I haven't heard of any pre-order extras. It might be labeled as a bundle because of the 360 games.
But we will know what's up by then though!!!

"Collections" on the Xbox store generally have separate store pages/files for each game. State of Decay has separate ones from the main game for Lifeline and Deadline (check under manage game). Borderlands 2 and Pre-Sequel are separate, as are the two Prototype games, as examples, they have their own store pages but count over "Handsome Jack/Biohazard" Bundles.
Because the Rare Replay Collection includes the Xbox 360 games which are not specifically being redone, I think the bundle is for all the separate 360 game files, plus the one bigger one which will have all the non-360 games in it.
I hope all that makes sense...

Yeah I posted that the previous page, seemingly all the 360 games are not included on the disc, though makes sense as we would have been wondering what magic they used to fit all 30 games into 11Gb

It's makingme quite sad that they are not offering everything on disc. Sure, they'd need two blurays, but what sad state would it be if you wanted to play this anniversary collection after XBL is down and you cannot play the 360 games on it anymore...

I'm pretty sure that everything would be on the disc, and that the disc would install the Xbox 360 games separately from the rest of the game. Are you guys just going off of the size of the digital version listed on the page? That doesn't really mean anything. You can always ask Rare directly, though.
Guessing you didn't read all recent posts
After purchase, the Xbox 360 titles within Rare Replay will also be added to your download queue. Installation space for all titles will require a further 38Gb. If you cancel the installation of a title, you can reinstall at any time by locating the title in the "Ready to Install" section of My Games & app or within the Xbox Store.
That's from the small print on the xbox store page

I've read every post of the thread. I'm subscribed to it. I made a point of mentioning that the info that was posted was from the Xbox store page, which is for the digital version. This does not mean that the disc won't have the Xbox 360 games on them.
Of course the Xbox store page would mention that the digital version would need to download the Xbox 360 games separately, since they're all just basically emulated ISOs of the Xbox 360 discs. There's more than enough space on the retail disc to fit all of those files on there, and they'd install separately from the other stuff, just like the digital version. Episodic games, for instance, install each episode separately off of the disc instead of as one large file.
Of course, I could be wrong about them being on disc. I don't work for Rare, after all.. But it'd be dumb to leave all of that free disc space there unused.
Edit: I sent a Tweet to Rare asking about it. Hopefully I did it right, as I don't really use Twitter normally.

6050 GS is covered by the backwards compatible 360 titles (and as a side note, a lot of achievement hunters out there are annoyed that this collection doesn't have a "new" 10,000 GS as it initially seemed like it would).
The current achievement list for the collection exists, but it seems to be incomplete as it is only 2780 GS and doesn't include any achievements for Killer Instinct Gold, Conker's BFD, Blast Corps, or Jet Force Gemini. It's possible that those will be separated out into different achievement lists to account for the missing 1170 GS, or perhaps added later.
Craig Duncan has confirmed that this will be the case. The 360 games are going to be included on the disc.
Romsize for the first 26 games are 7.5GB exluding emulation etc.
If they used a dual layer BluRay I dont see why they couldnt fit all the games onto one disc so I guess there are some other reasons to this.
I really just want to play Grabbed By The Ghoulies again and I really don't want to buy another console for one game. Apparently it's backwards compatible with 360, though?
The games may not really be that large - especially with dummy file padding and they can probably compress assets.

has there been any word whether some of the coop games would feature online coop? I would like to at least play Battletoads online but i'm guessing that that wont happen
Yeah, Grabbed by the Ghoulies is playable on 360. You can download it straight from the marketplace. Not too bad for ten bucks, but obviously this collection is the better deal.
Wondering this as well. I'd especially love for Conker's multiplayer to have Live support, but I know that won't happen.

The far superior Arcade Battletoads is included though.

Maybe they'll do more of the remaining Rare titles that they can without additional licensing as DLC. Still, if you're gonna pick the two BT games, they chose well. I never really felt the appeal of Battlemaniacs outside of bigass sprites as it always felt too slippy to control, lacking any of the crispness of control the others had.
Not only that, but it's finally on a console!!!

Awesome! Got a link to where he said this, by any chance?

It'd be nice to see some of the different variations of Battletoads (BT & DD, BT Gen, BT Gameboy, BT Famicom etc). I'd pay $40 for a complete Battletoads pack, actually.

This is my main question. I only have a 360 and to get all the 360 games for $30 is such a good deal (N&B and Pinata for instance equals $30 alone).
I would imagine that if you bought the digital version it would be just the single download code which would only work on xbox one and not say individual codes for each 360 game so I don't think you could play them on the 360.

Yay!! Thanks for the link. This makes me happy. : )

Awesome, then what about that 38 gb download?
11 gb +38 gb = 49 GB Just the full size of a double layered blu ray.

Buying regular controllers is useless. Battletoads is the real reason the elite controller was made. Also i cant seem to buy the game on xbox store (uk). Just says bundle only.

Even the worst players with anger issues should be ok considering there's a 10-second rewind feature in every game.

So annoying to not have a discount/reward offer on the digital release. This needs to live on the HDD with no "key disk" required.

Any word on when we can preload seeing as Gears of War had theirs today?
When they continue to say it like that, it makes it seem like they're teasing something. I don't know..
Awesome that they're making new tracks for some of the game! Hoping for some new Banjo tunes
yes, sure did
talking about the current one? I sure hope so.
Not quite:
