  Xbox and Sega Come to Europe for Xmas
Time: 22:16 EST/03:16 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Fred Fernandez

Microsoft and Sega have teamed up to provide a Christmas deal for European gamers.

Previously announced for the US, Microsoft has now decided to bring its deal with Sega -- which involves an Xbox and €120/Ł80 worth of Sega games -- over to Europe. For the price of an Xbox solo set (€249.99/Ł159.99), you’ll be able to pick up a copy of the big black machine with Sega GT 2002 and Jet Set Radio Future along with it for free, from November 1.

“Here’s another reason why it’s going to be an Xbox-green Christmas in Europe,” said Sandy Duncan, vice president, Xbox Europe. “We’re committed to providing best value for our consumers as often as we can, and the Sega Christmas Pack from Xbox is an exceptional example. Xbox has always been amazing value for money and now with this offer it is even more so.”
