"This isn’t about incremental change. It’s a revolution. Break out of linear and limited entertainment. Leave passive, one-size-fits-all fun behind. Unleash the power of human energy." &mdashGamestop.com - Xbox 360 Ultimate Bundle

Could the gaming industry become any greedier? I'm going to wager $1,199.83 (not including shipping) that it can.

That's right folks, for only $1,199.83 Gamestop is selling their 'Xbox 360 Ultimate Bundle'. Keep in mind Gamestop defines ultimate as "the $399.99 Xbox plus 11 really crap games."

Banking on the failure of the Xbox 360 to sell, Gamestop is hoping to just shovel heaping loads of dung quickly and in large chunks. I'm not even sure some of the games they are offering are launch titles. Buyer beware, even if Xbox games were priced at $60 per shot, eleven games would still only cost you $660. Not to mention you get to pick which games you'd like. I suspect the person who buys the Xbox 360 to throw in Madden NFL '06 is not the same person who would be psyched to dabble in the princess-y shape changing magic of Kameo.

The official list of what your 1,200 bones will get:
1. Xbox 360 System
2. Perfect Dark Collector's Edition
3. Project Gotham Racing 3
4. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
5. Dead or Alive 4
6. Call of Duty 2
7. GUN
8. Quake 4
9. Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
10. Condemned
11. Madden NFL 06
12. Kameo
13. Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
14. Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit
15. Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery
16. Xbox Live 12 Month Card
17. 1 Year Product Replacement Plan
18. Swift kick in the pants
