As usual, first came the rumors, then the facts. And this time around, the rumor mill was right on the money - Microsoft has officially announced the Xbox 360 Arcade pack in the UK.

The bundle will include five best-selling arcade games: PAC-MAN Championship Edition, Uno, Luxor 2, Boom Boom Rocket, and Feeding Frenzy.

The pack also includes a wireless controller, a HDMI port and a 256MB memory stick.

Stephen McGill, Head of Gaming and Entertainment for Microsoft UK: “As European families gather together this Christmas, it’s the perfect time to launch a family orientated Xbox 360 package that plays games, video and music for everyone to enjoy. In addition to offering an incredible all-in-one package for families to get right into the fun, the Xbox 360 Arcade system features the industry leading family settings that allow parents to control what their kids are watching and playing, and we know how important that control is to families around the world.”

The Arcade bundle will go on sale on October 26th, for £199.99.
