There are two bundles announced. The first bundle is Xbox 360 Elite with Lego Batman and Pure. The interesting thing to note here is that it will be sold for $299.99. With this news and Uncharted 2, hopefully the prices will be matching the prices in USA.

This could be good for those that don't want Halo 3 and do not need a wireless adapter. But its a bummer that Lego Batman has

Thanks for the info - when I read Batman in your post, I automatically thought Arkham Asylum not Lego Batman. BAA with a TIV of less than $8 just blew my mind...

For the lazy: Arcade games in second bundle are Lumines Live, Bomberman Live, Geometry Wars, Ms. Pac-Man

I think I may try and do the trade 10 for that holiday bundle and use rewards points to knock another $50 off. $149.99 for Elite and two games is decent.

Got update from Microsoft. There won't be any price drops. So it seems the $299 will be specific to the holiday bundle alone. They also confirmed that Forza 3 will in fact be sold for $69.99 in Canada.

So I assume the Halo 3 bundle is going away then? I may have to be quick to pick it up then as I need the wireless adapter more then these 2 games.
