Rumor: Xbox 360 holiday bundles to include family friendly games [update]

Or would they not be, as an enticement to get rid of the old Falcons before the Jaspers actually hit? Who knows. it is such a game.

I was hoping that all the deals on the Pro and Elite we've been seeing lately were retailers trying to clear out their leftover Falcons in preparation for the holiday bundle.

@ Don
I guess last year when the Falcon hit in August, they then made the bundles with MUA and F2 and those xboxes were in fact the Falcon, not just MS clearing the previous models, so it is possible. Either way, the current xbox revision is much more reliable than the previous versions, so just go get one if you are in the market. Actually, wait, as Lego indy was quite fun. But if we keep waiting for the next revision, we would never end up with anything... Well, maybe a fatter wallet,

@DBoyFlex:
It's not even for me (I have a Falcon). I'm just trying to get friends to buy a 360, and Jasper does alot to quell RRoD fears.

Ah, that is true though. Just an FYI, if your friend or relative or whatever really has fears of it, you can go to Best Buy (if you are in the USofA) and get a product replacement plan. It lasts for 2 years and is about 50 bucks. If the xbox breaks (anything except you chucking it off a cliff--intentional stuff) they give you a whole new unit right off the shelf. I have that and have cashed in on it a few times. Saves the hassel of dealing with MS and you walk in with a broke unit, show it to them, walk out with a new unit. Actually, I paid 350 for mine, then the price dropped, and I had to exchange it and I also was refunded the 50 dollar difference in price since the MSRP dropped. Kinda nice. That is my piece of mind, at least. If you are outside the US, things may be different. I had a few friends buy from BB and get the warranty and have had no problems at all, but the warranty did help quiet their anxiety about getting the RRoD, amongst other things. Just thought you might like to know.

Odd. whenever I go, they say they cover anything except intentional damage, even the RRoD. All you have to do is prove it (seriously, you go to Geek Squad and they hook it up and have to replicate the problem). Once you do, they do a swap-a-roo. At least that is how it is in my area. They do seem to have varying store policy as I called various stores within the city and in different cities and they all say something different. Nice that you could just walk in and say it was messed up to get a new one, I actually have had to prove it. But with a problem, they would exchange any problem other than running over it with my car. Oh well. At least it is not hard to replicate problems on the 360, and it is even easier when you have a real problem.

Kung Fu Panda actually got good reviews from across the boards, from 7.5's to 8's. way better than many kids movie games. this and lego indy are perfect games to put in the bundle.

Sorry didn't see Sega Superstar Tennis. Don't know exactly about the 6 arcade games but they definetly go on sale starting the 10th.
