The Xbox 360 Resident Evil Limited Edition console bundle was unveiled today by Microsoft in celebration of the series' arrival on the platform. The bundle will be available on March 13 and features an exclusive red console. It will only be sold at EB Games.

Priced at $569, you get a red Xbox 360 Elite and matching wireless controller, a copy of Resident Evil 5, an Xbox 360 Headset, a 120GB Hard Drive, a downloadable Resident Evil 5 theme, and a bonus card that lets you download Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

Obviously, this bundle is going to go fast, so if you want it, you'd better pre-order it soon.

They're not squeezing more money out of consumers, they're luring those who hadn't yet picked up the system. That is a good, attractive bundle, but most of the people that pick it up will be new 360 owners, I'm sure.

... I don't think you know how things work.

Your hatred for Microsoft is really... quite dumb. Like really, which company HASN'T done this ARGH I am actually angry that you made that post because it's so ARGH.

It's pretty rare for people to buy an elite. I was thinking about it yesterday, if they offered 12 months of LIVE (which costs them approximately $0), the elite would sell much better. Right now there's next to no added incentive. 120GB instead of 60GB. Most people have survived on 20GB for the past three years.

Yeah I got the 20gb and get along fine. I've had to delete like 3 old demos but I'll never play them again. Maybe at the very end of the lifespan I'd need a bigger one but I'll manage.
