Bundles of Joy: Xbox 360 Guitar Hero Package
Okay, we can all agree that the Xbox 360 is a crappy product. I've been through at least 2 Xbox 360 and it's destroyed several of my video games. There has been a large outcry in the gaming community against Microsoft for knowingly making a faulty product. So with that aside, let's talk about how Microsoft is trying to woo us over with a crappy product. In previous years, they have resorted to slashing the prices and releasing the same crappy product with a bigger hard drive and a higher price.
But this time round Microsoft tried to market the 360 by bundling with Guitar Hero III with a full sized guitar, in addition to Lego Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda. This bundle is actually appealing to because not only do you get Guitar Hero III with a guitar, which is about $80 but you also get two crappy video games which are sold at $60 each, for $350. Only $50 dollars more than the Xbox 360 Pro package. You pay only $50 more for a items potentially worth $200. However there is one downside, this bundle is only available a Sam's Club, so that means you'll have to order it online or have a Sam's Club membership to buy it. The offer is still tempting, the Guitar Hero series have commanded a large fan base as well as a number of worthless clones.
Bottomline: Be wary of the Xbox 360, but if you like Guitar Hero and willing to dish out an extra $50 than by all means go for it.
