+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 10, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted April 10, 2009 New information from the Mole: a new Xbox 360 Elite coming, with Halo 3 and Fable 2 packed in at no additional charge. That's quite the bundle, and adds a ton of value to the package."No one schedules meets in junk yards unless they want to be killed," I say, looking at the hulking piles of scrap steel that surround us. The mole sighs, and lights a cigarette. "If I wanted you dead, I would have..." "Killed me by now, I know. You did spike me the last time we met, and I felt terrible for a week afterwards. What information do you have for me?" The Mole leans against what looks to be an old Camaro, and looks thoughtful. "What I gave you in that dart wasn't a sedative. Not really." He takes out a vial of an evil-looking brown liquid, and throws it to me. I catch it, and the biohazard symbol glares at me from the glass. "What would have happened if I had dropped this?" I ask. The Mole shrugs. "To you? Nothing, not anymore. To the city... it would have been bad. But you're a gamer, I trust your reflexes. Let's get away from weaponized [redacted] however, and I'll give you the information I came here to share. Soon the 360 Elite model will come with two games, Halo 3 and Fable 2. Even better? The bundle won't go up in price. So you'll get two great titles for your $400." I nod, that's a very good deal. There have been rumors about the Elite being phased out for different special editions, such as the Resident Evil bundle we broke the news on, and this would seem to confirm that information. The Mole says we should have this rumor confirmed by the end of next week, so we should know very quickly if his information is accurate. I have faith though, and the Mole saunters away without fuss. Before he leaves, he gives me an envelope. "That one's about Sony," he tells me. "Open it over the weekend, I think you'll be very interested in the information." Two big scoops in one week? The Mole delivers. Source: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/04...and-fable-2.ars Interesting, instead of ditching the model (other rumour) or dropping the price it's the bundle route. Also, not worth it's own topic and wrong section, but start the price cut PS3 rumour train up again :laugh: Before he leaves, he gives me an envelope. "That one's about Sony," he tells me.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 10, 2009 Author Subscriber² Share Posted April 10, 2009 For a credibility check all this "moles" announcements have surrounded bundles or price drops and many of them have been right (might even be a 100% track record). So it's not a Gamestop employee talking to a member of staff, overhead by a customer who tells a man on the train overheard by a Kotaku reporter.

neoadorable Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 four hundred is still beyond my range, but for many people this will be irresistible if it comes out. i agree it beats the compilation disc i got with my new arcade, game-wise...

____ Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 This is pretty tempting for a second machine, another XBox that actually matches the rest of my electronics and second copies of Halo 3 and Fable 2 is very tempting for LAN party action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotenks98 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Why couldnt this had been earlier this year before I bought my system. It came with that garbage kung fu panda and legos game. If I had known I would have waited till this came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
