Xbox 360 Bundle Pre-Order on Amazon.com Started

Sep 14 2005, 2:02am EST | by Luigi Lugmayr

Amazon's European sites already launched the Microsoft Xbox 360 pre-order a while ago. Now Amazon.com also started in the United States via Toys'R'Us.

As all other online game retailers (See GameStop and EBGames) Amazon.com also only offers Xbox 360 Bundles and not the individual Xbox 360 console packages (Core and Premium Edition).
Amazon.com offers four Xbox 360 bundles. They are all priced at $799.89. The Xbox 360 Ultimate Bundle and the Xbox 360 Core Bundle come in either Mature or in Teen Game selections. This is a nice idea to offer this distinction. To come to the same price the Core Bundles have more games than the Ultimate Bundle which contains the Premium Edition Xbox 360 console version.
Interestingly Amazon list a shipping date of November 15th. Gamestop is still listing November 1st. As we reported, the Xbox 360 will start selling most likely on November 25th in retail stores.
