New Live bundle with Chatpad and PGR4 for $69 [update]

Update: According to Xbox.com's accessory page, this new bundle will be available at retailers on October 7th.
By golly, that Live 12 month bundle rumor turned out to be true. Over on Xbox.com, a new listing for a 12 month bundle called the "Xbox LIVE Messenger Gold Pack" popped up and is listed at $69, which is actually a pretty darn good deal. Included in the Messenger Gold Pack is a 12 month subscription to Xbox Live, a Chatpad, a wired headset and a copy of Project Gotham Racing 4. Not too shabby, especially for those in the market for Live subscriptions and Chatpads.

Makes you wonder if Gold memberships are going to drop in price... that's a pretty good deal, considering that the accessories and game add up to $70+ anyways. Maybe gold is going to drop down to $20 a year as part of NXE?
And yes, I know that they offered an xbox bungle with the flying game and headset for the Xbox for around the same price, but now they're including the chatpad as well...

Unless PSN catch up I don't see why MS would lower the price.

i just want to say that "bungle" made me spit out a very loud "HA!" in the office.

yeah boy! Just got a renewal for 1 year just last week. Stupid Monkeys! Too bad there isn't any consistency in Xbox Live's marketing approach. :( Oh well. I chat enough at work as it is.. ;) cheerz!

That is a pretty sweet deal indeed. I've been looking to get a chatpad myself. Trying to crank out a message to someone, with the on-screen keyboard, before a match starts up in Halo 3 is such a pain. The chatpad retails for 30 bux alone. I already have PGR3, so I would give that away to a friend.

I can haz?
Divine Dirtclod @ Sep 26th 2008 2:06PM
Yes... but do you have PGR*4*?
I DeX I @ Sep 26th 2008 2:43PM
oOOoops, PGR4 is what I meant.
stinger503 @ Sep 26th 2008 1:57PM
A deal like this makes me wish I didn't have a chat pad already. Or Xbox Live. Or PGR 3
Tony @ Sep 26th 2008 2:02PM
PGR4 is way better than 3, in my opinion... I'd hold on to it if you just have 3 :)
I wish there were two game packages since I'd get this, but already have PGR4.

awesome ill be need another year come march so this is great
vidGuy @ Sep 26th 2008 3:51PM
A good deal. If I wasn't paid up through sometime in 2010 I'd totally get this.

Luay @ Sep 27th 2008 2:41PM

Ujn Hunter @ Sep 28th 2008 2:14PM
Super Deal! I'll be picking one up instead of waiting for my renewal to kick in... already own a chat pad... but don't own PGR4 yet and I could always put the chatpad on my other controller... ;)

Yeah I saw this was coming out and held of getting a year subscription when I needed it. Just copped a 1 month mid September so it should expire right in time for this to already be out.
