360 Elite, HD DVD player and 7 movies for $599

Over on Amazon.com they're offering the complete HD Xbox 360 media experience, bundling together an Xbox 360 Elite, HD DVD player and seven HD DVD movies for the discounted bundle price of $599. The offer's seven free movies are calculated by adding together the five HD DVDs from the "Perfect Offer", King Kong HD DVD that's included in the box and the 300 HD DVD. In the end, you'd be saving around $50 over purchasing everything separately. And we can't help but make a Xbox 360 versus PS3 comparison; buy an Xbox 360 Elite with 120GB HDD and HDMI cable, HD DVD player, and seven HD DVD movies for $599 or a PS3 with 80GB HDD with no cables included, Motorstorm, Blu-Ray player, and five Blu-Ray movies for $599. Decisions, decisions.

5. there are only 6 hd dvd's in that picture

Posted at 2:59PM on Aug 12th 2007 by oldxskoolxhollywood

6. One, King Kong, comes inside the hd-dvd drive box

7. What bonehead is gonna buy this?

$100 more than a PS3, the HD DVD drive is not even integrated, and sits in a box next door, you can't even use it for games, and the format it supports is going down the pan.

Worst of all, it's a 90nm unit, that pretty much gaurenteed to fail.

If they sell even one of these, then people need putting down, as they are totally brain dead.

8. 360 games currently> PS3 games.

Things are changing buddy. Whilst Halo3 disapponts, Haze impresses.

The PS3 lineup for the next 6 months totally outclass everything the 360 has to offer.

9. thats a pretty damn good deal, i must say...

Posted at 4:12PM on Aug 12th 2007 by DjDATZ

10. Stewie, just no.

Halo 3 and Mass Effect ALONE take on PS3's whole holiday lineup. NOT TO MENTION the rest of the absolutely ridiculous games available this holiday season.

11. Whey are people saying the PS3 has a good line-up coming? I'm interested in nothing on the PS3. Now or in the next year. Sony's probably crying that GTA4 was delayed.

PS3fanboys should go play their playstation. Problem is, there's nothing to play on it. I don't visit PS3fanboy to tell lies.

12. XBOX 360 SUCKS

Posted at 4:20PM on Aug 12th 2007 by Ps3 FaN BoY

13. Didn't I have to buy some stupid dongle for my original xbox to watch movies? Couldn't have MS put an HDDVD drive in the 360 and did something similar?

Whatever, I play games on my 360 and lovin' it.

Posted at 4:23PM on Aug 12th 2007 by Maestro

14. Keep telling yourself that. Ignorance is bliss right?

Posted at 4:23PM on Aug 12th 2007 by Daryl

15. What the Hell is with these dumbasses saying the 90nm Xboxes are "almost guaranteed" to fail. Nothing but a PS3 fanboy, because even with the bloated failure rate (actually 20-25% if that. The things overheating is the consumer's fault) chances are IT WON'T. Do some fucking math before being a dumbass.

I have a 90nm unit from the fucking launch day, and hasn't frozen or quit once, let alone given me the RROD.

16. 360 games RAPE the PS3's line up.

Halo 3, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed (don't care if its on the PS3, I'm not sure), BioShock, Blacksite: Area 51, Gears of War, Quake 4, Forza 2, Command and Conquer, Condemned, Crackdown, Halo Wars, Test Drive Unlimited, Prey, Saints Row, Stuntman: Ignition, TimeShift, and many more.

Posted at 4:37PM on Aug 12th 2007 by Zeus the God

17. It is true, the 360 owns the PS3 anyday of the week. PS3 games blow.

Posted at 4:44PM on Aug 12th 2007 by erivera3

18. wow..sorry I said anything! (#2)

Posted at 4:56PM on Aug 12th 2007 by Toph

19. Wow this is a sweet offer.Wish i had the cash for it right now.I would buy it and trade in my premium 360 for some games the great games that ome out this year.

Posted at 5:29PM on Aug 12th 2007 by vid33nyc1
