Canadians get 4 games free with 360 purchase

by Dustin Burg { Jul 9th 2007 at 4:15PM }

Canadian gamers are in for a treat this week, because Future Shop has an Xbox 360 deal you can't refuse. This week Future Shop is offering the Premium Xbox 360 Forza 2 bundle for $499, but they are also throwing in three free games to boot! The three free games included are Crackdown, World Series of Poker: Tournament Of Champions, and Hitman: Blood Money plus Forza 2 equals four free games with a 360 purchase. Now that's what we call gaming in a box. Though, we recommend holding out until tomorrow night to see if the rumored 360 price drop happens. If not, go get yourself a 360 ... you deserve it.

[Thanks, DjDATZ]

I think if the price drop happens, then this bundle's price may drop by about half the price drop...that way FS wont be losing TOO much money.

my guess is crackdown isn't moving anymore as no halo3 beta, the used market is probably flooded.
WSOP:TOC /yawn
hitman:blood munny, could be ok.

I only got $9 for my used copy of Crackdown. The worst part is that I only played 3 games of the Beta before I quit on it., I should have sold it during that first week,

this is just Futureshops way of compensating for the canadian price which is much higher then the us price. The premium here costs $499 when $399 usd is now only like $425 due to our stong dollar. Every week seems to be a different ammount of games and what not.

The problem is, they dont have any elites for sale (sold out canada wide) and 0 on order. Also, with the purchase of an elite, you get 0 free games. Im waiting for a price drop, then from them to re-stock the elites.

I feel stupid because I only got one free game with mine, and it wasn't even any good.

Not that great of a deal, WSOP blows, Hitman was take it or leave it, Crackdown was so so. The only game that is worth playing is Forza 2.

I don't understand the people that bought Crackdown, just to sell it. The game is amazing. I just wish I hadn't lent it to my friend, I still haven't gotten it back.

You can also get Crackdown, Hitman and Poker as a bundle for $150:

Don't forget about Hexic! ;)

Oh, and Crackdown is an awesome game. Well worth $60, let alone when it is included in a bundle. And well worth the $60, even without the beta. In fact, Crackdown itself is much better than the Halo 3 Beta was.

Crackdown is my favorite game I've ever played!

There is no game funner than Crackdown; that is for sure!

When you watch cops come in and shoot down a bunch of bad guys, and then kill them, it is cool to see the bad guys drop down on the floor and say stuff like, "I see the light," and "I this the way it ends." And then the police officers will walk up to them, take out their shotguns, and just keep shooting their bodies on the ground!!!!!! That is AWESOME!!!!

I almost peed my pants when I saw that happen the first time, and it went even further!!!!

The little details in Crackdown are the best I've ever seen! After cops help you kill off those bad guys, they shoot their guns up in the air repeatedly and keep yelling with excitement! It's awesome and funny to see!

The online way that Crackdown is played really does make it the funnest online co-op game I've ever played. There is just something special about one person driving, and the other person standing on top of the car using a machine gun or rocket launcher to kill off those bad guys.

The storyline to Crackdown is so cool and funny. The ending is one of the best ones I have ever seen in my life. So awesome, so unexpected, and so funny!

Crackdown is awesome!

I fully agree with Jim. 100%

Crackdwon ROCKS. I still play it all the time. My only complaint is that the game is repetitive -- infiltrate gang area, kill leader, wash, rinse, repeat. I wish there was a little more variety in the game.

However the variety does come in with the achievements, the agility orbs, the hidden orbs, etc. Lots of fun. And co-op does rock.
