Microsoft on Monday said it would offer its Xbox console bundled with two games from Japanese publisher Sega, an effective discount aimed at more price-conscious game buyers. The package will sell for the same $199 price the console alone currently sells for, which Microsoft said translates into a savings of about $100. Microsoft's Xbox and Nintendo GameCube both came out in November of last year, while Sony Corp.'s 6758.T market-leading PlayStation 2 came out in late 2000.
The two games to be included in the Xbox bundle are skateboarding and action game "Jet Set Radio Future" and auto racing title "Sega GT 2002." The bundle will also come with a smaller version of the Xbox's control pad, which has previously been available separately.
