SOURCE

Ars Technica's "mole" says that the Xbox 360 maker is planning to bundle Halo 3 and Fable II into a new Elite package. If true, that may explain why other retail-sourced rumors indicate that the current version of the Elite console would be phased out by the manufacturer.

Ars' mole has been right before, correctly calling the Resident Evil 5 Elite bundle the company started selling last month.

Indeed. Picked one up last August when Dell was selling them for $299 with Forza 2 and Marvel Alliance.

They'll probably have a non-bundled version of the elite. If they don't then that is pretty stupid..

Hey, I might use your suggestions, thanks man, that's the problem I had with the 1st Fable, I thought it was an RPG even though it lasted around 10 hours and was way too easy, I don't remember dying in that game.

i got pretty bored with the first fable. But i really enjoyed Fable 2, yahhtzee said that "sure you could pluck your wife full of holes, have all the babies you want and kill everyone in your town, but what's the point?" and my answer is: for poops and giggles. When you kill everyone in your path in an RPG you usually get some sort reward or punishment based on your actions, but not on fable 2 and that's what makes the game so much fun. Now don't get me wrong, i love WRPGS, but some times doing stuff just for heck of it is just plain fun, i highly recomend the game.... just don't think of it as an RPG

Actually it's still pretty simple and still a little short, but there's just a lot more to this than the actual storyline. There's a lot of cool stuff to see and do in the game.

While you say the quest is short, the fact that there's more to do afterwards made me have interested in it. That's good enough guys.

Good bundle, but why those titles. You think they would have something that didn't sell so well on its own. I mean Halo 3 is definately a title could seen being bought with a console, too.

I'm glad to here you concidering a Xbox-360 Elite Bundle (if they have these two great games) :D.

Fable 2 (in my opinion) is the Xbox-360's Zelda (aka. Their BEST Action/Adventure game (like the Zelda games)). If you were to rush through the game (it's main quest), it would take you 8-10 hours. However, if you were to soak in all of the details (like setting up a Economic empire and finding all of the Demon doors), the game would take you a while.

Halo 3 is my second favorite Halo game (my favorite being Halo:CE). The game has a good single player campaign and a good multiplayer mode. So you might enjoy this if you're into shooters.

Other games I recomend for you are:Bioshock, Fallout 3, Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie (on Xbox-live-arcade, Viva Pinata, and Call of Duty 4 (there are other good game that you might enjoy).

You could buy Fable 2 used at Gamestop for maybe $30-$40 (or maybe even lower).

Rumor has had it that MS would discontinue the Elite bundle except in cases of limited or special editions such as the RE5 bundle.

It's kinda good, though it's only slightly better than the RE5 bundle(about $40 less, its kinda good of a deal). Of course it's better than the "Kung Fu Panda/LEGO Indiana Jones" Bundle.:P Halo 3 sounds okay, but Fable 2 sounds like the better game in the bundle. Too bad it's not GEARS 2 and Fable 2, because Halo 3 doesn't look all that impressive, and it's just another FPS. I might decide to finally purchase a 360, but it's gonna be tough raising $400 again like I did with the PS3. And this time, no helpers(they only wanted the PS3), so I'm on my own. And I STILL wanna buy a PSP more than anything.:I

This is the only time that it makes sense to sell a 360 for the price of a PS3, imo. I always say that the Elite is a horribly priced console (I still feel that... it doesn't everything that a PS3 does, except Blu-Ray...but cost the same!!! Deal of the century :roll: ) but including 2 HQ games makes it worthwhile. Sony should learn from this and start bundling some real deal HQ recent games with their $399. Halo 3 is old, but it's an epic level title. Fable 2 is pretty new and hq exclusive. If they sold Blu-ray + MGS4 + LBP for $399... that's a deal thats hard to turn down.
