Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Hardened Edition $99

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Hardened Edition will be priced at the... modest $99 point. With what it contains, and the MSRP of all of it, the price isn't too bad. It's probably $59.99 for the game itself, and $50 for the Elite Access, you'd be saving $10 plus getting a few extra goodies. The box includes:

•  Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 game with unique disc art.
•  One year of membership in Call of Duty Elite.
•  “Founder status” on Elite with exclusive in-game emblem, player card, camouflage, clan XP boost and other exclusive benefits.
•  SteelBook case.
•  PlayStation Network exclusive: “Animated Timeline Theme.”
•  Xbox 360 exclusive: “Special Ops Juggernaut Xbox Live Outfit.”
•  Limited-edition “field journal” with more than 100 pages of “authentic military sketches, diagrams and written entries.”

Modern Warfare 3 Themed Xbox 360 Exposed

MjolnirX - Major Nelson has announced a new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3-themed Xbox 360. It will, of course, be the super-sized 320GB model, and will come with two themed wireless controllers. The Xbox also has custom sounds for powering on and opening the disc tray, like the now-delayed Star Wars-themed Xbox 360. If having a gun-metal gray console is going to clash with your carefully-selected TV stand in your Feng Shui-arranged house, fear not. The controllers will be available separately for $60, and will include download codes for in-game content not yet announced. 

Microsoft also announced an Xbox 360-themed Bluetooth headset which will be $70, and will also come with an exclusive download code for DLC. This may be to compete with Turtle Beach's themed headsets. The bundle also includes, of course, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and a month of free Xbox Live Gold. 

This monster bundle will cost $399, which isn't too bad of a deal, but it seems like a long way to go for a new, probably unnecessary console. It is due out on November 8th, 2011.

Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword Getting A Shiny Gold Bundle

Castrum - Skyward Sword is getting a fancy golden bundle at launch, which comes with the above (the game, a music CD with performances from the Zelda 25th Anniversary concert, and a special Wii Remote Plus). The bundle will cost $69.99, whereas the game itself is still just $49.99.

Note that, in order to play Skyward Sword, you are required to have either a Wiimote Plus or the MotionPlus add-on, so for anyone who hasn't yet jumped on the bandwagon, this would be a good time to do so.

Resistance 3 Included (Again) With Pre-Order Of Sony 3D TV For Limited Time

MjolnirX - Our titles are getting ridiculously long. We have so much info to pack in them, that there's hardly  a point reading any further!

It seem that Sony is, again, including Resistance 3 with the 24" Sony 3D TV, even after pulling the game from  the bundle and replacing it with MotorStorm: Apocalypse. This is, however, for a limited time. After September 3rd, you will no longer be able to get Resistance 3 with the bundle. 

A 24" 3D TV just doesn't cut it for me. The smallest TV I play games on is 48". Going from my 65" in my living room to 55" in my man-cave was hard enough. I can't see me ever downgrading that far. By no means am I saying this is a bad deal, but I just don't see a market for 24" monitors/TV's. Prove me wrong.

The bundle will include: 
 - 24" 1080p 240hz Sony TV that will allow to users to see two different images, and includes a built-in subwoofer
 - HDMI Cable
 - Resistance 3 and/or Motorstorm: Apocalypse

New Xbox 360 Bundle To Come With 5 Games (Canada Only)

MjolnirX - Microsoft has announced a new 250GB Xbox 360 bundle. It will be $299.00 and come with download codes for 5 of some of the Xbox 360's biggest hits: Alan Wake, Gears of War 2, Halo 3, Fable 3 and Halo Wars. This is an amazing deal, and available for a limited time.

Be warned, though. The games will take up nearly 30GB of hard drive space. Better delete some of those Rock Band songs.
