Memorize those two Xbox 360 bundles at the right. Know them. Love them. They are what you will be looking for in the Black Friday 2011 ads. At least, if you’re hoping to grab an Xbox 360 this year they are. Microsoft has just announced it will have two bundles to choose from this year, both being pretty awesome deals and coming with some pretty good games, considering the price tag.
Let’s call the first bundle the gamer bundle. It’s $299.99 and comes with everything you need to get started playing the more serious and mature games. You get a 250gb Xbox 360, a copy of Fable III, a copy of Halo: Reach, a wireless controller, all the necessary cords and such plus a three month Xbox Live Gold membership. So you can sample the online multiplayer for both games and generally enjoy yourself. Just be aware that you will need an internet connection to get Halo: Reach, since this bundle only includes a code to download it and not an actual physical copy of the game.
The other bundle is $399.99 and more for families. It also includes a $250gb Xbox 360, but also adds the Kinect peripheral to the mix. The games included here are Kinect Adventures, which comes with every Kinect, and a downloadable copy of Carnival Games: Monkey See, Monkey Do. So once again, you’ll need an internet connection for the extra game. It also comes with one wireless controller, the necessary cords/cables and a three months subscription to Xbox Live Gold.
As cool as Kinect has proven itself to be, I think the bundle with Fable III and Halo: Reach will be the most popular this year. I also think it’d be best to wait before buying either bundle, as I’m sure some stores will soon include both in their sales circulars and perhaps even offer free gift cards if you buy one of them. If you can’t wait, then head over to Amazonas it already has product listings for both bundles.
