Hedon Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 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; "> My link That will be HOT. Hopefully those people that buy it see the included beta code for the Reach MP beta.

Emn1ty Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 This is awesome not because I want it, but because Forza 3's used price should plummet :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/882178-microsoft-announces-xbox-360-elite-spring-bundle/#findComment-592331048 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebianoti Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 My link 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?

If you have no need for a new one, then this isn't for you. :facepalm: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/882178-microsoft-announces-xbox-360-elite-spring-bundle/#findComment-592331106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stetson Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 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? 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.

Sikh Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 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? 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 :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/882178-microsoft-announces-xbox-360-elite-spring-bundle/#findComment-592331192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigglesTheFish Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 That bundle is a lot better than the one I got with my Xbox 360 Elite before Christmas... LEGO Batman and Pure... I hate LEGO Batman so much now...

Sikh Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 My wife doesn't play video games and she wants me to get a red controller. 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/882178-microsoft-announces-xbox-360-elite-spring-bundle/#findComment-592331236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidSolstice Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 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. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/882178-microsoft-announces-xbox-360-elite-spring-bundle/#findComment-592334702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argote Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Wow, I think this is the first time they bundle 2 top-tier AAA games. And I actually want both of these games! (they're on my to-buy list).
