REDMOND, Washington (AP) -- Microsoft Corp. said Tuesday it has released a lower-priced version of its Xbox 360 gaming console that comes bundled with five family-oriented games.
Dubbed the Xbox 360 Arcade console, the device comes with games and a wireless controller.
Unlike other Xbox consoles, which come with hard drives and significant storage space, the Arcade console does not include a hard drive but comes with 256 megabytes of storage. The bundle costs $280.
Microsoft said the games include "PAC-MAN Championship Edition," Luxor 2" and "Uno."
The company also said Tuesday it is increasing its family-related content by offering Warner Bros.' "Looney Tunes" cartoons for download on Xbox 360. It has made the Nickelodeon shows "Blue's Clues," "The Backyardigans" and "iCarly" available through Xbox Live as well.
Microsoft also said it will be adding the games "SpongeBob SquarePants Underpants Slam" and "SHREK-N-ROLL" for download through Xbox Live Arcade.
