Xbox Console and Kinect Bundle: The most popular Xbox 360 Slim bundle is undoubtedly the console and Kinect package (released November 4, 2010). This comes in a number of different prices depending on whether you choose a 250GB or 4GB hard drive size.
The main benefit of choosing this bundle is that you’ll only be paying $100 extra to get the Kinect motion control sensor. If you bought the Kinect package alone, you’d have to pay $150. The prices of the consoles alone vs. buying them as part of a bundle are:
* Xbox 250GB $299.99
* Xbox 250GB and Kinect bundle $399.99
* Xbox 4GB $199.99
* Xbox 4GB and Kinect bundle $299.99
So what’s included in the bundle? For a start, you’ll get the latest edition of the top-selling games console. The Slim version now includes a glossy finish and is much smaller than the original Xbox. You’ll also get the Kinect Sensor that plugs directly into the port of the Xbox 360 Slim, the Kinect Adventures Game (rated “E” for everyone), the Xbox Black Wireless Controller, Xbox 360 Headset, and the Xbox Composite A/V cable.
Xbox 360 Slim Bundle With Halo Reach: Next you can choose the Xbox 360 Halo Reach bundle (released September 14, 2010) which comes with an exclusively designed version of the new slimmer Xbox console, alongside a copy of the game and two controllers that match the design of the console.
The Halo Reach console design features original artwork that was inspired by the game, and is sold as part of a limited edition for true fans of the title. The game itself was designed exclusively for the Xbox console, and Halo: Reach is the prequel to the bestselling original Halo game.
The included console includes the biggest hard drive size available (250GB) and comes with a one month gold membership to Xbox LIVE.
Kinect Bundle: Lastly, you can purchase the Kinect sensor without also needing to buy the Xbox 360 console. The Kinect bundle simply includes the sensor bar alongside the family game “Kinect Adventures”. This will cost $150, which is more expensive than buying the Xbox 360 Slim bundle with Kinect included, but useful for those who already own the console.
As you can see, there are a number of Xbox 360 Slim bundle options designed to suit all needs and tastes in games. Whatever you choose will depend on whether you already own an Xbox. One thing’s for sure – the Kinect is sure to sell out fast!
