There’s two new Xbox 360 bundles that you ought to be made aware of. One, which was announced a few days ago (we’re sorta short staffed this week), is the Modern Warfare 2 bundle. It includes a MW2 branded Xbox, a 250GB hard drive (ooh!), and two wireless controllers. Oh, and a copy of the game. Total price: $399.
Then you’ve got a Forza 3 bundle. It, too, has a 250GB hard drive, two wireless controllers, a copy of the game. The Forza 360 doesn’t have any special branding; it’s a plain ol’ Xbox.
Dates: Look for the MW2 bundle on November 10, and the Forza 3 bundle on October 23. Please note that the Forza bundle has only been announced for Europe thus far, which makes sense considering it’s the birthplace of motor sport.
Also, any play the Forza games? I’m a huge proponent of the GRID/DIRT series, but I’m not gonna shell out $60 for some so-so game. I already did that last month!
Uh, you sure you don’t have that mixed up? GRID/DIRT are the so-so games…Forza is the real deal.
I’d say he’s got it right. :-) But it really boils down to simulation vs. arcade racing. I prefer the latter.
And for the record, GRID is one of my favorite racing games in a while.
Yeah, I bought GRID sorta randomly one day and was very impressed. The presentation alone is outstanding. It’s simulation enough for me, it’s not like it San Francisco Rush or anything!
Yeah, GRID seems to find that perfect mix between arcade, with just the a touch of simulation.
I hear the new NFS: Shift is very similar to GRID in that regard. Can’t wait until there a demo on LIVE.
Forza is as real as it gets… but that really isn’t that much fun haha
