Games! Games! Games!

When Microsoft was coming up with a name for its next generation console, it was hesitant to name it Xbox 2 because it would be going up against the Playstation 3 and as we all know (well, most of us, at least) 3>2. So Microsoft did what any male would do when faced with a situation where their product doesn’t quite measure up — overcompensate. Sure, they may have went a bit overboard by calling it the Xbox 360 — where I’m sure some gamers will expect it to be 120 times better than the PS3 — but they weren’t the only ones. Ginormous game retailer Gamestop has announced their Xbox 360 Ultimate bundle which includes the premium console, 11 games, and an assortment of accessories. Final cost: $1200. Ouch.
