1.3 - Yeah this is a great deal.
Even though I'm personally not too excited about MF2, I know a lot of people are and this is a great deal for new buyers and people looking for an other console as well.

All together a great move by MS and Activision.

It really is a great deal. Same price as buying a regular elite, 2nd controller, and regular edition of MW2 - but with this you get 250gb instead of 120gb and an MW2 decorated console.

MS is really in a great position. They have their own system-selling exclusives like Halo and Gears, and now a multi-platform game (and the year's biggest game) will be a bigger system seller for MS than it will be for the competition.

WOW this is amazing! 250GB HDD now? Freakin nice....dont really care about anything else since I already own a 360 though. But nice to know 250GB HDDs are coming. I'm buying one for sure.

But this bundle will definitely push some units this year. Getting all that for only 399.99? Getting a full on new game alone is good enough reason but a 250GB, 2 wireless controllers, a headset is some good stuff.

I might pick me up a 360 now. Although I already have the regular edition pre-ordered from GS and the Hardened at Amazon for the PS3 and then there is paying for live...decisions, decisions...

LOL just seen the announcement on XBL. Came here right after to see if the story reached 1000 degrees.

Nice looking console(silver with all kinds of graphics).

I thought I was hearing things, when Major Nelson said 250 I thought it was the norm for a sec! and then I checked my 120gig HDD lol.

1.10 - Im skeptical...
I think everyone is too optimistic about this announcement. Say what you will, but bundling a multiplatform sequel from the same game generation is not going to push that many console units. Everyone who is buying MW2 already owns a console. Everyone who is new to Xbox hasnt even played MW1. So how would this increase console sales?

1.11 - Let me get this straight...
PS3 is $399, Activision gets all pissy and makes an empty threat to stop support.

360 is $399 but includes an Activision game, everything is copacetic?

F*cking hypocrite.

1.14 - *sighs*
That wasn't a 360 vs. PS3 comment, but I should have guessed it'd be taken that way. This IS N4G, after all.

I'll explain it again without using exact terms.

Kotick got pissed about a $399 console because it was too expensive. Now there's a $399 system, but it includes an Activision game, so Kotick has no issue.

That better?

2 - AWESOME!!!
this was a huge surprise for me! i expected Forza 3 to be the first bundle confirmed. but now to be critical... with a game that supports online so extensively and doesnt have to much split screen support... iw wouldve included the system, 1 controller,the game, wireless adapter, and 3 month free live card. either way this is cool and itll be interesting to see sonys response or just how well this thing sells.

Sony's response was rumored since before this was announced: a PS3 Slim 250GB. It'll even the odds.

that it was going to be, what seems like a custom made Modern Warfare 360, I would have held out on buying a Slim. But then again I need to see pics.

Wow.If you were going to buy a Elite and MW2 anyway,thats a good deal.With the extra controller,its like getting a free HD upgrade.

With all the online movie pushing MS is doing, they need to put that 250gb on the Elite pronto IMO.

ape007 - 105 days 12 hours ago
10.1 - agreed 100%
elite is $299

for 100$,100$ only u get mw2+extra 130 gb+1 extra controller

this will ATTRACT new 360 buyers,especially since mw2 is so damn popular

14 - Nice deal....
But I don't care what you are selling this Christmas, $400 ($450 with Live) wont fly with most people, not with a $299 PS3 and a $199 Wii on the market.
Instead of the second controller they should have put in a wireless network adapter, but this SKU will be a hard sell believe it or not.

If little Timmys friends have a 360, hes likely to get one too.If little Timmy wants MW2, hes even more likely to get this.
Tack on a extra controller and the game with that PS3 and your looking at basically the same money.
But then you dont get some cool stickers and have a smaller HD.
But you do gain Bluray.....

Anyway..I dont think they will have problems finding buyers for this.

14.3 - I guess you just don't understand....
If there is actually a more dedicated group of gamers than Halo players... it's Modern Warfare fans!

I know of 3 people who are using a week's worth of vacation days to play this game when it comes out. All of them have preordered the Prestige Edition and believe me, they will all go out and get these limited editions.

zoks310 - 105 days 13 hours ago
14.4 - I stand by my opnion.....
This will not sell at $400, not a chance in hell, and the skin is not that great, all it really is a big 2 on the front and some white strikes on the sides, whats so great about this. An Elite or PS3 at $299 + $49.99 for an extra controller, + MW2 ($59.99) will cost you the same as this bundle -$5 or $10.

I say skip this, and if you want to show your love for all things COD:MW2 then go out and buy a regular Elite/PS3 and pick up the Harden or Prestige Edition of the game, I guarantee that you will be more satisfied...

Disagrees are welcomed......

14.5 - Nice deal but
If you don't have a next gen system then odds are you haven't played the first MW. If you haven't played the first MW then how excited are you going to get for part 2? At least when MS made the RE5 LE system that was Resident Evil and pretty much everybody (new customers alike) has heard of the name. Basically I see this selling just to the hardcore MW 360 players already out there (the type of guy who pre-ordered the Prestige Edition the day it was announced), but not to new customers. If they make 500,000 I'll go as far as to say 400,000 are going to be repeat 360 buyers.

Zoks310...I respect your opinion Sir. One thing I dont understand is why $400 "suddenly" became some astronomical barrier no one would DARE pay for a system,game,etc.
3 WHOLE WEEKS AGO, what did a Elite or a PS3 cost?
Lets throw an extra controller on that number and a 60 dollar new release...oh yeah, and the extra HD space.
