In Canada, bundling games has been a standard practice with the Best Buys and Wal-Marts already bundling 360 Premiums with Forza and Amped 3 or Forza and NHL 2k8.

as public opinion in the uk is strongly opposed to the ps3 "bungle" i hope m$ take heed to the consumer and not the shareholder and do the right thing for the gamer, but it seems these days all consoles are designed to do is make our wallets slimmer by whatever means necessary! gone are the days of the devs making free content as its just not capitalist enough! where would cs source be without the free modding?
anyway get read for the m$360 bundle screwover!
I won't buy a bundle.
If people wanted that extra crap in the first place, they wouldn't have to bundle it on to get you to take it home.
Just sell me the console, Microsoft, and do it at a competitive price.
The money's in the games, anyway, so why don't you just follow the inkjet printer lead?
instead of games, why dont they bundle it with the wireless adapter?
Yeah, hardware is different. I could go for that, depending on what it was.
Great I guess MS knows which games appeal to me the most. Of course they couldn’t have some sort of discount card for 360 hardware/games, even live points. Looks like ill be attempting to sell two crapy games in order to buy one I actually want.
yeah, if they bundled with another wireless controller, or maybe a fan for their overheating problem, or a battery charger then I would be all for that. Otherwise, don't sell me games that I don't want to play. If you want to bundle a game, then look at how successful Nintendo was, they put their best games in with the console. Mario is still a classic, and it was free.
Yea!!! Bundle Hardware! Wireless controllers are expensive!!
I knew that it was going to go in this direction! I stated it a few months ago that the cheaper chip was going to force a hand to do something. I was wanting a price reduction though.....too bad :-( So I guess as soon as we start seeing the bundles, it's safe to assume that those consoles have the chip. Because I haven't heard or read anything stating proof that it's been used yet. We'll see what happens this holiday season. I hope I get another 10% off Best Buy coupon by then ;-)

unless I can pick 4 games(out of them all) to come with a premium for 350/400$ I will skip a bundle like the plague.
try again!
BTW sticking cheap ass crapiest cut games with it sucks bad.
If they really want to make an impact, they should throw in the HD-DVD drive
Dear God no! Not the BUNDLE!

Sony is laughable at 1G+ altho if MS hits 500+ thats even more laughable.

Microsoft isn't generous enough to throw in an overpriced wireless nework adapter(something useful for that matter) for an extra $20 or somethin'.
If I had a 360, I would need the wireless adapter, but for $130? Crazy. But not as crazy as the one for the Xbox. That was $200!
This is the way to keep the price up so that the companies profit margins stay relatively high.

Because you can plug the ethernet port into a B or G or A wireless router for half the price and use it like the 100$ USB 360 wireless adapter, do please try again, your only making yourself look more stupid.
