 Please be careful: Bundle does NOT include external memory unit January 8, 2009
I purchased this bundle assuming it includes a memory unit (as stated in the product description and shown in the product image). As I found out after I received my order, it does not. Microsoft is now including 256 mb of memory internally and no longer offers a memory unit with the newer Xbox 360 Arcade bundles. If you don't care about an external memory unit, I think this bundle is a good deal. However, if you are thinking of buying this bundle because of the memory unit, you should reconsider. If you're wondering, I need a memory unit to store my Live account so I can move it between different consoles.
Amazon corrected the problem for me, and stated they would update the product description and images on their site to reflect the change. Until then, I hope my review helps you decide which bundle to purchase. I'm giving this package 3 stars because it did not include what was stated. For their prompt attention, Amazon customer service gets 5 stars.
 Xbox 360 flaw January 7, 2009
this product ate 2 of my 60 dollar games. It has sent scratches all over my game just by my cousins 16yr accidently nudging it. I mean, he barely tapped it. Do not move the console at all while the game is playing.
 The best Console ever January 6, 2009
Excellent console and very good price/features deal. Received in excellent conditions and ready to add a hard disk (I had one) and start the best playing experience.
By Far The Best Console In The Current Generation January 6, 2009
If one is looking for the best value for the dollar in the current generation's videogame consoles, look no further than the Xbox 360.
It is cheaper than the Wii and Playstation 3, but don't let the price point fool you. The game selection is vastly superior to the Wii, and the community (through the use of Xbox Live) is leaps and bounds ahead of Playstation 3.
With the recent addition of Netflix streaming, the Xbox 360 is not only a game console, it is a multimedia juggernaut. It has since become the centerpiece of my home entertainment center.

Problems with the Arcade and Gears of War 2 January 6, 2009
I purchased an XBox 360 after a good friend of mine talked me into getting it (I already own a PS3 which I got after Sony won the Blu-Ray vs. HD DVD war.). He said that Live (the on-line gaming network) was great, the graphics were awsome, and he wanted to play Gears of War 2. After finding out you can watch movies direct from Netflix through the Xbox 360, and reading about how they had put in a new chipset to prevent the RRoD, which had caused a huge number of XBox 360s to fail, I take the plunge, and my wife gets me one for Christmas.
I get it home, and my wife tries Sega Tennis, Monopoly and loves Uno. I try GOW2 and after about 15 minutes playing the game, I get an error, and up pops a box on screen which says "Disc Unreadable". I take it out, clean it, (even though it's brand new) and try again. 10 minutes later same problem. I figure it's a bad disc since we've had no problems with any of the other games. I returned it to Best Buy, same problem with the 2nd disc. I notice after looking on-line and doing some research that the disc has a strange wavy pattern on it. So when I go back to Best Buy for the 3rd time (three different BB stores), I look at the disc before accepting it. No waves. Cool.
Pop it in. An hour into the game same problem. Disc Unreadable, and it brings me back to the home screen. I figure that maybe these are new discs with the problem. So I try renting a copy from the local Block Buster video. An hour in, same error message. (Four different discs - same problem. People have been reporting on-line that they have been having the same problems. Some have been through multiple Xbox 360 Arcade systems AND multiple discs.) Google and see.
I called Microsoft XBox 1-800 number. I get a guy in India, he goes through the checklist. "Are the games and the system from the same country?" Well, yes, of course, you dummy. "Did you try cleaning it?" Yes it's the THIRD disc. "Let me go ask my supervisor." After half an hour, he suggests I bring it back to the store. BestBuy says call Microsoft.
Epic games blames Microsoft. Microsoft blames Epic (which designed the game.) I get the run around and a game that doesn't work. I loved the game, but I can't stand the support from Micro$oft, which is basically nil. I want to return the system, but my wife loves "her" games and wants to keep it. If you're trying to decide which system to get, and want to play GOW2, save yourself the headache, get a PS3, and Drake's Fortune. (Granted the Multiplayer is MUCH better on XBox.) Microsoft has the same problems with Xbox 360's, Video games, and Vista. Poor testing before release.
