This year, the $299 Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Bundle comes with an Elite console, as well as LEGO Batman: The Videogame and Pure. The second bundle is not a console, but rather an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Game Pack for $59.99. It comes with a black wireless 360 controller and five Xbox LIVE Arcade games -- Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, Lumines LIVE!, Bomberman LIVE!, and Ms. Pac-Man.
The console bundle is shipping to retailers right now, and should be available soon. The Controller Game Pack ships this November, and considering controllers are $49.99 by themselves, is a pretty damned good deal.

Go to Amazon and buy a 360-for-windows controller for $30 any day of the week and you get the added bonus of a wireless adapter so you can use the controller on your PC as well as regular ole 360 functionality.
That shit is crack.
I agree these bundles are really crappy.
I still wish that if MS would put out all these Live pushing Wlite bundles they'd at least offer a discount on the wifi adapter.
That or you can do what I did and find a $20 one that works with the original Xbox and realize it works on the 360. BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY!
Hell, Lego Batman on DS is one of my favorite games.
How are those shitty games? At worst, they are "okay". Pure in particular got great reviews.
Though Pure...um...yeah, not that awesome. I think they should've put something like Fable or ODST in there. This is the Elite bundle, after all, pretty sure people buying it are getting it to play FPS. Or, even better, put a game and like a 3 month live card in there.
And I retract my Lumines comment, for some reason I got it confused with another game. Durr. Still, I love me some Peggle.
So I take it the Arcade version isn't getting a Holiday bundle? Because that's pretty lame. Granted, the one last year came with Superstar Tennis (barf), but the Arcade disc got lots of use...
You say five, I say four.
I need wi-fi :/
I think the only bundle that would tempt me into buying the shoddy box-o-fail to sit next to my PS3 would be...
Elite 250g HDD
2 controllers (WITH CHARGER PACKS)
WiFi adapter
at least 1 year free LIVE
HDMI cable
Dead Rising and/or L4D
For about £200 tops.
