    If you have been holding off on getting an XBox 360 this is a great opportunity. Both of the included games are must owns and would cost you at least $100 if you bought them separately. Forza 3 is arguably better than the Gran Turismo series, I personally have a lot more fun with it. Halo ODST has all the multiplayer stuff from Halo 3 so the online content is really nice. The system reliability problems have been resolved, though I would still buy the three year warranty through Amazon no matter what console you buy.

    I own a PS3 slim as well and both systems are great and both have great exclusive games so if you can you should own them both, but I would start with an XBox if you have neither. The only thing that disappoints me about the XBox is that built-in wireless should have been added a long time ago. The wireless adapter is laughably overpriced but there are cheaper alternatives like using a PC with internet connection sharing or buying a TRENDnet TEW-647GA Ethernet Port Wireless Gaming Adapter. Some people think that XBox Live should be free also, and it would be nice if it was but you can find it cheaper if you look around. I always get a 1 year card for $30. For that price it is a bit better than PSN, which isn't as polished and organized as XBox Live.

    Other great games for 360 ...
    Mass Effect 1 & 2 - These are must play RPGs
    Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition (also on PS3 but it's very buggy, get it on XBox instead)
    Fable 2
    Gears of War 1 & 2
    Halo Reach (coming later)
    Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 - also on PC since Valve apparently hates Sony :-(
    Viva Pinata

    Also since the XBox has been around longer you can find A LOT more budget priced games and cheap used games around.

    If you want to get a system now this is a great bundle, but if you are still on the fence about jumping into the HD generation I would wait. The rumored "valhalla" chipset should be coming this year, which will be the CPU and GPU on one die which will take up less space and will probably prompt Microsoft to make a XBox 360 "Slim" like Sony always does. If they do that it will really boost sales and no one will want the older bigger model anymore.

    Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1IVDHGPS1FREF My reasons for buying the XBox360 are many, but the main reason was to play certain games not offered on my PS3. The games I like probably aren't ones most XBox360 owners like. I'm a big fan of some of the classic games offered in XBox Game Room, Space Invaders Extreme, Outrun Online Arcade and Geometry Wars Evolved.
    I also bought this package, because the 2 games I always wanted and envied XBox owners for, Forza Motorsport 3 and Halo 3 (ODST).
    The only downfall I see with XBox 360 is that it is a much more expensive machine to own in the long run. For the XBox360 controller, you must constantly purchase 2 AA batteries. You could opt for a play and charge kit, but that isn't free. Also, 50 dollars for a year subscription to play online, which I'd say is a must if you own a game like Halo 3 or Modern Warfare 2. Last but not least is a huge added expense, the wireless network adapter. Personally, I have an N network and would have to buy one of these to go wireless. Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter A/B/G & N Networks

    I do believe that all 3 systems are excellent(5 stars) systems and there are pros and cons to each. The XBox360 is an awesome system, but just beware of the added expenses after the initial purchase. I highly recommend the XBox 360 2010 Elite Spring Bundle.
    Awesome bundle

    Seeing as I needed a new Xbox the elite bundle seemed to be the best option as you get two free games. I lucked out and just happened to order a couple days after the Spring Version release. I'm glad I was able to get two good games instead of Lego Indian Jones and one good game. Two things I don't like about the package is a lack of HDMI or Component cables and Microsoft refusing to give out the transfer cables for free anymore. These are minor things however as anyone with an older 360 can still use the original video cables with the Elite. Overall a great purchase. A must buy for anyone wishing to buy or upgrade the Xbox 360.

    I had been wanting an Xbox 360 for a while. Finally a bundle I could not pass up! Both games high up on my desire to play list, bundle that with the 120GB hard drive and make the console black, and I couldn't resist. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to others who do not have an Xbox 360 or have a red ringed older model.
