OK, so a lot of stores don’t have the Xbox 360 Core Bundle, and rumors are running rampant that with the launch of the Xbox 360 Elite, the $50 price drop that’s going around and the new cooler, quieter “Zephyr” models of the console, that Microsoft is all set to pull a Sony and pull the Core bundle off the markets. As if to sweeten the deal, it looks like Microsoft may be selling the Premium and the Elite versions of the console in special “bundles”, with two free games, along with the usual assortment.

Bundling Forza 2 and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, the boxes are marked “Holiday Value Bundle”, which could indicate that Microsoft might try to throw in a couple of games with the console to try and entice more people to pick it up this Thanksgiving and Christmas, considering they are so around the corner. It cannot be confirmed at this point whether the images are really “real” or they are part of someone’s Photochop Phriday phreak trick. Now if only they would actually get their act together and launch the bloody games for the console, then someone might actually be tempted to pick one up, say games like a certain Mass Effect that have been continually pushed back since May!
