I wonder what game/games they will bundle with the XBOX 360 at initial release?

This just crossed my mind while I was sitting here staring at the wall.

I'd be more worried about stores forcing bundles. Like what happened with the PSP.

I didn't think that console bundles existed since SNES/Genesis? I know my N64, PS1 and Gamecube didn't include a game.

The bundles were only forced online...with a couple retailers such as ebgames. Everyone else sold just the unit.

why include a game with console when you KNOW consumers will NEED a game to even at least turn on to something that they can control with a controller. guaranteed cash there! so are secondary controllers.
nintendo is probably kicking themselves for including the Super Mario World game and the second controller and sell the bundle for only $199.99 back in 1991.

I have heard there might be different bundles later on (including a version of the console with a bigger hard drive and a second controller already bundled), but for intital launch probably just a basic console with one controller.

Launch titles:

# Amped 3 (2K Games)
# Call of Duty 2 (Activision)
# Condemned (Sega)
# Dead Or Alive 4 (Tecmo)
# Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Bethesda)
# Final Fantasy XI (Microsoft)
# Full Auto (Sega)
# Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (Ubisoft)
# Gun (Activision)
# Kameo: Elements of Power (Microsoft)
# Madden NFL 06 (EA)
# NBA 2K6 (2K Games)

# Quake 4 (Activision)

The following week after release:

* Burnout Revenge
* FIFA Soccer 06
* Peter Jackson's King Kong

That's all that is known for now. And if you didn't hear, rumored launch date is November 4th.
