First off, Amazon Germany had a 250GB Xbox 360 listed. It’s not there anymore, but the folks atEdgeand Kotaku saw it while it was still up. The bundle contained two wireless controllers andForza Motorsport 3, all for about $400. Not bad. This could have been an error, but Edge reminds that Amazon Germany listed the PS3 Slim as early as July, and that turned out to be a real thing. We’ll ask around to see if this bundle is a real thing.
As for things you can actually get now,Amazon has the three SKUsof the Xbox 360 available with their new price drop. For those that missed the memo, that’s $299 for the Elite and $249 for the Pro. As a promotion, they are offering a $50 credit toward a 12+1 Xbox Live subscription card if you buy an Elite before September 1st. For those buying the Pro or the $199 Arcade unit, you’ll get one of a selection of free games for your new console. Titles likeHalo 3, Fable 2, Lost OdysseyandHalo Warsare offered with this deal.
Way to go, Amazon. If you were looking to get a new (or another) Xbox 360, it looks like Amazon is the way to go right now.
[Update:Joystiqpoints to the 250GB also being spotted in South Africa. Same package and contents. Something’s up.]
