Retail display confirms forthcoming Xbox 360 Arcade bundle photo

Yay! More SKUs!

GameSpot has obtained images of a retail display that has confirmed the existence of the rumored "Xbox 360 Arcade" bundle. The display confirms what was previously rumored: The system will come bundled with a wireless controller, a 256MB memory card, and five arcade games. While the display doesn't list the Arcade games included, the rumors have suggested Boom-Boom Rocket, Uno, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, and Pac-Man. The rumors have been true so far, so why question them now?

A price is also not listed, but the system is expected to retail for the same as the current "Core" system, which is currently $279.99. Microsoft refused to comment to GameSpot about the article, but what more is there to say, really?

[Thanks, Justin!]

Why does MS refuse to acknowledge this? At this point you'd figure they'd give up, admit that the cat's out of the bag, and just confirm it.

What I wanna know is what are retailers like Best Buy going to do when my 360 red rings this holiday season (I can feel it coming in the air tonight) and all the SKUs include extra games and stuff. My extended warranty is still good on it and last time my 'box red ringed they wouldn't let me exchange it for the Need For Speed bundle they had at the time.

If all the SKUs offer a different package than my original purchase package, will they HAVE to let me get Marvel:UA and PGR3? Hmm...

You have to realize that they can't do anything about it. It's done. You won't see a hardrive on all units until next generation's system comes out, so quit bitching, guys.

They're not going to say, oh we were wrong. Sony hasn't done that with rumble, remember?

I just have to say it, another sku?!? Microsoft already admitted the problem with a 3 year warranty. Their just hoping to last long enough to replace all the faulty consoles with actual working ones before their times up.

Slightly better than core, so I guess it's a nice move on their part.

Of course, I'm not even gonna bat an eye at the 360 until that new motherboard, designed to prevent the Red Ring epidemic, comes out next year.

I am probably the only one that wants this Arcade, so bring it out in Europe already!

Yah I saw this a few weeks back. I work at RadioShack and a couple weeks back when we started stocking 360 andI had to put the display together and that's what the back of our display boxes have on them. The back of the box under that also has a big picture of Rock Band screen shots.

@brainderailment: You beat me to it. If people want to call the new $399 PS3 “gimped”, what’s a good name for this one (besides, of course, “tard-pack 2.0”)?
