Halo, Madden and 2 TB bundles are not available through Amazon. The only bundles available are the overpriced Gears bundle and Minecraft bundle.
Minecraft bundle not appearing in the top 100 is a concern, but the drop for the rest of the bundles is explained.

You get a $100 version of the game, LE console DLC, the stand, and a $349 Custom/2TB console. It's not overpriced.

I'mean sorry. What I meant is that it is $150 more expensive than the cheapest options. It is as you said previously, prime bundle. It won't achieve big numbers.

Yes, overpriced is not the correct word to use, but you have to excuse my limited English.

Did anyone really expect a minecraft bundle to dominate sales charts? It's one of the strangest bundles I've seen in awhile.

I don'the expect it to be a big seller on Amazon. But it should be pushed by the fact it is ,almost, the only available bundle on Amazon.

Maybe it is aimed for parents who goes to Toys R Us, Wallmart, Target or any other stores to buy a console for their children.

It costs a fair bit more than the cheaper options but it's actually great value for Gears fans which it is aimed at you get:

- $399 console + Vertical stand with an amazing look :D

- $100 Ultimate Edition game

- A custom controller thats worth $25more than the standard Black/White variants

- Around $50 total (I think) including the $20 Airdrop pack + Exclusive skins and even more card packs

If you were to get everything seperate your looking at around $575 value for $449.

They should of made the standard Gears 4 bundle a 500GB $299 bundle rather than it's current $349 1TB bundle same goes for the madden bundlle, $50 less would surely make more people click buy whilst offering the bigger 2TB for those after more of a premium package, imo 1TB middle of the road bundles just don't have a place at the moment.
