Microsoft to release bundle designed to get base model 360 owners online
Ahead of the release of the New Xbox Experience next month, Microsoft has lifted the lid on a new Starter Pack designed to get owners of the base model Xbox 360 Arcade console online and fully Live-integrated.
CVG reports that Arcade or Core owners are already able to get online, but the lack of a hard drive on their machine means that downloading content is difficult – particularly as the NXE requires 128MB of storage to operate.
This new pack includes a 60GB HDD, headset, Ethernet cable and three month Xbox Live Gold subscription. It will be released in North America on November 4th and cost $99 – no European details have been announced as of yet.
Microsoft has previously announced plans to offer some users a free memory upgrade. These moves comes as the platform holder further drives the online elements of its console, which will soon include HD film streaming, a Mii-like avatar system and a network-wide quiz show format.

And then...
Microsoft gives all core / arcade users a free hard drive or Microsoft finally decides to get rid of arcade packs and sell the Premium as the same price as the core...
hope so
that would be a great idea !!! hard drive seems quite essential now so why not remove all arcade packs and just have the 2 consoles, makes it easier for customers

Well from my few years in gaming retail I can safely say this is what microsoft does best. By that I mean christmas bundles. They are always great value for money but dont expect them to last into next year. In my opinion MS offer the best packages at christmas but then the wii doesnt need to try and attract new customers they just come. And sony despite a rough start to PS3 have an awesome legacy.
