Xbox 360 Arcade bundle spotted, box looks kinda silly photo

Microsoft still isn't saying much about the rumored "Xbox 360 Arcade" bundle, even after we've seen retail displays confirming its existience. Let's see how much longer they can tip toe around the issue after we've seen the whole box!

A Target store in Haverhill, MA happened to have one available for sale, according to engadget. The the "spy shots" are a bit blurry, but the price tag looks like it lists a price of $279.99, which would further confirm rumors. 

As Nick told us before, this bundle is rumored to come with a 256mb memory card, a wireless Xbox 360 controller, the console, and LIVE arcade games Boom-Boom Rocket, Uno, Feeding Frenzy, Luxor 2, and Pac-Man. It's too bad that the photographer didn't think to use his Internet Matlock-ish spy cam skills to confirm the pack-in items, though.

Lame way to combat Wii appeal. But might just work.

Also, zero.

Is that Pac-Man CE?

Advertising a console by showing a bunch of sport-playing silhouettes on the box.... yeah. "Go Play! Outside!"

Screw this, I just want the Falcon chip to come out in the premium 360s. Those new bundles coming out this month had better have it!

Dale, I can 100% confirm the contents listed. We got them in at Walmart this week and they are street dated for the 23rd.
I would've taken a picture, but I thought it was all common knowledge by now so I didn't bother. I'll snag a shot with my phone at work tonight if I can get to the boxes... we have them locked up in our security cage and only management has the key for it.
But yes, the 5 games and the memory card are included.
