EBgames.com tipped its hand on Xbox 360 preorder bundles yesterday, betting that gamers would be willing to shell out almost $600 to get their hands on an Xbox 360 Core System, four preselected games, and two accessories. Today, longtime competitor and future partner Gamestop.com saw that bet, and raised it $100.

Gamestop.com updated today with four preorder bundles for the Xbox 360, the least expensive of which clocks in at $699.91 for an Xbox Core System, an extra wired controller, a memory unit, a one-year product replacement plan, and five games: Perfect Dark Zero Collector's Edition, Project Gotham Racing 3, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Dead or Alive 4, and Call of Duty 2.

There's also an Xbox Silver bundle at $799.90, which comes with the premium edition of the console, the same five games, a wireless controller, a play and charge kit, a rechargeable battery pack, and a one-year replacement plan.

The Xbox Gold bundle is the same as the Silver bundle, but it comes with Kameo: Elements of Power and a 12-month subscription card to Xbox Live thrown in. It's going for $899.88 at the moment.
