Just look at this. (http://digg.com/xbox_360/First_actual_pictures_of_Xbox_360_Arcade_bundle_leaked_with_packing_list) All I can say is. WHAT THE ****?!?!?!?!?!
Microsoft isn't retarded, they just know that they can get away with selling crap and people will still buy it.
I wish I had 400 dollars to spend on pac-man and... -gasp- Uno!
Well, that made my day.
I thought the Xbox was supposed to be more adult than other gaming systems. I was proven wrong.
You have to keep in mind that most 'adults' grew up on Pac-man... so the nostalgia figure is great.
Not to mention a lot of kids have Xboxes, too... Viva Pinata and Guitar Hero are great kid (and Fisk) games.
Umm... No parent in their right mind would pay 300 dollars for that piece of crap just to play pacman. ANd if they did, they might as well get the premium Xbox-360, seeing as this is just a really stripped down version to get rid of stock. If they were going to do that, they should've made it MUCH cheaper. But now they're advertising it as a new model, which is extremely stupid, even for microsoft.
I'm not saying it's a good investment to buy it, but a lot of people did play Pac-man as children. My dad plays Pac-man when he can...

yeah, only a moron would do that, XD nice Fisk nice.
If Microsoft wants to get rid of extra stock, why not just lower the price? I think that would be a lot better of a selling point than charging $279.99 for a core system without a freakin' hard drive. Oh, and an arcade disc.

You can probably buy the old arcade machine itself for somewhere around that price. My parents would go NUTS for that. I'm sure the parents however, will complain about not being able to use the old style "Stick Shift-like thing".
Yeah, but you can buy "Stick Shift-like things" for a 360. Actually, it might not be a bad investment if you get suckered into buying this package. But you know what? I have a plug-and-play TV thing with Pac-Man and other arcade games built into it that also comes with the arcade-style joystick, and it was only $20. If you need to satisfy your arcade cravings, go to eBay and buy what I've got.
Actually, I'm interested in this bundle. I heard that it will be the replacement for the Core System. It actually looks better, since it comes with a wireless controller and memory card.

what are you talking about? i'm getting this the day it comes out!
......
Please, please tell me you're joking.
I mean seriously, a memory card? It doesn't have a freaking hard drive, that's like missing 75% of the gaming experience of an xbox360.
nope... i'm completely serious!
