Gamer Node received word from their Microsoft Belgium ’sources’ that the Xbox 360 Core is being completely phased out but, will be replaced by the Xbox 360 Arcade – Just Play package. Interesting name to say the least. The bundle comes with 5 arcade games (which look to include Pac-Man and UNO), a 256MB Memory Unit and HDMI-out sans HDMI cable. The chart also indicates that the new Arcade pack will come with a wireless controller.

Anyone else think this is a fake?

Maybe it was, maybe it was just a quick mock-up; nobody knows. What we do know now is that the 360 Arcade Bundle is here to stay, and for a low price of only $279.99. [...]
