New Xbox bundle

**joshm74** · 9th October 2002

Just saw over at Eurogamer that M$ are gonna bundle two Sega games with the Xbox during the run up to Xmas for free! The games are JSRF and GT 2002.

This is getting better and better!

Will be interesting to see if Sony/Nintendo respond with something similar.

That probably means the possible cut to £99 is off then!

maybe they will do the game bundle AND the £99 one,

Problem is, by then they will be the new version xbox, unless the shops got a load of old stock!

yep thats true m8, might be hard to find a shop with old stock but you never know they may have it cracked by then.

i think the likes of smaller blockbuster shops will have old stock, as they prob dont sell as many as say the likes of argos, dixons and places like that

shitters, heard they're doing it over here, I just bought my xbox last week, plus head onto xbox-scene, looks like it's just a matter of different bios, v2 is still good modding ladies

It is def. gonna happen, but no news at distribution yet on price or availability date.

Very much doubt £99 is gonna happen.

But if they are offerin the bundle for £150 then there must be a set price for ppl who want just the console? therefore, £99 would be the perfect price and most ppl would probably still buy the bundle anyway....

Doesn't quite work like that does it!!!

If you bundle games with a console you do it to add value to it. Games cost a $1 or so to manufacture so it adds very little to the actual build cost of the console yet adds masses of perceived value to the end user who buys the console because they think they are getting the console and two games for the price of console.

they think they are getting the console and two games for the price of console.

isnt that exactly what they ARE getting tho m8, if they paying £160 for the console anyway and getting 2 games thrown in

they are doing them now in dixons for £158 with max payne and conflict desert storm
