XBox 360 Bundles Top $700

Gamespot is reporting that, with some idea of the skus that will be available for the Xbox 360 when it launches, game retailers are now prepping incredibly expensive console bundles for the first of the next-gen systems. From the article: "...when hot new gaming systems come out, supply is short, and demand is often so high that retailers can elect to sell the units only as parts of bundles that include accessories and games of the retailer's choosing. EBgames.com unveiled its holiday offerings today, and the prices may make some gamers feel as though they're getting 'scrooged.' Like Microsoft, EB Games is offering two bundles, one for gamer's interested in the Core System and one for gamers eyeing the premium package. The Xbox 360 Core Bundle is priced at $599.93, and it includes everything in the standard package, plus an extra wired controller, a 64MB memory unit, and four games: Perfect Dark Zero: Limited Edition, Dead or Alive 4, Project Gotham Racing 3, and Kameo: Elements of Power. Using Microsoft's announced pricing for peripherals and an assumed $59.99 price point for Xbox 360 games, the package unbundled would come to $618.94. "

    To the girl complaining about generalization of women.. 1)Your not a normal women 2)You date other women 3)You play videogames 4)Therfore you are a very very small percent of women. If you look at the normal housewife, who has enough money to support there family and decorate there home (Hell..my mom does this and HATES wires..and decorates waaay too much). I know several other mothers that do this as well, along with other wives that just cant take wires. This is not a generalization of women, its a truth to most house moms and wives. Are you a wife? no, shut up.
