Microsoft today released details of three special offers for its next-gen console in a clear bid to grab some of the Christmas market share. The format wars are clearly hotting up in the UK, with Nintendo's Wii coming on December 8--preorders at Amazon UK were snapped up in minutes. The limited-edition Xbox 360 bundles will go on sale November 24, and all come with the premium console (with 20GB hard drive, headset, and wireless controller), the chosen game, and a 30-day Xbox Live Gold membership, for a recommended retail price of £299.99 (approx. $574).
