Thanks to Emanuel, an intrepid tipster who went above and beyond the call of duty, we managed to get a full unboxing of the Xbox 360 Arcade before Microsoft has even been able to send out a press release about the thing. Whenever the console officially lands, you can expect to pick up the hard drive free console for $279.99, which includes a 256MB Memory Card, a Wireless controller, an HDMI port minus the cable, and a disc that includes copies of Xbox LIVE Arcade games Boom Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, Pac-Man Championship Demo, and Uno. Check out the full gallery below.
On Monday, Microsoft officially announced that it was bundling the two higher-end models of the Xbox 360, the $349 Pro and $449 Elite, with two free games--Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and Forza Motorsport 2. However, the company made no mention of the lowest-end model of the $279 Core Xbox 360, which has been dogged by discontinuation rumors for weeks.
Now comes further evidence that the Core's days are indeed numbered. Photos obtained by GameSpot show that retailers are already erecting displays touting the Core's long-rumored replacement, the Xbox 360 Arcade SKU. As previously speculated, the display shows the console will come bundled with a wireless controller, a 256MB memory card, and five arcade games. Microsoft declined to offer comment on the photo of the console.
Two items of information are not revealed by the standee. First is the system's price, which is purported to be the same $279 cost as the Core. Also missing is the list of the arcade games bundled with the system, presumably included to counter the best-selling $249 Wii console/Wii Sports combo. Though various configurations have been discussed, the most commonly mentioned lineup is Boom-Boom Rocket, Uno, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, and Pac-Man.
Best Buy's online store is now listing two bundles that are "coming soon" and include Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. There is an Elite and Premium version. (Thanks, Next-Gen.biz)
Grab your straw hat and plow, we're going to the rumor mill. This time, it's about a new Xbox 360 bundle that will include 2 games!
The games are supposedly Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. These bundles might be available as soon as October 9th. This could be further evidence that Sony is planning on launching a $400 PS3.
No price-drops are expected, but the Core SKU could be getting an HDMI & wireless controller upgrade along with a 5-pack of XBLA games (Boom Rocket, Pac-man, Uno, Feeding Frenzy, and Luxor 2).
So if you didn't get your 360 during the madness of Halo 3, now's your chance.
