Hmmmmmmm...........sounds awesome to me.........2 games and an xbox for only $199.  Check it out the games are sega gt and JSRF..........................

I\'m still waiting for that "Buy 6 Xbox games, get the unit for free" deal someone brought up awhile ago. It\'s gotta be any games tho.. cause I\'m not gonna waste my money on a bunch of crap titles just for a free console. On the other hand, I\'ll end up buying 6 titles at the very least anyhow so that\'s an extra 200 bucks I get to pocket and put forward to buying more PS2 & NGC games.

Makes a change to see that the free games given are actually quite good.

desperation

Sega has to be happy.  In an attempt to sell games and become financially stable, they develope for the least most popular console, their games sell like crap, and now their games are being bundled FREE with the console?

Ahh well, I want Sega GT2002.. woulda been good to wait (assuming this deal came out down here) for this..

[Living-In-Clip]

Reminds me a lot of that get three games and a Saturn deal, right before Sega shut down production for the system...

Desperation, yes. Decent marketing idea? Yeah.

Desperation, yes!  But it just may get me to buy one.

soon it will be including the dvd kit, online kit, extra controller, and 2 games, now thats a deal!

Desperation? doubtful. I think they are just trying to counteract the Gamecube Mario bundle, but instead, you get 2 free games, instead of a game and a small memory card for 40 bucks more.

It isn\'t like Sega is giving these copies away. MS most likely bought the copies from Sega at a lowered price, since JSRF probably has alot of copies sitting around, and Sega GT 2002 will never sell huge without decent advertising. Well, this way, the bundle gets advertised, more people play both games, and both MS and Sega look good the press.

btw, when Sega included the three games in with Saturn, it\'s sales rose 500%, software sales rose 400%, this was to the point of outpacing PSX for a few months (N64 was rampaging both), but after, the exclusive titles on PSX really made the difference. This bundle will help to sell quite a few XBoxes, since you get 2 games to try out when you buy the system.

This is a good deal.   You not only get one game but two games with the xbox.  It\'s like buying your xbox for only $100.

well, look what happened to the saturn afterwards

shouldnt m$ learn from history?  all there doing is pissing more revenue away

might as well give those two titles away
noone else paid 50$ for them

what do you mean by that, mm? The Saturn saw the decline afterwards because third parties weren\'t making the big games on it. XBox sees nearly every multi-platform release and even has a few of it\'s own big exclusives. Saturn never had the fanbase, in fact, XBox\'s US userbase is already bigger than Saturn\'s ever was.

This isn\'t the saturn, if you have not noticed!

Go "XBOX"          GO...... "SEGA" RIP DC

Of course, the Saturn had a much higher fanbase in Japan where the Xbox has an even more pitiful fanbase than the Saturn did here. It was an importers paradice, and hence.. it went down as one of the most "hardcore" gamer systems ever.

It\'s pretty much the same situation, but with the territories reversed.

Danm now i got to go buy an XBOX! such BS iI have no time for all this gamming, my pc gamming takes enough of my free time up???????????
