Xbox 360 (4GB), two controllers, charging pack, and Halo 4 (Makro) – R2,599.00

The release of Halo 4 seems to be a great reason to bundle some Xbox 360 consoles, and Makro has another offer worth a look.

A 4GB Xbox 360 console, two controllers, charging pack and Halo 4 is going for R2,599.00.

A sneaky thing to note is that Halo 4 requires 8GB of storage space to play multiplayer. Therefore, make sure you have an Xbox 360-compatible 8GB (up to 32GB supported) flashdrive, or Xbox 360 add-in hard drive if you want to pick up this deal for some multiplayer Halo action.

The special is valid until 12 November 2012.
