Please help us out, share this article
XBW has received word that a special Xbox 360 console bundle including Grand Theft Auto IV will hit store shelves soon.
And a kind anonymous benefactor from the intertubes has sent word about what we can expect to see included.
Apparantly the bundle includes the Xbox 360 Arcade Console, a copy of Halo 3 and also a copy of "the recently gone gold and is on its way to stores right this very second" game that everyone is counting down the days until, Grand Theft Auto IV.
A GTA bundle wouldn't be much good without the game I suppose..
The Xbox 360 Arcade bundle includes the console, a wireless controller, a 256mb memory card, 5 Xbox Live Arcade games and a standard video cable.
The GTA IV bundle, including Halo 3 and everything just mentioned will apparantly have a RRP of $499.95 which seems pretty reasonable value. Not mind blowingly amazing, but pretty reasonable...
Before you start thinking "Oh I bet I can get another 20 bucks or so off that" guess again, apparantly (according to the info we received) the markup on this special for each retailer that offers it at the RRP is a staggering $20 or so.. Who says Aussie retailers try to price gouge us?
Oh that's right, we usually do :p
If you see confirmation of this in any brochure advertising, be sure to scan and send us a copy or post it in our Members Forum! Shane...
**UPDATE @ 3:40pm**
It seems this deal is legitimate as DStore.com.au have a "Pro Console" version of this deal listed on their website for $679.95.
The deal is pretty similar, basically for an extra $100 regardless of which console you choose, you're getting two games.. Halo 3 and Grand Theft Auto IV.
That's not too bad, but a nice GTA themed box would look nicer on shelves, and in catalogues and give that Sony console a bit of what for! :p

(oh and in no way is this a referral for Dstore... buy the damned thing wherever you like, I merely used them as an example) :-)
