Microsoft confirms Sega Christmas Pack

Bundle to go on sale November 1st

Microsoft has officially confirmed that starting November 1st, punters will be able to purchase the Sega GT 2002 and Jet Set Radio Future Xbox bundle for €249.99 / £159.99. Unlike the American bundle though, the European edition will include a traditional Xbox controller rather than the smaller Controller S, despite launching on the peripheral's official release date. The "Sega Christmas Pack" is Microsoft's attempt to outperform Sony's PlayStation 2 in Europe, having recently hopped into second place in the console race. The PS2 retails for £169.99 game-free.
