When bought as The Beast Entertainment Pack, consumers will save over $200 based on the RRP of individual products, with the bundle retailing for only $399 RRP.
The Beast includes two recent Xbox games Midtown Madness 3 and Brute Force. Brute Force is an action-packed, sci-fi squad based shooter a must have game for first time Xbox users. Midtown Madness 3 provides gamers with madcap, over-the-top racing and driving excitement in two of the world's most fascinating cities - Paris and Washington, D.C. - delivering the rush and excitement of street racing.

"'The Beast' is such a value-packed bundle that Xbox is sure to be the console of choice this Christmas," says Xbox marketing manager, Richard Hirst.
