Well I just added up all the stuff for the $699.92 Ultimate Bundle.

If the games are going to be $59.99... I added up all the stuff in the bundle and it comes to $721.92 .. so basically you are getting the Play & Charge Kit free... That's it.......

So don't buy the bundle and just get the games you want. There is basically no saving by getting the bundle, just a free Play & Charge Kit ($20 bucks)

I go on the eb site and take a look at this.... http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/categories/systems/xbox360/default.asp?site=NLF0823

I don't want all of this ****. I want the $499 premium deal with one game. Why are they adding all this junk together??? :bang: $699 my ass :cuss:

and what's funnier is that the $699 pack is currently #1 on today's bestselling preorders at ebgames.com, with the $599 pack at #4

you're not saving much at all either buying these big packs. I'd rather just buy the $399 console and buy the games i want with the accessories i want.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.....The deal is stupid.

yeah i dont think i could ever be comfortable spending this amount of money in one go... i think i prefer to have my money gradually drained from me, even if it works out more expensive.

although, if i had the money id be tempted to get it

It's stupid. All I want with my premium system is one game. That is all I can afford. I wont even be getting my Live re-newed for the first 2-3 months (thankfully we get 1 month free)

Actually, the belief now is that the games will be 50, minus Perfect Dark which will be 60 because it is the limited edition version, so you dont get much except for the guarantee to take one home on release day.

That's exactly my situation....I hope they still offer the $499 premium pack.

Oh .. that will be nice if the games stay at $50, which would make this Bundle over priced.

Anyways, I got a pre-order at GameCrazy already. Though I pre-ordered before the 2 versions were even offically announced, so I think I need to call them up see what to do now. Make sure I get the $399 package (no bundles! unless I save $50)

well actually for now, only microsoft has announced that their games will be $50. So if you go to Ebgames.com, all the 360 games that aren't from Microsoft are still $60 :confused: :cry:

I don't even think I'm going to pre order. I'm just going to go to the store on launch day and hope the God I can get a premium package without any games....I only want one, I only want one, I only want one....I want only one. So this is gonna be what now??? November 15th...16th??

Unless you happen to be interested in purchasing all those specific games at once, those bundles do seem a bit pointless.

Take a look at Gamestops pre-order bundles, Xbox 360 (http://www.gamestop.com/productmerch.asp?groupid=310), they have one going for over $1,000 :yikes:

Will you be able to take the hard drive out of the Xbox and put it in the 360?

I don't get why they just don't have bundles that are just $100-$150 or so more that include a game or two along with some other goodies.

Yeah, I agree with you. I'm not going to pre-order a 360 if I have to get one of these bundles, I will just go out the day that it is released and hope I can get one and choose what I want to get with it.
