Splinter Cell Conviction Xbox 360 bundle sneaks out photo

Today, Ubisoft and Microsoft have announced the Special Edition Splinter Cell: Conviction Xbox 360 bundle.

At this point, you should know what to expect from these things -- you get an Elite console, a 250GB hard drive, two wireless controllers, and a standard edition copy of Splinter: Cell Conviction. All of that for $399.99, and it'll be available on April 13.

Splinter Cell joins the ranks of Final Fantasy XIII and Modern Warfare 2, other third-party games which have also received very similar bundles. What's next?

Surely everyone who wants a 360 has already got one? I mean they're cheap as chips now.

I'm pretty sure MS only make these bundles for people who've had 360's, they've RROD'd but need the lure of a big game like Splinter Cell to persuade them to replace it.

I suppose, little kids are turning 12 and becoming 360's main demographic everyday.

Ugh, I hate how that's the price I paid for my regular ass Pro 360 a few years ago. 20 GB, 1 controller, no games, and no HDMI. Microsoft needs to upgrade those of us who did that for free. Too bad that will never happen. Sigh...

Seriously, another freaking bundle? This is getting annoying. What happened to just buying the game separately?

Well done, start with RROD, then talk about paying money for online, no blu-ray and multidiscs, and you can end with the FFXIIIversus exclusive.

it would be cool if these bundles actually came with a limited edition xbox and not just an elite bundled with the game.

Like the RE5 xbox was red, that was sick.

I'm in the same situation and it sucks... I want my HDMI and HDD but I also wish they had a an elite model in White like the original console.

I'm not surpised they did a bundle for this. I know some of my mates at work who don't have 360s, have seen the trailer for SCC and now really want 360s.

Before I hear any PS3 fanboy moaning (sorry, SC has already posted, I mean any more PS3 fanboy moaning) the PS3 and 360 are both getting great games at the moment, so why are you moaning?

Heavy Rain was great. GoW3 is going to be awesome. Mass Effect 2 was great. SSC is going to be awesome. Great, isn't it?

I'm sure we'll see another one of these bundles when Halo: Reach comes out.

This bundle still makes more sense than the PS3's "This Is It" BluRay bundle.

Who wants to watch a BD consisting of coarse Michael Jackson documentary footage? Why would that sell PS3s?

Want to know a bundle that would've made more sense? PS3/Batman Begins BD/The Dark Knight BD/Batman: Arkham Asylum PS3.

Now that is a PS3 bundle.

See I was right abiut MS getting desperate. Soon every game that comes out will get a bundle even the multiplatform games. Its because they realize they will lose.

@Corbanski

*sigh* you've got a real chip on your shoulder about MS huh?

I noticed in one of your previous comments you called Kevin Smith a god.

You obviously didn't remember his scene in Die Hard 4. Or as I like to call it: "Giant Gears of War Commercial, with a bit of Kevin Smith talking in it"

So yeah...that's what your god thinks of MS. More than happy to support 'em.

Hope I haven't ruined your world. Still, you might prefer this real one.

@ Corbanski

So then what exactly is the Michael Jackson PS3 bundle?

If that's not desperate, I don't know what is.

Why in the fuck are people complaining about these bundles??
If you have the system already, it's NOT FOR YOU.
It's for people who don't have 360s who are interested in getting one and seeing a great bundle for a great price with a great game is that much more incentive to buy the system now.
Goddamn...people will bitch about ANYTHING on here, won't they? Shut up already...

This is temtping. I need a new 360 since I'm moving out this summer and my brother won't let me take the one we share. Anyone know if it's just a plain old black Elite, or does it have some ghey graphics on it?

lol @ Corbanski.

I can't wait until Q3/4 of this year to see him desperately searching for some shit to say. And yeah, there is an MJ PS3 bundle.

I already bought the FFXIII 250gb bundle, so screw this!

I'm looking forward to this game but I'm wondering does this game really need a bundle? I say no.

If the PS2 itself is what $99? Now the PS3 is $300 i think they could afford to install BC

if they really tried or wanted to even via firmware update. Isn't that what they did when

they brought dual shock back.
