Xbox 360 Hardware Gets 'Game of the Year Bundle'

April 20, 2009 8:04 AM

A limited edition Xbox 360 "Game of the Year" hardware bundle will hit North American store shelves in May, Microsoft announced today.

Priced at $399, the bundle packs an Xbox 360 Elite--itself normally sold at $399--along with copies of Bungie's shooter Halo 3 and Lionhead's action-RPG Fable II.

The Elite differs from other versions of the hardware as it comes with a 120GB hard drive, instead of a 60GB HDD (Xbox 360 Pro) or 512MB of storage (Xbox 360 Arcade).

The promotion continues Microsoft's recent trend of pairing the Xbox 360 Elite with software at no extra cost, last seen with the Resident Evil 5 bundle in March.

Welp, I think this is it. A 360 bundle with games that I actually want. If these elites have jasper core (they should, being new and all), I may actually take the plunge and get one.

  Yep, doesn't seem bad at all. Don't forget that Fable 2 probably has one of those trial months of Xbox Live as well, least I'm pretty sure it does.
