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.

AR15 The only thing that I would buy it for would be the Xbox remote. But I wouldn't pay $79.99 for a remote.


The remote i got didn't work so just watch out incase you are the same


Yeah I notice that! If the batteries died or something you have reset the entire thing and look up your tv's code again :/
79.99 IS Well over priced


Well you get other stuff with it!

3 Months >>> $20
Remote >>> $30
HDMI >>> $40

So you save like $10

Mazda3 Seems like a pretty good deal except I don't really need any more HDMI cables.


I think it's a good deal, but do you really need a remote for an Xbox? -_-
