Leaked information from Gamestop and Circuit City confirms that these retailers will be rolling out a new bundle for the Xbox 360 next week. The pack, which includes a 60 GB hard drive, a wired headset, and a three month subscription to Live will retail for $99 USD. Oh, and they will also throw in a free ethernet cable so that you can connect your 360 to the interwebs.

Perceptive consumers will notice that the price of this bundle, when added to the price of the Arcade pack, brings the total cost almost exactly in line with the up-market Pro bundle. While the price is still a bit higher than we would like to pay for each of these items on their own, it is nice to see that Microsoft is providing Arcade owners with the ability to upgrade to the Pro model if they wish. What do you think? Is the price of this bundle outrageous or is it fair, considering the current offerings from the company?
