I talked about this a while ago(in a thread about the ps3 gta bundle) thread and what I read was that this bundle was coming to all of eu not just france.

It's the page that google has register. With google, you can see the exact page google has register (the cache (in french, it's "le cache")), or the actual page, which could have been modified since google has registered the page.

For the fact, the arcade sku must be the most popular of all in France, i see regulary all these links

And it's the arcade pack which seems to be the most actractive.

At amazon.fr, it's really the sku which sell the most, just before i write this post, they just sell another one.

Another problem:

As alapage.com, amazon.fr seems to have done the same thing:

Here the cache of google:

http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:5b_33JstFOoJ:www.amazon.fr/Console-Xbox-Project-Gotham-Racing/dp/B0017TXDRU+core+halo+3&hl=fr&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=fr

And now the actual page:

http://www.amazon.fr/Console-Xbox-Project-Gotham-Racing/dp/B0017TXDRU

So, for me, the sku must be cancelled.

Now, i will see what happened at micromania, surcouf and rue du commerce, to see if the sku will disappear or not.

Edit: if alapage.com and amazon.fr have delete the sku, it's not chance, it must be because the sku is cancelled. 

In Australia, there has been NO official movement on the 360 price - not happy :(

Its still $579 for a Pro + game (or two games?), or around $380 for the Arcade bundle.

200 Euros should be around $350 AU (when GST included). No purchase here until the price drops...

Oh wow, 200€ for a 360 + halo3 + pgr4. You gotta wonder what's MS doing wrong when a barebones 40gb is twice as much yet people prefer it.

Actually the 40GB PS3 is usually bundled with at least one game in Europe. I see R&C + Uncharted bundles all the time.

In any case, I don't think the Arcade is very successful, even if people want it they probably just change their mind right before buying it.

Euhm I don't know that someone already mentioned it but a Portugese website said the same.

Some interesting things about the 360 in France:

It's in french sorry:

Je vous annonce la sortie pour le mois de mai d'un nouveau bundle XBOX 360 :
Il comportera une Xbox core systeme, une manette sans fil, une manette filaire (ou deux sans fils), le jeu PGR4, le jeu Halo 3 ainsi qu'une carte memoire pour le prix de 199€.

A noter aussi qu'a partir du 29 avril jusqu'au 15 juin pour tout pack XBOX 360 acheté avec le jeu GTA 4, 60€ seront rembourser.
(comme d'habitude via les coupons)

A partir de mai, avec le bundle PGR4 Halo 3 cité plus haut, une offre de remboursement sur les accessoires XBOX 360 sera lancer.

- Pour l'achat d'un DD 120g, 50 euros rembourser
- Pour l'achat d'un adaptateur reseau 20 euros rembourser
- Pour l'achat d'un volant 360 20 euros rembourser.

Ce sont des informations que j'ai apprise hier, elles sont susceptibles de changer, d'etre modifié.
Je ne le pense pas, mais je prefere le dire au cas ou ^^.

Voila.

Bonne soirée

bye


It has been write the 16 april. So, the poster speak about the new core bundle in France.
More interesting, he says that if you buy a 360 with gta4 between 29 april and 15 june, you can be refounded 60 euro. He speak about another deals of refouding, which permit you to customize your super core into an elite.
He seems knowing his informations from good sources, but these informations could change, he says, even if, he think no.

But, for me, as i have said before, the new bundle seems to be cancelled, because amazon.fr, and alapage.com have delete her pages about him.
So, we must wait, because all this things are rumor, and can really change apparantly.
