EUROPE ONLY: Gears of War 2 Bundles Arrive for Xbox 360 Posted by XanTium | November 4 00:31 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From the press release: [QUOTE] Friday 7 November 2008 sees the arrival of a new bundle pack for the highly anticipated sequel to the 5 million-selling blockbuster third-person tactical action game, and one of the most popular Xbox 360 games in history, Gears of War 2. Picking up six months after the events of Gears of War, this action packed sequel thrusts you back into a deep and harrowing story of humankind's epic battle for survival against a nightmarish force of underground creatures known as the Locust Horde. Available in France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Austria, Switzerland, Russia, Portugal, Hungary and the Czech Republic, this critically-acclaimed title will be on sale with the 60GB hard-drive Xbox 360 Pro console at an estimated retail price of €269.99 [/QUOTE]

Smart move. They need more out of Europe and I hope this bundle attracts buyer's.

I wonder if they know something I don't. Why are they waiting until friday? Is it because of the election?

Jasper anyone?

[Chancer]

Jasper anyone?

I doubt it.
This is a great game to get when you buy a console, but I doubt it will be the catalyst for a sales drive. Many non owners will not be hooked from the first one, so to them it will appear as just another bundle.

Its just a logical step considering we had the Supersize pack over here (Netherlands):

Xbox 360 60gb (earlier kits had the 20gb) with:

Media Remote
Extra Controller
PGR4 and GOW

So this new bundle probably replaces that old pack (a shame really cause it really was a good deal).

Combined with the dutch cashback deal MS offers, the Xbox 360 is the cheapest console on the market!

An arcade pack is only 150 euro's, about 191 dollars (but then again, the dollar-euro rates are bad for us europeans at the moment)

it seems like a good deal
