This particular bundle has been discontinued and slowly discounted by Target until it is now $199
It contains
Xbox 360 Arcade - (Jasper) with Halo 3, Mass effect, Banjo Kazooie in separate cases.
It also comes with the Lips pack - (original game and two wireless microphones)
The Target reference number for the bundle is 45380396
Often these bundles are not on display.. and simply out the back forgotten..
The store I purchased from, did not have them on display nor advertised on the shelf and knew nothing about them until I specifically asked them to find this bundle..
There is similar bundle containing the Xbox pro 60gb with the same bundles games for $349….
To find the location of stock, I called customer relations at target, quoted the target reference number and state I was from… I was then provided with a list of stores than were meant to have stock..
I then called the nearest store and confirmed they had stock, before making the trip to purchase…
Not all Targets have stock (very few do). Some stores still had large numbers of these.
P.S. the console I purchased were Manufactured in April 2009…
Edit should add..
Also comes with a One month free trial card of gold live…
The packs are probably left overs from the July 2009 sale where they were $375 as listed here..
