All New Xbox 360s Bundled with Table Tennis

The new Xbox 360 shipments are coming in for next week's super-ultra-secret price drop weekend. And what we originally thought was just a deal of purchasing an Xbox 360 and getting Table Tennis for free at Circuit City appears to be a little bit deeper. Turns out the game is actually bundled in the packaging and not just an add on.

With success of Nintendo with bundling Wii Sports with Wii, now MS and Sony are doing it with MotorStorm (80Gb) and Top Spin / Table Tennis.

I agree Wii created the console bundle again. And sony and ms have to follow.
But Table Tennis VS Motorstorm isnt much of a match. With pricecut though... heck its fine hehe

Next Sony/MS will be adding Wii Motes to the systems. (which would be cool honestly. I could care less if they copy, that Wii wand is great for sitting on the couch and surfing the web.)

Nobady's saying that.
Wii brought back the bundles but did not invent it. (I believe the first bundle was Odyssey which the console was the whole game!)

1.4 - Works out to be a $70 Price cut for the Premium

with R* Table Tennis added. Not a bad deal. Casual gamers will be into it maybe, if not, you can trade it in for about $12 credit at a EB Games or GameStop. Getting any game is better then nothing.

3 - Very smart decision

Not only do you get a price cut, but you get a game out of the box. One that can satisfy hardcores and casuals alike. Very smart choice. Now they just need to put a memory unit into the Core and they'll be seeing significant results.

table tennis is a cool game, helped in many a drunken night with friends. It's a good move if a free 'casual' game becomes standard with consoles now instead of 'special edition' games, just like how Master System 2 came with Alex the Kidd (yeh i know it was built in to the console but it was a good game) and Altered Beast and Columns came with the Mega Drive.

If it comes with the Core too, it's a good move, and you really cant complain about a free game.

7.1 - I agree.

Not to say that Table Tennis is a bad game, but they should've packaged something more appealing to the masses, especially considering how drastic 360 sales have been falling. Then again, I'm sure there was some financial deal between them and Rockstar for this package.

Its an 18+ game. Table Tennis is for EVERYONE, appealing to the harcore and non alike. That is MS's plan all along remember?

that's a good point

Table tennis is not really sweeting the deal to begin with. It'll probably be a 50$ drop across the board if their including a game.

Nintendo bundled Wii Sports because it was a game that fully show Wii's motion-sensetive features.
MotorStorm for PS3 is good for showing its graphical power. The same goes for Table Tennis and 360 (TT has superb character animations and models). Hoefully this mean the full resurrection of bundled games.

12 - Really?.

I never thought the free game was a inhouse store add on.

Go figure.

(((Only "A" DJ! would try and twist or downplay any move by MS. Well at least #3 used some common sense in his post.

I think its a cool move; let the parents etc choose to let their 8 year old kids play games wher you stomp peoples heads into paste not very wise to bundle XBOX with Very Mature games as holliday bundles MS strongly enforces Parental control wouldn't make sense.

#8 "trying to show love to RockStar", PS3 is more than likely the problem as its fucin hell to get games running on it with any complexity. All PS3 games seem to simple in nature, Anything more complex like Madden and some of the shooters do not run well. How U like dat fanboy jibberish.

it's not just going to be Table Tennis, my store , Best Buy, is selling our bundles with Top Spin 2. and last year, for the misimformed, Microsoft had their premiums bundled with Madden 07 for the holidays. so no, the wii didnt "bring back" the bundle.. they bundle wii sports because they know if they didnt, then the consumer would be paying too much for that console.

Table Tennis? That's like a 15 dollar game now. They should have bundled it with something like... family friendly Viva Pinata or something. Well I guess a free game is a free game, can't complain too much. Table Tennis is pretty fun actually.

A bundled rockstar game. And a $50 million deal with rockstar for exclusive GTA content. Coincidence or same deal with perks. Nice!!!

Seems like rockstar and Ms`s relationship is more intimate than anyone expected. I think this is microsoft`s way of helping rockstar with their growing pile of chaos.

Apocalypse Shadow - 886 days 23 hours ago

19 - it's no different than having

sega gt and jet set radio future bundled with xbox.but microsoft doesn't own sega even when they tried.forza1 was bundled after it bombed and dropped to 19.99 because it wasn't GT4.obvious deal with rockstar.

if the characters looked more like viva pinata characters and would have came out at launch,then i would have said it woul appeal towards the casuals.

but now ,no one is going to care.it would be an instant trade in after the person buys a 360.this will not bring in the casual market.nintendo already cornered this market with wii tennis.

........mag lev super train.......

21 - I think it's a great idea...

Table Tennis is a game everyone can enjoy. It's a blast to play, and you don't have to pay anything over the price of the console to be able to enjoy a game immediately. I thought it was a big mistake by MS and Sony to move away from bundling a game. How sweet was it back in the day to get your NES and have Mario ready to play right out of the box? Nintendo continued that tradition this gen with Wii Sports. It's good MS and Sony are following suit.
