Microsoft launches new family-oriented Xbox 360 bundle

By

Microsoft said on Monday it is launching a reworked low-end version of its Xbox 360 in a bid to widen the game console’s appeal to a broader audience that has flocked to rival Nintendo’s Wii.

The new Xbox 360 Arcade costs $280 and comes with five games previously available only for download over the Xbox Live online service. It does not have the hard drive found on more expensive Xbox models, but will have a memory card for saving progress in games. The Arcade, which goes on sale on Tuesday, replaces the Core model, which carried the same price but didn’t include any games or memory storage.
