Ars mole: Splinter Cell: Conviction, Final Fantasy XIII getting 250GB Xbox 360 bundles

We're devoted fans of the Ars Technica mole, who has nailed big stories like the PS3 Slim and the Resident Evil 5 bundle. As a result, we feel pretty comfortable getting excited about two new Xbox 360 bundles Ars highlights today. The first, a Splinter Cell: Conviction-themed bundle, will reportedly include a not-in-any-way-branded system packing a 250GB hard drive, two black controllers and the game, all for $400. The other bundle will, according to Ars, have all the same specs except with Final Fantasy XIII and white controllers.

Considering the the mole's track record, we wouldn't be surprised to see an official announcement any day now.

Forgot to say that's the only thing that has held me back from a pre-order so far. I won't until I hear it official.

You know, I try to be as least biased as possible. But I still can't help but feel cheated...

Don't see why you wouldn't. Absolutely no bells or whistles or ANYTHING special on either bundle unless you are a first time Xbox 360 buyer.

The PS3 Final Fantasy Console is SOOO cool; I hope the xbox360 will follow suite with similar design so that one day I might get one, mostly because who needs two Ps3's?, not like its gonna ever break.

"not like its gonna ever break."

...Don't have too much faith there. I went 3 months without a PS3 because the blu-Ray lens went out.

The same happened to me, Ryuk :(
But it was covered by the warranty and I only waited for like a month for the repair so in the end everything was fine :)

Ryuk, that really sucks... If mine would ever quit on me (its out of warranty) I sadly would not but another ps3, but instead just a blu-ray player since there cheap now... after buying three xbox's I doubt I would be able to convince my wife to allow me to buy another console anytime soon... :/ dang you xbox dang you !!!

I've been playing FF games since 1997 and I can't believe SE hasn't announced a CE for this game.

It's been almost 5 years, and all I want you to do is give me a decent excuse to give you MORE of my money. The LE Guide doesn't even seen to have anything especially cool other than a hard cover and a 16-page art gallery-type addition.

I wish SquareSoft were here!
