Xbox 360 is a nice gaming console. You may not have one. You may want to buy one. Soon you may buy one more conveniently than before. It’s a new “bundle” from Microsoft and it comes on May 15. Until then, work hard, earn your keep and don’t spend all the money on booze, you rebel, you![more]

So, let’s say it again: May 15, Xbox 360 – cheaper. Well, at least considering the stuff they through in the bargain. First of all, if you wanted to buy the Elite or the Premium version, forget it, this is the Core version. What does that mean, exactly? First of all, no hard-disk for you.

Yes, ladies and gentlepeople! Halo 3 and Project Gotham Racing 4!!!

Not bad, Microsoft, not bad at all. And for the nifty price of 200 euros. Oh, I’m sorry, 199 euros. Yup, you can use that extra euro for a noble cause and still get your Xbox console. What a treat! Sorry about the sarcasm, but these ..99 prices always bug me for more reasons than one.

Now, the Xbox 360 is an old console, but also a wise one. Many of the inhabitants of the Gaming Console Colonies believe that Microsoft should come up with a new version and not with marketing gimmicks which, after all, could not delay the inevitable fall of an already battered product.

But that’s my opinion. You don’t have to listen to me, you’ve got your own brain. (And hopefully, a license for using it.)
