Microsoft is sending a special Gears of War Xbox 360 bundle (depicted above) to our friends in Australia. Included in the bundle are copies of the original Gears of War and Gears of War 2. Sadly, the console itself isn't as special as the box it comes in, for it's of the plain white Pro variety.
The new bundle will hit Aussie store shelves on June 4 and retail for $449 AU.
[Thanks, Josh]

LOL! Gears of Awesome! I would buy one of these special bundles if the console itself had a special case. A black elite with Crimson Omen on the power button would be simple and ever so rad.

Same one sold in the UK it seems. IMO the RE5 red xbox would be excellent here imo.

i think that's wishful thinking bud. you might be able to get an Arcade for that much pretty soon but a bundle like this is going to cost ya since it comes with a Pro and 2 games. it'd be nice though.

Is that true? If 360 goes down to $149.99 I will buy one.

being perfectly honest, if GOW2 didn't piss you off i'm going to have to question your sanity. the multiplayer is beyond fixing (see: no more melee out of roadie run, what!?). the ranking systems been hijacked a few times resetting all of my hard earned 3 bar rankings. they have been coming out with new map packs faster than the swine flu is spreading AND they are releasing a new map pack with ALL the maps for 20 bucks!? that doesn't make ANY of you just a little ticked off?
i'm not saying i like infamous, it sucks. but gears was a let down. fo sho.

Just ignor Jakko,
his comments are made up of "first" and "If you don't have a PS3, you're not a gamer. Simple as that.", "America and obesity? Who would have thought these two were somehow related. They should release a game that tackles stupidity too. USA would be full of win then." as well as "Awwww... poor, poor xbox owners can't take the fact that this game will own ANY game that comes out for the 360 from now on until the end of this generation. Uncharted kills anything on that console visually but U2 will just confirm that nothing can compare to the raw power of the PS3. E3 will kill the 360 once and for all, trust me :)"
Obviously this kid thiks that by spewing crap, it makes him cooler. he also probably insults black people online, uses the word gay in a derogatory way, and tries to pick up chicks in ps3 home. hes a bitch, trust me.

@Bigfat: Don't quote metacritic scores, you look like an idiot.
@jakko: What are you gaining by bashing the 360? It's not like Sony is gonna send you a free game, you just look like a loser.
I honestly thought people were over this whole fanboyism thing...

@bigfat: That's not what I meant. I should have said don't quote critic scores between two completely different genres, it's just an unfair comparison, because you can't compare them. Besides, there's like what, a 6 point difference. If you can honestly give me a legit reason a 6 point difference matters, I will congratulate you.

Even as a Sony fanboy, I can honestly say I want that fucking bundle. Gears is awesome.

MS should make an xbox bundle that has, an xbox 360 with master shake on the side that looks like it was a spray painted on, 4 controllers,a wireless headset, 120 GB HDD, The orange box, and Halo 3. That bundle would pwn except I already have all that stuff. BTW where the hell is that so called "massive" orange box update for 360?
