...isn't there a $199 Xbox too?

The 360 bundle has a 250gb HDD about a $200 value and MW2 $70 and an extra controller $30. Those 3 are the same value as the Slim so an Elite with MW2, 250gb HDD, two wireless controllers, full backwards compat and access to Live and Netflix at $399 is a hell of alot sexier.

Not surprised at the assumption. It dropped out of the top ten at Amazon.

a 100 $ for a paint job is a rip-off
im buying the console to play the games
not to stare at it

This day is fun.

They are physics huh?

you forgot that with the $50 Live fee you save you can buy Uncharted 2 (which is a real exclusive)
cheers

...buy the PS3 slim and COD:MW2 for $360, and realize they have no need for a whopping 250GB.

Besides, with LIVE, it would be $450.

Wxer...you would've bought a Wii then if looks didn't matter.

Also the bundle is a lot more than just paint. I don't need to waste space listing what's in it, I just need to say that it's awesome. And yes it will boost sales VERY much.

Wait, what? " full backwards compat"?

Huh? Not only is Xbox 360 not "full backwards compat", there aren't nearly as many Xbox 1 titles worth buying among the 50% or so compatible titles. Hell, the PS1 library is MUCH better than the Xbox library, and PS3 has "full backwards compat" with PS1. I can get a 250GB for MUCH CHEAPER than $200, and you can exchange that $120 gig HDD so that it ends up even cheaper. Since when did COD:MW2 cost $70 anyway? Stop trying to pass lies under the radar.

If anyone wants "full backwards compat" with the PS3, they'll go to e-Bay and get a 60 Gig (and why would anyone want "full BC" with the first Xbox anyway? The few titles it has are more than enough considering how mediocre the first Xbox's library was). It's not like BC will never return anyway.

"and access to Live and Netflix at $399 is a hell of alot sexier. "

Nice stealth edit right there. Anyway, PS3 has its own rental service and has thousands of films, so Netflix is unnecessary, and Blu-ray >>>>> Netflix quality. BTW, access to Live isn't free so you better add a $50 yearly fee for the amount of years you plan to use your 360 (until you get tired of RROD I'm guessing).

Why? because almost everyone here already has one or both consoles. For people who plan on buying stuff with their elite this bundle could be good for them.

Its funny how many people talk trash about vg charts and then talk about amazon sales like either one matters. If you compare this bundle to the slim its kinda funny as the bundle isnt out for 2 months and the slim is out now. Any of these bundle sales wont be reflected in sales till NOV 10th so whats the point? Amazon is not really a good indicator of sales, not to mention that there are multiple 360 SKUs and no one knows what the difference between sales spots 1,2,3 etc.. is.

The way I see it is taht both the ps3 and the 360 are looking to have a good holiday, especially considering the wii is starting to sell less and less.

I think this site needs more news about games, and less news about the consoles. Especially all this prediction/competition stuff. Everything is being turned into a competition between the consoles even though neither one is going anywhere. These articles are useless as everytime we get one saying this, anothor one is written that says that.

Iv been wondering for a while now why most the news here is from blogs and noname sites. Im pretty sure people here create a blog and then contribute their stories. If you read the comments here you can see why that would be a bad thing no matter what company's azz you kiss.

For the most part, don't people who want the game already have either console?

The bundle is definitely worth the 400 bucks.

$300 console, extra controller, $60 game, 250gb, and limited edition MW2 faceplate.

If ur planning on buying a 360 with Modern Warfare 2, then why wouldn't u buy this version. The problem is that people don't like seeing a 400 dollar price tag on a console anymore even though its worth it. However, when the PS3 was 400 bucks it sold pretty well. If anythg, its meant more to make people thk that the 360 version is best version for the simple fact that Sony isn't putting its name around it.

Alright...pay me 150each and I will happy to supply you 2000000000000000 of them.......

well $50 usd cheaper EACH for you should be a good deal too right

...opps..

Except the Xbox 250GB Elite MW2 bundle shot to the top.

For those who dont have a console yet, a 250GB Elite, 2 controllers and MW2 for $400 is a *AWESOME* deal.

i guess you forgot the extra controller! and the cost of that upgraded HD so its more than $360.

also anybody with half a brain could make this cheaper than MS!!!
arcade 200
extra controller 38 or 55 with p/c kit
game 60
250gb 100 bucks or less
400 or less total
so your looking about the same but you'll have to add your own paint

main extra cost will be the HD

Actually some people are forgetting something.

Those people who's going to buy the MW2 bundle will be hit with something. "Oh what the? I need to buy a wi-fi adapter and pay $50 to go online?"

report is kind of garbage, i just yesterday wanted to reserve one, and every gamestop and best buy in the region is already sold out of reserves, the story i got was they are only allowed so many reserves per store but my region covers 4 states so i know that much. i'm thinking it actually is gonna help sales some, maybe not record breaking numbers but c'mon its a limited edition, its just like RE5 consoles they sold out of them but they didn't break records.
