that guy thinks GTA has it as there was some rumor it was going to have an optional install but to date there are no games that use the HD - and I doubt there wil be any in the future.

this offer means = microsoft has got millions of repaired xbox360 consoles in their repair centres all over the world (the bad effects of their 3 year extended warranty) & they need to get rid of them now.

[Taft]

Maybe he got mix up with Ps3? :rolleyes:

[Maurik]

weird, are you sure it's not arcade?

Yes of course. Because a company the size of Microsoft will be able to get away with selling refurbished consoles as new.

Damn, you're a smart cookie.

core had wired controllers. this has 2 wireless. Arcade bundle comes with live arcade games and 1 wireless controller.

Id say this is a new bundle. 2 games, 2 controllers and a mem card. You dont have to have a hard drive with the 360. Well except to save game date and live account info. But you wont be dl`ing tv shows, or movies off live with a mem card. But some people arent into that anyways.

This is actually what they should have done with the arcade bundle. Offer 2 real games and 2 wireless controllers and it become a nice buy for the price.

its not hard putting new cases on refurbished consoles.:rolleyes:

So are you saying thats what sony did with all those ps2`s that failed?

[nuke868]

do anybody knows if it has the hdmi coz for me its a picky if its an arcade with more stuff.

[BurningLung]

Good deal. I wouldn't buy one without a HDD, but it's a good price for what you get.

Exactly!

Wow I wanted to go to saturn TONIGHT to buy an xbox Arcade. Let's see if this one has HDMI!

Check out this GAME.es bundle:

XBOX360Pro 20GB HDMI + GTA4 + Play&Charge Kit = 279,90€

They are on sale since two weeks. Content of the pack:

Xbox 360 Core -> No HDMI -> Benq drive -> 203W Power Supply (Old one)
One wired controler
One wireless controller
512MB Memory Card
Both games on dvd

The Xbox were manufactured in March 2008

The pack is compatible with the "GTA4 for 10€ more"

Some report say that offers were enclosed for accesories (headset, 50€ off HDD), but it seems that these are not compatible with the GTA offer. (Both need the same original proof of purchase to send to 2 different PO Boxes)

Man, that sucks, its best to get a premium WITH hard drive WITH hdmi WITH Good drive & Internals WITH Headset.

Yes, but are these SO bad ? Prmiums are 269 and don't ship with anything. Arcade are 200 and you still need to buy that harddrive.

Does having an "old xbox" offsets the free 2 games & free controller ?

I am looking to buy an xbox and this deal seems very appealing. What am I risking ? There is still an 3 year waranty so ...

The only drawback is that apparently they are reusing and recycling 360s in these bundles. And btw the premium comes with a hdd a wireless controller and a headset unlike the arcade.

[snipersnake]

replace those games with Gears of War and Forza 2.
