Gun.. Dark Sector.. Turok.. they still waste plastic & aluminum in those.. things..
Kung Fu Panda & Indy I wouldn't touch for being film tie in and no online co-op..
I'd apologise to anyone if they bought me either package..

Are those games even worth anything when traded in?
Viridium @ Nov 30th 2008 5:01PM
Not enough to worry about.
Bac0nator @ Nov 30th 2008 5:07PM

A bunch of haters.
GUN was fun and Turok had its moments. Lego Indiana may be repetitive but it was fun, too.

Gun may look like a cruddy title...
but youre right, its fun. And the story is actually half decent. The whole game reminded me of Red Dead Revolver.
Can't believe people would complain about free games....

Xav I picked up Gun used from EB for about $7 over a year ago. Turok recently was $15 from Dell.ca (and I won't touch it even at that price).
Fact is most of those games are crap; the only one I'd actually try is Dark Sector. Gun I've played, the others I wouldn't waste my time on (Lego Star Wars is enough Lego for me).

yay

Ya that's seems to be the norm with these 2 companies, (in Canada anyway). They always hype the whole 4 or 5 games thing, just to totally get you interested, and then they drop the bomb shell that the added games are always shit titles...
But hey it's an added bonus I guess if you have never played the titles before, or even better yet, the crap titles could become very handy coasters for people who are sick of their wives or girlfriends bitching about you putting cups directly on the table!!!

Its not too bad for a first time adopter of the 360.
However Best Buy had a great deal that I couldn't pass up for $79.99. (12month Live Gold, Keypad, Wireless headset, Wired Headset and PGR4).

You must have gotten in before the error correction. It's a wired headset in the box, not wireless folks.

Friday night I picked up the Live Bundle Kit. I was able to get Future Shop to throw in a wireless headset for free. I sent the tip to xbox360fanboy.com however I guess they weren't interested.
jonjon72 @ Nov 30th 2008 11:06PM
LOL....didn't see the correction so ya, I lucked out. Those wireless headsets go for $59.99 as a stand alone.

Life is miserable if we feel hopelessness. The economy of our country seems like dropping as the days passes by. Fortunately Payday loans are among the things consumers are taking advantage of right now, as many prices are beginning to drop off. For the second month in a row, prices have been dropping on some items, like gasoline. However, as the prices drop, the unemployment is on the rise, which causes a drop in Americans going out and buying things. The purchase of homes is at a 50 year low, and giants of retail like Best Buy and Office Depot are taking massive hits. Even the Christmas season, the hub of the retail year, doesn’t seem to be able to save large companies from the slowdown. To read more on the economy and payday loans check out this article.
