No you need a gold account to play online games on the 360. You get a 1 month trial inside the box when you buy one though

4 - This may be cheaper then the US price with all the stuff that is bundled.
I wonder why MS refuses to drop the price in the US. I mean its been 2.5 years and its only dropped $20 for the Core and $50 for the Pro. Its like they are trying to shoot themselves in the foot.

4.1 - It makes financial sense.
They haven't dropped the price in North America yet because they still have market supremacy here. As soon as the PS3 comes close to passing the 360 in market saturation they'll drop the price. It doesn't make sense for them to sell the console for less than they need to if it's selling well.
Everywhere in Europe excepting the UK the Xbox isn't doing so well so it would make sense for them to try to make the console look more attractive with a lower price tag. The same goes for Japan.

Like leathersoup said, the 360 isn't doing too well in Europe and MS and becoming ever more desperate for their sales to increase.

Lol. Quit spinning - you know what we mean by "live"

That's PLAY ONLINE.

Edit @ Below: How am I trolling ... it's a fact: you have to pay to play online. Even if you get a month free.

Did you only play online for one month?

You get a FREE month of Live Gold when you make a new account and you can store your profile and games saves on the 512MB memory card. So again it will cost you NOTHING extra to go online and PLAY.

So many trolls so little time...

EDIT: @Below yes, but ONE month is more than enough to show HOW LIVE IS MUCH BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE OUT THERE ON THE OTHER SYSTEMS thus making it worth the WHOLE $4 a month.

Yeah for one month... but who owns a console for one month? Not trolling just pointing out that free for one month isn't free.

6.6 - First off
Who the hell said you had to play it online. Perhaps the person that is interested in this bundle have no plans to play online. It's simple if you plan on playing online, do the math and decide which version to buy.

Stop tryin to rain on the bundle's parade with you negative hating attitudes. For what you get in this bundle that is a great deal. I have friends that bought the pro bundle that don't even play online. People will make the choices that best suits them so stop hating.

Especially with Halo 3 and PGR4, two of the greatest games this generation has to offer. Too bad there's the lack of harddrive, though.

With the games and the two wireless controllers thats a sweet deal!

I don't know if its going to be enough to trun the tide in this region though, as the 'arcade pack' has been selling here for less than that and didn't seem to stimulate sales much.

One thing is for sure, if you were sitting on the fence and waiting for a time to 'dive in' its never been better value for money - especially for the significant number of people who have no intention of going on line, and therefor don't really car about hard disc's or any live payments. there are a lot of people in that position..

Does the core unit have an HD??? It's a serious question by the way, not a flame thing.

There isn't one, they give you the memory card instead. It is why the bundle is so cheap.
