Perhaps you should just get a cheap used 360 just for halo reach, play it love it, than sell it when your done and get your move bundle( who knows maybe it will be cheaper by then)

If there are no other 360 games you would want to play, I would only get this bundle if it REALLY means a lot to you. Realize the amount of money you're spending for one game, and only you can personally say if it is truly worth it to you. Live costs are also going up a little bit, so keep the cost of yearly Live subscriptions in mind when you calculate it all.
Is Halo Reach worth $400 for you for one year, and then extra live subscription prices thereafter?
I went from $445, your deal, plus one year of live which is about ~$50, minus the $100 from selling your last 360 and I ended up with around $400.
Is Halo Reach worth $400 to you? Or would you rather save that money and spend it on something else? Maybe not even Move, maybe you'd rather spend it on other things.
Give it some thought, and then answer the question for yourself. Is halo worth that much money for you? If yes, get it. If no, find out what you'd rather spend your money on.
Also, the reason I asked if you had any friends with a 360 is because you could simply go to their house to play Reach online. Yes, you would be rather limited in your online play, but it would be extremely cheap monetary wise.
EDIT: As the man above me said, you could simple get a cheap used 360 for this game. Look on Amazon and other sites to see what they're going for, it would be significantly cheaper than buying this bundle.

If there is a lot of 360 games your interested in go for the Reach 360.
If there is a lot of Move games your interested in Go for the Move PS3.

see the reason I'm considering the bundle (slim) is because I know I'm going to play it online for at least a year just like I did with Halo 3. But you make (or the person above you) a valid point. I can get a cheaper older version model and play the heck out of it. Do refurb 360s have a warranty?
I really don't want to spend so much money on this honestly, so if I can get it cheaper that would be awesome. I'm also kicking myself for selling my 360 at this point.
@seece
A friend? I think I have only one friend who'd be willing to lend me her 360 but her boyfriend is a dipshit ass. And I really don't like coming off as a moocher. Good suggestion but out of the question.

There's at least 4 games I want with Move. It's not just for Resident Evil 5

So Halo Reach will pretty much be the only game you want for the 360 (No Gears 3, Fable or anything?)
So on 1 hand if you enjoy firefight, and multiplayer then Halo Reach will most likely keep you entertained for at least 2 years (and who knows by then there might be a few more exclusives that you might want)
But if you tend to play games for only a couple months then retire it to play different games then getting the bundle probably isn't for you.
If it were me I would get it but i'm a Halo fanboy to the extreme.
But if you do decide to buy it don't get it at Gamestop since they add tax in with it. If you buy it at Amazon (which are still in stock) you can get it and get it in the mail the same day Halo Reach comes out for a grand total of $401 because the same day shipping (at least last time i checked) is 88 cents or something and the tax must be included.
Why not just get the Xbox Arcade with 4GB and Halo Reach. That's 260... instead 400. Especially if you're getting it for just one game.
I wouldn't get a used refurb... unless they have a good warranty... and even then I'd recommend against it Unless it is way cheaper.
I can't say which one to get. because I don't like halo that much though I'm going to rent it... and I don't plan I getting the move.


Its best to have all systems, best of both worlds.
If your only going to buy the 360 Reach bundle for Reach only than I dont think that really a smart move ( lol).
Just buy a 360 arcade for 200.00 bucks and pick up Reach. You will save lots of money and get the same experince for half the price.

That's probably the best way to go about it honestly. I just looked up the bundle on amazon: It comes with one controller, one month of live. I already have a handful of AA batteries and my PS3 ethernet cable.
I'll have to extend live eventually, and I see myself buying a headset because I like to trashtalk. The only thing I'm afraid of is future DLC. will 4GB hold up?

of course you should. Even if you have played enough of Reach you can be sure to sell the 360 at a great price.

Don't think so, but you can always use some USB flash drives.
