Microsoft to Include Free Games With Xbox 360

[zekrahminator]

While manufacturing costs are cheaper than ever for Microsoft now that they are building them with the 65nm "Falcon" processor, there is no price cut in sight. Instead of detracting, Microsoft will be adding a few games for the avid gamer, gratis. A leaked Best Buy flyer revealed that we may soon be seeing the full versions of Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance with the Xbox 360 Platinum and Elite. This will probably boost holiday sales of the Xbox 360, considering most parents hate to buy a console for their children when the package does not even include any games for them to play.

Is that all? We do Forza, Tiger Woods 08 and Harry Potter for £279.99 (which by the way is the same price as the normal XBox full system).

Are those three games included with the console, or is that the price for those three games?

Halo 3 should come with it......

 

[Chewy]

halo 3 has to break record sales . They want the monies.. that games to much a hot seller :O

 

[jocksteeluk]

it doesnt matter how many records Halo breaks or how many sequels the churn out because they will never beat the greatness of GoldenEye, as for the free games M$ may had as well just give a $20 discount.

 

[bassmasta]

halo 3 isn't that good anyway

Okay, if we're ignoring the topic anyway:

Halo 3 ftw!

Oh, man. Your comment bring flashbacks. Goldeneye is the best FPS in the history of FPS's.

You seriously need to give goldeneye a break and speak some relevance mister

We all know Goldeneye was great but seriously you have said it in quite a few threads recently.

Isnt that what we call trolling?shadedshu:shadedshu

BTW im surprised that Perfect Dark Zero wasn't included with this, from what I understand it was a great game (granted for an unfinished version that is but still)

Hey, Im just glad these console makers are putting a game back in the boxes again. ITs kind of hard to digest spending 500 bucks for a console and hardware and turn around and spend 60 bucks a pop for software. At least one game should come in the box (this goes for PS3) and an extra controller.
