Dell’s sneaky Xbox 360 Holiday Bundle offer

Oh Dell, just when we thought you had gone the way of the Wii for your console relations, you sneak in a little something extra.

In Dell’s printed Holiday Gift Guide for December 2008, hidden under an extra flap from the front cover adhered with sticky goo is a deal called the “Xbox 360 60GB HD Holiday Bundle. The bundle includes a 60 GB Xbox 360 Pro and two free games, Lego Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda. Priced at $299, it’s an OK deal since it includes two free games (which is essentially $100 off).

If you didn’t bother to peal back the flap you’d completely miss it, especially since it’s surrounded by Dell small print babble and eclipsed by a giant image of the Dell Inspiron 1525 notebook ($599 for $225 in savings) on the same page

In searching the Dell site, turns out there is much more Microsoft and Sony console stuff there than previously thought. To make the above bundle seem sweeter, Dell is also selling the same bundle with Madden NFL 09 for $358.99.
