Today, Microsoft is shipping the new Xbox 360 Elite Spring Bundle, which offers more value than ever this spring. For the same price of $299, the Xbox 360 Elite console now comes with two highly acclaimed Xbox 360 exclusives: "Halo 3: ODST" and "Forza Motorsport 3." The Xbox 360 Elite Spring Bundle is perfect for those who want a premium gaming and entertainment experience.

Developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by acclaimed developer Bungie, "Halo 3: ODST" lets players experience the fateful events leading up to the epic story told in "Halo 3" through the eyes of an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), as well as play the new "Firefight" cooperative multiplayer mode. Additionally, "Halo 3: ODST" contains the complete "Halo 3" multiplayer experience on a separate game disc, including all 24 multiplayer maps. As an added bonus, the "Halo 3: ODST" game disc grants access to the upcoming "Halo: Reach" multiplayer beta on Xbox LIVE, which begins May 3. Anyone who purchases the Xbox 360 Elite Spring Bundle will have the opportunity to join in this highly anticipated beta test on Xbox LIVE and experience a sampling of the multiplayer modes in "Halo: Reach," which launches this fall.

The highest-rated racing game of this console generation, "Forza Motorsport 3" makes it possible for everyone to experience the thrill of the world's most exotic and exquisite cars. Live the most realistic racing experience ever as you take the wheel of more than 400 of the most beloved cars on over 100 renowned real-world tracks and exotic road courses from around the globe. The "Forza Motorsport" online community is also alive and thriving, as players compete on Xbox LIVE, sell and swap their custom Liveries and tuning set-ups via their personalized Storefronts and the Auction House, and share videos, photos and paint designs with friends. And with new Game Add-ons releasing every month, this award-winning driving experience is only getting better in 2010.

The Xbox 360 Elite Spring Bundle includes a 120GB Hard Drive that offers the storage to download games, the latest demos, TV shows, movies, music and more straight to your Xbox 360 console through Xbox LIVE, and is available while supplies last. <br class="brclear" style="clear: both; ">

That will be HOT. Hopefully those people that buy it see the included beta code for the Reach MP beta.

I don't understand Microsoft. Real gamers already own a ******* xbox 360, So why the **** are they making us buy another one just because

it has a ******* bundle?

Nobody is making you buy anything. If you have no need for a new one, then this isn't for you.

:facepalm:

Um. How about ... don't buy one? I don't see how you got the idea that they are "making us buy another one." I would imagine that this bundle is aimed at those who don't yet own a 360. Microsoft is making it a bit more tempting by bundling a few games.

woah there someone didn't have his wheaties today. Regardless the are doing this for those with old consoles / those looking go just adopt into this gen gaming console. Personally I believe this is the best bundle they have released.

Also with controllers being $40, yes 40 they are making a great move. Idk if it's a sale or not but next thing I know regular controllers are $40 and bundle controllers(controller +play&charge) are $55. That's great pricing. I hope it sticks as I noticed it's all stores not just Gamestop.

All I know is next payday I'm picking up 2 bundle controllers for the gf and a friend. Both red/black with play and charge :)

My wife doesn't play video games and she wants me to get a red controller. unsure.gif

HAha right on. Pick it up while it's on sale. I had the red/black one as it matched my old console. Then got my cod system and stayed with black. My old console was red/black so controller was perfect.

It is a very nice looking controller. I like it

This is a freaking fantastic deal, especially when you consider that ODST is technically two games; one disc is the ODST campaign and the second disc is the entire Halo3 multiplayer collection (all map packs + mythic), and that second disc also gives you an invite to the Halo Reach beta.

Win. Win. WIN.

    • Finally we can whole-heartedly recommend the AMD 9070 GRE thanks to this discount by Sayan Sen Earlier this month at Computex 2026 AMD released the Radeon RX 9070 GRE for a global audience. We reviewed the GPU and it scored 8 out of 10 for gaming and 7.5 out of 10 for productivity including things like AI performance. The card launched for $550 which we thought was a bit on the higher side, though currently you are getting the chance to get the Gigabyte Gaming variant of the GPU for just $500 thanks to this discount (purchase link under the specs table down below). As such we can finally whole-heartedly recommend this GPU. The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specs of the Gigabyte Gaming RX 9070 GRE OC is given in the table below: Specification Value Boost Clock Up to 2920 MHz Game Clock Up to 2340 MHz Stream Processors 3072 Memory Clock 18 Gbps Memory Size 12 GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 192-bit Memory Bandwidth 432 GB/s Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Max Resolution 7680 × 4320 Max Displays (Multi-view) 4 Card Dimensions 288 × 132 × 50 mm (L × W × H) Recommended Power Supply 700 W Power Connectors 2 × 8-pin Display Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB GDDR6 GPU (GV-R907GREGAMING OC-12GD): $549.99 + $50 discount with promo code in mail => $499.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only.
