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.

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
