    1 retail packaged controller worth €39.99
    1 Xbox game, choice of Fifa 12 or Battlefield 3 worth €50
    and 2 €5 of game vouchers worth €10

    Just be careful when you buy this model that you know what you're buying. Certain game features don't work with the 4GB drive, for example the most recent one I can think of is that Battlefield 3 has a HD textures install that makes the game look much better, but the 4GB drive isn't compatible. Before, too, we were trying to play Halo Reach Co-Op and the game wouldn't let him, quick google brings up a few instances like this that make the 4gb model a bit of a pain with certain games and/or features. I'd advise anyone to get the 250GB model, unless it's for a child who wouldn't really notice.
