Need a little color for your Black Friday? Nintendo has announced that on November 28th, they will be releasing two limited edition bundles of the Nintendo DS. The Mario bundle includes a red Nintendo DS with an M for Mario emblazoned on the lid and a copy of New Super Mario Bros. The Brain Age bundle includes an ice blue Nintendo DS with a custom carrying case and Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day. Both bundles will retail for $149.99
It looks like Nintendo isn’t going to sit idly by this holiday season. They are going to send the Nintendo DS out with a bang in anticipation for the DSi next year. Will any of you be picking up this bundle for a special someone or are you willing to let that person suffer and wait it out for the new hardware?
Remember the sweet Master Chief helmet you got for $129.99 that you couldn’t wear or interact with at all? The same one that was going for 60 bucks a few months later? Gears of War 2 is giving you an actual Lancer, thats the chainsaw gun for you noobs, that has a pullable trigger and real chainsaw sounds. They say life-size, but it’s probably much smaller than an actual gun. It seems that if they want people to shed more than twice the price for some extra content, they need to give them cool toys. I would have bought a Halo 3 Legendary if I got a Battle rifle or a life-sized Cortana blow up doll. The Gears 2 bundle goes for $139.99
If you read that title and hoped one of the bundles involved a little known game called Metal Gear Solid 4, you’ll be a bit disappointed.
The first pack brings you a 40GB PS3 with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (pictured above). This pack will be released March 29th for a cool €399. The second pack (pictured after the jump), gives a 40GB with three BluRay movies: Casino Royale, 300, and Spider-Man 3.
Decent packs if you’re into that sort of thing, but I think a Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle would sell a bit better. Just my two cents (or Euros, if you’re counting).

Microsoft sent out a press release today to let us know that new Xbox 360 bundles are coming for the Holiday season. Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance will be packed in with all Pro and Elite consoles. Sorry Core buyers, no love for you. And no love for the Halo 3 Special Edition either.
This is a pretty good bundle for those looking to pick up a 360 (or replace a broken one).

The Xbox Pro and Elite 360 bundle has been discovered by kotaku recently. The bundle seems to have 2 “free” games which appear to be Forza Motorsport and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. The bundle will also include all of the accessories that an pro/elite should have. The price on these is not yet known, but should be discounted for it would not make much sense to charge full price for games that could very well sell on their own.
