Things just heated up for March. You get the best Racer of 2009 along with Halo ODST which was a great game and has enjoyable fire fight mode, along with of course the Halo Reach beta invite.

Seems like MS loves bundling their consoles with Forza. Now with bundles Included Halo ODST and Forza 3 should sell even more.

The Bundle will retail for $299 and will be in the US sometime next week. You'll get ODST and Forza 3 free of charge.

Why people will buy Arcade Consoles now? I have no idea, unless It's a simple replacement or they have no interest in either game.

Off-topic: The Wii has very little chance at hitting 50% market share now with all the systems that Sony and MS are going to be going through.

Very smart, HALO ODST will build a fanbase for HALO REACH

amazon?

Yeap, and of course Halo ODST still has all the Halo 3 multiplayer maps and Firefight (which I've yet to see firefight modes in Reach but who knows). Forza 3 is an awesome game that everyone who owns a 360 should experience that has the slightest interest in sim racers.

It really is a good deal in the US.

Halo already has a fanbase, MS just wants to compete this month, this will do well.

every copy of ODST will have access to the reach beta, so yes it will be garning up a fanbase for REACH, even if it already has a large fanbase to begin with, it will just make it bigger. ALSO bundeling forza is genius, that way it will push people who are waiting to get GT5 to just get a 360 and play forza.

It's been awhile since they bundled first party games

Hmm... why did MS do this? because they have nothing to go against Sony for March or the upcoming months. I still dont think that bundle will help snag consumers from buying Gow3 along with a ps3, or FF13 along with a ps3 etc.

wow thats an awesome bundle
damm it i need a 2nd 360 for upstair
this is the perfect excuse that im gonna tell my boyfriend
