Since April 1st was a few days ago, we're taking the following as a serious news bit.

Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) is offering a deal for those on the fence about getting a Surface 2 tablet. The Microsoft Store is offering two games and an Xbox controller in a deal priced at $899. So, you save over $104 on the combination.

What's included? One wireless Xbox controller, Farming Simulator 2013, and War Thunder, Mustang Advanced Pack. The deal is dubbed the Surface Pro 2 Geek + Sundry Bundle.

Microsoft notes that Farming Simulator 2013 is: The largest and most exciting farming simulator ever made. Farming Simulator 2013 is bigger than its predecessor and enriched with outstanding content and many new features, challenging you to take on the role of a modern day farmer. The 2013 version has even more diverse crops, new livestock and new vehicles never seen before in a video game.

What about War Thunder? Microsoft comments: Mustang Advanced Pack features the most iconic American fighter in the United States Army Air Force, the North American P-51 Mustang, which was one of the most successful fighters of the entire WWII. This advanced pack includes: P-51D-20 'Mustang' airplane, premium account for two weeks, and 2000 Golden Eagles.
