Buyer beware, I suspect that MS is trying to shift all of their pre-jasper elite units. When I was hunting for the new jaspers last year pros and arcades were flying of the shelves, some stores ran out completely. The elite's however sat and gathered dust and all had mfg dates from early 08, even a few from 07.
I have to say I'm surprised that MS is actually putting worthwhile games in a bundle for once, not Lego this or sonic that. Of course my inner cynic tells me the underlying reason is to shift old units that have been sitting for a very long time.

Well, they put halo wars in the bundle, that'll get them selling, but if you mod your 360, then elites aren't any use... they cost like $300 more then an arcade, and you can make the arcade better then the elite for under $150.
I really think that the GOTY award should of went to cod 4 again ( if possible)... definately not GOW (no offense, but i do not like gow). If not cod 4 again, then i think halo 3, if halo 3 was not only on 360, then ps3 would be kicking MS's ass. They really should recognise what halo 3 has done for them.
