Splinter Cell Conviction Special Edition Xbox 360

Splinter Cell Conviction will be launching April 13th and Microsoft is making a special edition Splinter Cell Conviction Xbox 360 Elite that will launch the same day.

The Special Edition bundle include the game, special artwork on the box, two controllers, a 250GB hard drive, and everything else you would get in an Elite 360 package.

The price is $399 per console, but other special edition consoles like the Resident Evil 5 Elite Console sell for more today than they did when they first launched if they are new, and about $100 less than retail if it is used.

This seems to be a new pattern with Microsoft and big releases. Final Fantasy XIII 360 comes out tomorrow and I'm sure games like Halo Reach will have their own special editions bundles too.

Final Fantasy XIII Limited Edition Xbox 360

Square-Enix and Microsoft are teaming up to offer a Special Edition Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 Bundle.

This definitely has a good chance of becoming a collector's item. It's an RPG, a special edition console, and did I mention it's Final Fantasy? The bundle includes Final Fantasy XIII game, a white Xbox 360 Elite, a 250GB hard drive, and all the accessories you would usually find with a 360 Elite.

The price will be $399 and it launches with the game on March 9th.

Resident Evil 5 Special Edition Bundle still sells for about $450-500 if its new and I wouldn't be surprised if the FF13 bundle keeps its value just as well.
