Posted? If not:
Microsoft is apparently not over its bout of bundle fever just yet, as online retailer Amazon.com is listing a new spring 2010 Xbox 360 Elite configuration that will see the system packed in with two of its biggest exclusives from last year: Halo 3: ODST and Forza Motorsport 3. Judging from packaging art, the bundle will include a 120GB hard drive and a single controller. The product page suggests the package will arrive March 9, but Amazon has not started accepting preorders for it, nor is the retailer listing a price.

MS sure does like their bundles, which is fine, but how many do you need on the market, FF one, SC one, this one, different SKUs.

Damn amazing bundle.

I just paid full price for both these games 3 months ago. Both games are still 60$ too I think.

Kinda turns the FFXIII pack into a tard bundle now.

Most stores should already have their units actually. Some people have already picked it up. ODST and Forza 3 are both in one case like Forza 2 + Marvel were.

I need to dump ODST ASAP, these bundles end up <$10 after a few months, I have three of these double packs now.

Yes!

I want it badly but I already have too many games to play, if I could get it for around 20 bucks I'd be ecstatic

LAME. Actually it reminds me of the Sega GT 2002/JSRF bundle that I got for Christmas

I love that the Final Fantasy XIII bundle comes with two controllers, and this one with Forza and Halo comes with one.

Although for the price that's awesome.

Should have dumped it last week. Was $40 ($60 using power trade). Now it's $20 - $30 somewhere. I gotta dump Forza 3 but it is a Most Wanted title so I think the $40 should hold until the end of the month. I wish the eligible power trade games were things I want though =/ Already did it for Resonance of Fate.

attach rate will be like 12. and they'll somehow lump Final Fantasy XIII in there somewhere to make it look like it sold a lot.

If someone hasn't bought a 360 after Halo 3 and ODST launched, what makes you think a beta code for another Halo game will make them want to buy the system?

Godamn this is weird. I was this close to buying an Elite at Target tonight but I decided to wait till April because of a possible new bundle. I get home,turn on the pc and read this,wow.
:lol


These two games I've played just briefly but enjoyed allot,I won't have to borrow these games off friends any longer.
Perfect timing,I so want an elite and this bundle looks like sex.

Shame the DFGT doesn't work on Xbox 360 otherwise I'd sell my current one and upgrade for the bigger HDD and Forza, while my brother would probably enjoy ODST :(

wow, one guy comments that microsoft are doing this to combat the ps3's current lowered price and suddenly a few people jump on the "omg ur trol" comments. Chill out people.

Also, this is a pretty wicked deal. I'll need to tell my brother, he's been thinking about getting Forza 3 and 360 for awhile now.

If I can't fix my Xbox with the Instructables.com fix, I might buy this for the ODST Reach beta. Addicted to Halo, yes :(

I hope this means the Arcade will be coming down in price again soon. $150 MSRP Arcade would be great.

I also hope gamestop decides to take take in the Forza 3/ODST box as its own SKU and not split them up, would love to be able to pick both games super cheap down the line. While they tend to keep them as one unit, I can easily see them deciding to break it up to maximize profit, but if kept together they should be $20 for both in a years time.

Yes! This is the exact bundle I needed. Now I don't have to buy ODST when I get my 360. Thank you Microsoft. ^^

I don't know about the US, but rumour mill states that a bunch of stores in Canada should have the Arcade for $129.99 as at least a temporary sale later this month.
