Perhaps the clearest sign yet of just how determined Microsoft and other companies involved with the Xbox are to see the console succeed this Christmas will arrive at UK retailers next Friday - with the system's two most important titles, Halo and Splinter Cell, both being bundled with the console and two other Sega titles for £199. The bundle represents stunning value for money for consumers, offering four games - including two AAA titles - and the console itself for £100 less than an Xbox would have cost at launch last March. Taking the retail price of Xbox software into account, this reduces the effective cost of the console itself to under £40.
