Special Edition Blue Xbox 360 Bundle To Be Offered Through Walmart

Microsoft is set to release its Special Edition Blue Xbox 360 Bundle exclusively at Walmart on October 7. The controller and console of the special edition bundle is outlined in neon blue and is available through Walmart until supplies last.

The bundle, which includes two games, is priced at $249. The games included in the bundle are Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Call of Duty: Ghosts. Buyers of the bundle will also receive free access to Xbox Live Gold for one month.

After the software giant launched the Xbox One, industry watchers expected the company to focus on its latest game console. However, it appears that the company is also setting its sights in promoting the Xbox 360.

Although sales of the Xbox One surpassed the five million-unit level, it still lags behind the sales of the Sony PlayStation 4, which surpassed the ten million-unit level. The company is expected to have more profit with the Xbox 360 since it has a lower manufacturing cost. The company may take advantage of this situation until the game console will be discontinued.

The upcoming release of the Special Edition Blue Xbox 360 Bundle may be linked to the view of the company that the older game console is still an important component of its Xbox portfolio. It also offers an amazing entertainment experience to its fans and the company is aims to provide additional offerings for its owners during the holiday season.

The company is also offering a standard black console for the holidays. The standard console is priced at $249 and will also come with free games. The same one month free access to Xbox Live Gold will also come with the standard console bundle.

In addition to the exclusive offering of the Special Edition Blue Xbox 360 Bundle through Walmart, Microsoft has also partnered with Target to offer the 4GB Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle.
