With an eye on the upcoming holiday shopping season, Microsoft(MSFT) on Monday said it would bundle two video games with the Xbox 360, a move that followed by two months price cuts for the video-game console. By the end of the month, Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Elite are expected to ship with Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. The games have a combined retail price of $90, according to Microsoft. Microsoft in August lowered the price of the consoles by $50 in an effort to keep pace with similar moves by rival Sony, which sells the PlayStation 3. The 20-Gbyte Xbox 360 now sells for $350. The 120-Gbyte Elite system retails for $450.
