Remember that silly looking Xbox 360 Arcade bundle we just showed you? What's really silly is that the Arcade bundle might only come with Arcade title demos.
According to a tip to Engadget (notice the "rumor" tag), it looks like the Arcade bundle that was supposed to come with Pac-Man Championship, Uno, Boom-Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, and Luxor 2 only comes with a disc of demos for Pac-Man Championship, Uno, Boom-Boom Rocket, Feeding Frenzy, and Luxor 2. Wouldn't that be silly?
I find it hard to believe that Microsoft would create something called an Arcade bundle, and then not pack it in with Arcade games. It doesn't make sense. Of course, as 1UP points out, it's going to be pretty difficult to ask Microsoft to confirm the inclusion of demos in a system bundle that they haven't confirmed yet.

Stupid MS always trying to squeeze the moneys right outta you
Uno? really?
Mad points for Microsoft.
nnnnnnnghghghhhuuu.
*reach-around sold separately
I think you're right. The XBOX always came with demos packed into the harddrive. It says right there on the box, "This package includes a disc with games and demos."
Why is everyone making such a big bitch? It's still a much more powerful system than the Wii for only $30 more. What about that rapefest?
This package comes with a wireless controller, 256MB MU and something to play (whether they're full games or demos,) for the same price as the old Core package which had none of those things.
it looks like it comes with pac man and uno as full games and the other games are demos
think marketing
in bold letter it says "5 games"
in fineprint next to it, it says "game and demos"
leads me to believe uno and pac man (both games one would get tired of real quick)are full games then the other demos come into play on the disc.
So it's 5 games plus 5 demos.
I am still baffled at the 256MB memory card, why make a new memory card, why not just included the 512MB card? It would not cost that much and make it an actually good arcade bundle.
