3 games for free when you buy the 360 elite holiday bundle which already brings 2 free games

Can you provide a link?

I search PS3 and the bundle is the first in the list.

I search Xbox 360 and just find the standard Elite, Arcade and the MW2 bundle.

I know you're skeptical about this claim, but it's true. I've seen it at Target and a couple other stores. I thought Best Buy also had a deal like that, but I'm not positive on that one. I don't have a link, but I can at least verify that leo-j isn't pulling things out of thin air.

I am talking about some 360 Bundle that Amazon supposedly has available as part of the Black Friday deals.  I still cant find it.

If you go to the Xbox 360 Elite product page http://bit.ly/5ym33P you see links to available Amazon bundles and no Black Friday deal.

If you go to the PS3 120GB product page http://bit.ly/6BT3Ri you see links to available Amazon bundles and there is a Black Friday deal.

 

OK now I think I know what people are referring to. Currently the standard Elite Holiday Bundle (no special deal for Black Friday) is #81 on Video Game best sellers list).  First off this isnt any special bundle and if your buying today you better get a special deal.  Secondly the Arcade is like #41 and the MW2 bundle is like #63.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

The LBP/R&C PS3 bundle is still available at some Bestbuy stores so it is not completely sold out. (Just used the find a store option and multiple stores came up with stock.) I saw a few of all consoles still available at various stores while I was out today.

I also never noticed any special bundle for the 360 on Amazon. Nothing turns up on a search or on the best seller list. I don't believe there was an official bundle with 3 additional games for the 360 elite holiday bundle (which included 2 games already). I have not seen anything official, a few stores made have put together their own bundles.



heres the big question


How many did sony ship.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Darth, it's normal for limited or special bundled to sellout because these stores made sure they didn't have enough anyway.

Big winners will be : DS, Wii, NSWB Wii, Left4dead 2, MWF2.

PS3 AND 360 Will be almost equal.

Yeah, you gotta figure that the Black Friday bundle should sell out... seeing as it's supposed to be black friday only.

If it didn't sell out that would be bad news....

I wonder if Wii will be a big winner though... did it even have a black friday bundle?



I did my part in picking up the LBP and Ratchet bundle. No more using my brother in-law's.



is there a chance it outsold the 360 in NA ? maybe even the wii :P



Atto Suggests...:

Radio Shack - Xbox 360 Elite and get $60 back

I suppose the PS3 will sell better at Amazon than the 360. I suppose the 360 will sell better at Kmart, Target, Radio Shack, and Toys R Us. Finally a toss up at the remainder of the retailers.
