Rumor: Images Reveal Xbox 360 Holiday Bundles
Is Microsoft plotting pack-ins and slogans this fall?
By Andrew Hayward, 08/13/2007
Microsoft may be planning to unleash pack-in bundles for the Premium and Elite Xbox 360 consoles this holiday season, if the below images are to be believed. Kotaku scooped the shots off of a marketing server used by Microsoft, and as seen in the images, each bundle contains Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, as well as a simple new slogan ("Go Pro" for Premium, "Go Big" for Elite). According to Kotaku, the Elite image was listed as the "Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Value Bundle."
Pricing, dates, and details are all speculative at this point, and with the current Xbox 360 price drop taking effect just last week, it seems unlikely that Microsoft will confirm any such details this early in the season. Microsoft employed similar tactics for the original Xbox, packing in double-game discs of Tetris Worlds/Star Wars: The Clone Wars and NCAA Football 2005/Top Spin at various points in the Xbox life cycle.
