Ellen showers audience with Halloween treat, an Xbox 360 Arcade bundle

In a recent episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, the popular daytime host went through a list of items that could be suitable Halloween treats other than candy. Among twist-ties and fortune cookie fortunes, Ellen decided her last idea was so good she'd give one to everyone in her studio audience. Lifting the veil to reveal an Xbox 360 Arcade bundle, the crowd of guests exploded with excitement -- a sonic boom so loud that hadn't been heard since our readers heard about Gears of War 2, officially. But, less girly ... or maybe more, whatever. We kid because we love.

[Thanks, Jonah]

Calm down, Arcades come with a 256MB memory card so they're fine.

Serio said...

Why? The memory card is big enough to have the update and a few games on it.

Grant said...

anyone with an arcade can do that upgrade program through MS to get either a larger memory card or 20GB HD on the cheap.

Ellen was right, an Xbox 360 is a perfectly suitable Halloween treat. More people should follow her lead.

If she gave an X360 to a blind kid, i wouldn't be surprised if she handed out a Zune to a deaf one...
