Do you come from the school of thought that equates "free stuff" with "money saved"? Is a $20 gift card as good as $20 off? Did you buy that useless robotic vacuum dog because it was so steeply discounted you'd practically <em>lose money not buying it</em>? We understand your plight, friend. And if you're Canadian, we think we've got a deal for you.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/24/xbox-250gb-bundle-throws-in-alan-wake-gears-2-and-3-more/">News broke yesterday</a> that our gentle neighbors to the north would be alone in getting the above limited edition Xbox 360 bundle which, while still $300, manages to throw enough free stuff in there that we're actively considering a pricey Canadian road trip --- we'd practically lose money if we didn't buy it! Your $300 nets you a 250GB Xbox 360 S console, and full game downloads of <em>Halo 3</em>, <em>Gears of War 2</em>, <em>Fable 3</em>, <em>Halo Wars</em>, and the excellent <em>Alan Wake</em>. And, beginning today, it's available at Canadian retailers like Future Shop and Best Buy.<br />
<br />
It's not a <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/24/european-xbox-boss-not-feeling-pressured-to-cut-360-price/">price cut</a>, but who needs cash off when you could get that much <em>free stuff</em>?<br />
