It’s been pretty dreary on the retail front for the last few weeks – strange considering Christmas is right around the corner.<\/p>\n

However, Makro has a decent offering – the XBox 360 250GB Super Shooter Bundle for R2,999. The bundle includes a 250GB XBox 360, a wireless controller, a wired headset and 4 games (Gears of War 3, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Halo 4, and Tomb Raider).<\/p>\n

The promotional price is valid until 9 December 2013.<\/p>\n
