Microsoft, at the Gamescom 2014 keynote address in Germany, made a ton of announcement, including the launch of three big holiday bundles – “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare,” “Sunset Overdrive,” and “FIFA 15,” available for pre-order.
Xbox Head Phil Spencer, unveiling the bundles, claimed this year’s options – “a trio of great system bundles” to be unparallel and that the company is excited “to offer fans more choice than ever before.”
The bundles offering a “great opportunity to enjoy Xbox One alongside an incredible line-up of first and third party games,” range from $350 to $499, and will be selling without the Kinect sensor.

The Xbox 360 version of FIFA 15 will also come to Europe at the same time.
