UK Retailer Unveils Price for Modern Warfare 3 Xbox 360

If you're in the market for a new Xbox 360, the Modern Warfare 3 bundle actually a pretty good investment.

UK retailer GAME has revealed the price for the Modern Warfare 3 [http://www.amazon.com/Call-Duty-Modern-Warfare-Xbox-360/dp/B00503E8S2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1315477951&sr=8-4] branded Xbox 360 bundle. The pack will cost £269.99 - which is around $415 - the same price as the similar Gears of War 3 bundle.

In exchange for their money, purchasers will receive a console, two wireless controllers, a wireless headset, and a regular copy of the game. The console comes with a 320GB hard drive, something you're unlikely to fill in a hurry, and the console, headset, and controllers sport Modern Warfare 3 livery and branding. Finally, there are codes for downloadable avatar items, and a free month of Xbox Live Gold access.

If you're looking to upgrade to the new Xbox 360 model, and you want Modern Warfare 3, this isn't actually a bad deal. While it's not the biggest saving in the world, it's cheaper than buying all the pieces separately. It's not quite as snazzy looking as the sleek, matte black model, but it's not terrible either.

You can pick up the Xbox 360 bundle on November 8th, the same day that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 comes out for PC, PS3, Wii, and - of course - Xbox 360.

As much as I am against themed console packs. That is actually a really good deal for the price.
I just wouldn't be able to live with myself if I bought the pack, hated the game and then was stuck with a themed controller and console!

In the terms of price that's a good deal but the colours of that Xbox and controllers look horrible to me, I wouldn't want to be stuck with that in my living room for the next few years. Point is moot of-course as I already own a 360.

And I encourage you to ALL buy them from the Tunbridge Wells branch.

actualy i feel the console does not look that bad, its pretty nice
just a shame of the "MW3" on it, whould look better withought
the controllers, get rid of the same mw3 and the dark bars...

Nice to see it's the same as the Gears 3 bundle, which I'm getting for Christmas xD. Mainly because I need a ton of HDD space and because I don't usually ask for anything.

Considering the game and 2 controllers would set you back about £100, this is a really good deal. Plus you can't buy a 320GB HDD as far as I'm aware. Plus the wireless headset which is £30, and the console which is usually £180, that's a saving of about £50, so slightly more than getting a free copy of the game.

Then again, I don' think it looks as good as the black one, and how many people out there who want MW3 don't already have and Xbox?

That's quite tempting to be brutally honest. My Xbox has got into the habit of burning disks so could do with a new one.

 

[Frizzle]

If I remember correctly, it also will play MW3 sound effects when you turn it on and eject your disk. I've been thinking about getting an 360, but I think one of these bundles would be the only way I'd do it. I really like the look of the Gears one, though.
