Xbox 360 Essentials pack coming in October for $79.99

4.6
Just in time for the upcoming holiday rush, Microsoft has posted news of a new accessory pack, which will wrap up almost everything you need to accompany a new Xbox 360 into one $79.99 kit. The Xbox 360 Essentials pack will include a wireless controller, a media remote, an HDMI cable, and a three-month Xbox Live Gold membership.

Microsoft says you can save a full $55 by buying these items in the pack rather than separately, which does make us wonder where exactly they're shopping. But if you're giving a 360 this year (or know someone who's getting one and could use some extra gear), this might make a nice package under the celebratory symbol of your respective holiday.

-NewYork- Too bad the controller and the membership comes with the xbox... and you really don need a remote. And unless you have a hdtv, then the hdmi cables are useless...


yeah, but if you brake controller, i recomend getting this instead of just the controller


Yeah, especially since you will get 3 months XBL and save $5 if you were to buy a new controller and a 3 month!
