Spotted: Popcorn box o' Xbox 360 peripherals

Click to jump in!

Joystiq has obtained official box art for an apparent Xbox 360 peripheral bundle. Diving a hand into the "popcorn" box (warning: contents inedible), one looks to pull out the following:

(1) Mini Universal Media Remote (the original Pro pack-in!)
(1) Wireless Network Adapter (apparently not the 802.11n version)
(1) Xbox Live 3-Month Gold Card
(1) 800 Microsoft Points Card
(0) No actual popcorn

While pricing and release details have yet to surface (though box art has been created for various European territories), we expect this package of dusty inventory -- hey, it's called "flexibility" people! -- to coincide with the release of the remote-less, WiFi-less Elite Holiday Bundle in the coming months.

50 bucks and I'll pick this up.

I think I'd pay 75 for that. It's a deal at that price.

The thing I would least use is the Media Remote. I use my PS3 for DVD/Blu-Ray watching, hence why I bought a media remote for it and not my 360.

"(0) No actual popcorn"

Aww... then I guess its not worth paying $50 for.
:D

Mmm, looks like a nice bundle, but 70-80 bucks is a no no.

come on popcorn has a long shelf-life, a small bag in every box would have been at least funny the first-time

I think your comment speaks for everyone here. Or maybe not.

This product is stupid, $300 + $50+ for an Elite with wireless and 3 months of online gaming? Or a PS3 with wireless for $300 with free online gaming? It's like MS is making the PS3 easier to sell, and I own a 360 - no PS3.

Maybe I'll get lucky and pick one of these up on clearance somewhere later down the road. I all ready have an adapter for one of my 360s but own two.

Anyone who has seen the movie "Diner" knows where this joke goes . . .

Well, the box itself grabbed my attention. I guess that's a good thing for marketing.
I might pick it up. I could probably sell the Wifi Adapter if i don't need it(50 foot Ethernet cord).

makes sense from a business standpoint. plenty of people will be getting 360 for christmas and what not. what will they need after they open it up. peripherals. cha ching.

Throw some kettle on the 360 heatsink and game while waiting for you popcorn, not a bad idea!

I really hope this is $50 or under but I highly doubt it. Thats a pretty nice box though^^

My bet is on $100 for the "bundle" price.

Usually:
$10 for MS Points
$80 for WiFi adapter
$20 for Xbox Live
$10 for Remote

So, I think $100 would be fair... Microsoft isn't going to give us a half price super deal, they're going to give us a small price drop for buying several things we wouldn't normally buy.

marauder30 @ Sep 24th 2009 3:31PM

I don't agree that $100 is necessarily fair, considering how overpriced that dongle is.. But it does sound about right. Maybe a little more.

Wouldn't it make more sense to provide a 3-month Netflix subscription too?
