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/categorie...p?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???

$699 my ass

**George89** · 08-24-2005

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

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

**SamSmith** · 08-24-2005

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

**George89** · 08-24-2005

and is it me or do they not have the regular $299 and $399 Xbox 360 packs listed anymore!!!!!!!

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)

**SamSmith** · 08-24-2005

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)

**Duke** · 08-24-2005

as far as i know all pre-orders are being upgraded to the $399 price point, no bundles.

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

**laughs** · 08-24-2005

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??
