A very nice bundle for a very nice price
I bought a couple 360 bundles this year. Why? Well, the Halo4 bundle was something I really couldnt pass up and have it set up in a Vanguard portable rig, a couple were gifts, but this one here is the console I set up next to my PS3 in my living room. The 250 gig drive is big enough to contain my collection of games with plenty of room to spare. The inclusion of Forza 4 and the Skyrim download was pretty sweet, the extra 4 months of Live Gold was cool (3 for the promotion plus 1 already in the box), the controller is the standard issue of course as is the carppy headset, lol (replace the headset....they are flimsy and wont last long). My only gripe is probably the same as everybody elses....no HDMI cable included. That seems like a poor oversight for a relatively cheap and fairly essential piece (at least if you plan to get the most out of your xbox...without it, you'll be running at like 480p). You also get a handful of Arcade game codes (which are basically glorified demos)...
Xbox 250 GB bundle
Great! it arrived a day earlier than stated on the tracking page. intead of the four months it says we are supposed to get of live mine got five. this was a great deal!
Extras Handled very poorly
So these Holiday Bundles are available at best buy, walmart, and probably most stores that sell xbox's.
I chose to buy from Amazon, because of the "extras", and of course 2 days later no signs of any extras.
Now from reading other reviews and comments, I see I am not the only one....
When you open the amazon box, there should be 5 codes for download of arcade games, 1 code for 3 months of xbox live, go to your account and a $10 video credit should be there
Where is the difficulty in that??
Now I am a big fan of amazon, but in the case of another "bundle" with extras, i'll forgo the extras and just buy it locally.
Very poorly handled Amazon
Xbox itself 5 stars
Skyrim 5 Stars
Forza not interested
Rating for Amazon on this one 2 stars
