With PS3-exclusive inFamous getting good press, and due out this very week, Microsoft in Australia has sorted out a new piece of bundle news to include its heavy-hitter, Gears of War.
We make the connection only because the Xbox 360 bundle isn't due until June 4th, and it's unusual for any of the platform holders to issue news this far ahead of time for fear of hurting sales of current offerings.
But, of course, it's not just a bundle, it's an experience... and an ultimate one.
The official press release states:
"The ultimate Gears of War experience will be available for Australian customers from the 4th of June, 2009 with the upcoming release of the Xbox 360 Gears of War bundle. Available at participating stores, the bundle includes an Xbox 360 Pro console, a copy of Gears of War and the follow-up Gears of War 2."
The bundle RRPs for AU$449, that's about £220. We're waiting to hear whether UK gamers will be getting the same treat... well, Xbox 360 owners who don't already own both games, that is.

my point is the UK already has the treat.
