Looks like Microsoft will be announcing Xbox 360 console bundles with free pack-in games at Tokyo Game Show on Thursday. CAG members have discovered that GameStop has the new bundles listed with a ship date of October 8th. Lego Indiana Jones and Kung-Fu Panda are included with the $300 Pro and $400 Elite, while Sega Superstar Tennis ships with the $200 Arcade. Xbox 360 Fanboy reports that a Swedish retailer is also listing this bundle, so expect to see this offer everywhere.

As a side effect, expect to find insanely cheap used copies of all three games soon.

Hmmm, I've rented all three for the kiddos already. Kung Fu Panda was a not horrible movie tie-in adventure brawler. Seriously, I was surprised at how much it didn't suck. It was actually pretty enjoyable to my kids when compared to other movie tie-in games. My biggest complaint was camera issues in some spots.

Sega Superstar Tennis was a giant meh. My kids liked the Sega characters but seeing the Samba De Amigo monkey didn't make the game any less meh for me.

There's another rumor of a GranTurismo 5: Prologue and Little Big Planet bundles with the 80GB PS3 and DS controller being announced for Japan at the Tokyo Game Show. Nothing about those hitting elsewhere yet though.

I need to buy a new pro system anyway so this is pretty cool. Not really interested in the games but I''m willing to bet I can still get $10-15 for both at Gamestop to put towards Gears 2. It would also be interesting if a Jasper system was spotted in the wild after the release of these bundle boxes. 🙂

With those two games, the Pro is looking like a bargain this Christmas.
