New Xbox 360 Elite Bundle w/ Forza 3 and Halo 3: ODST Preorder $299.99 @ Amazon, FutureShop, BestBuy

comment

Considering an Xbox 360 purchase in near future? You should check out the imminent release of the Xbox 360 Elite Spring Value Bundle that comes with Forza 3 and Halo 3: ODST for $299.99. The old holiday bundle (with Lego Batman and Pure) has certainly been around the block, so an offer with some newer, bigger titles is very welcome. Amazon lists a release date of March 9.

Forza Motorsports 3 is widely held as the best racing game for the Xbox 360 right now -- reviews come out at a whopping 92/100 per Metacritic.com. It currently sells for anywhere from $49.99 to $59.99 new. For its part, Halo 3: ODST comes in at 83/100 on Metacritic.com and also sells for $49.99 to $59.99 new.

Even if $299.99 is the MSRP, it's a strong value for anyone looking to pick up an Xbox 360 Elite -- and that's what counts. You'll get free shipping from any of the listed retailers.

- Man....I already picked up my Forza 3 Super Elite bundle from EB
  The sales wrote Final sale on my receipt so I can't return it for credit, lol
  
  I think this is a better deal
- the_fm
- but it's not in stock yet

  That depends if you took advantage of the various TIV deals, as the best offer on this is a measly $100 for 4 high-end games at Rogers.

- Seems like the day is next Tuesday that it's released. Still a good deal, should be tons of stock on this.. I'll edit the OP.

- Should every XBOX 360 bundle that is released be considered a hot deal? It's a nice bundle but it's still the regular price and it's not like someone found it on sale, stores will have ample supply and it's not limited to one week or something like that. Not trying to bash your thread OP it's just products that are regular price and not in limited supply should not be considered hot.

  Honestly, I think it's a good deal. Best Xbox 360 package that will be currently available. Both of those games you can sell privately for $40/each, maybe more if unsealed. Personally though, I'd keep both. Both are great games. Both are very new and retail at $60/$70. Each to their own though?

  I agree it's a great bundle, both games are less than 6 months old and still have high trade in value (will drop with the release of this bundle). I still think it's not hot just because it's regular price and not limited. However your post might inform some people to hold of on a 360 purchase and wait for this bundle so they can get a better deal.

  Nope, that just means you'll need to trade in your Forza 3 and Halo 3 ODST copies NOW, before this pack hits retail. Any game bundled in a mass market XBOX 360 pack has tanked soon after.

- It depends on what you would rather have, the Final Fantasy XIII bundle is out in a week or two as well at $399.99 Canadian. $100 more but the Super Elite bundle is the only way to get the 250 GB hard drive if that is what you wanted
  
  120 GB Hard Drive + Halo ODST + Forza 3 + $100 savings
  
  vs
  
  250 GB Hard Drive + Final Fantasy XIII + Extra Controller + Exclusive Avatar Items

  The FF13 bundle is an extra $100 than this bundle.
- braveblade
- I hope EB can allow me to do a T4 $100 off on this unit.
  It will be smoking hot!

  yeah, you can easily trade your ODST for a brand new wireless controller on craigslist
  
  and forza 3 and FF13 balance out
  
  so $100 more for 130GB of hard drive is not cool

  Yeah, I noticed that after I made my post. I edited my post.
  
  My bad.

  Rogers Plus allows you to do T4 get $100 off
  
  but the games are top tier and harder to come by

- I've got to say this...
  
  Other than a $149 Arcade Jasper sale, NONE of these XBOX 360 packages is a "deal" (especially an Elite) if you're spending actual cash. The upcoming trade-in offers will determine the true deals, so we're going to have to wait and see.

  this doesn't really belong in the hot deals section, more of a "look out for the new bundle coming soon" post

  These 2 games are most likely the 2 in 1 games in one case with the not for sale label....can u still trade those in?

  Are those two games still $40 each at EB? If so, then I guess I can buy the Xbox 360 bundle the day it comes out, rip the packaging out, and trade it in. Any reason why I shouldn't do it on that day?
