Microsoft Australia have announced Christmas early with an Xbox 360 Pro Bundle packaged with both Halo 3 and Halo Wars, available nation-wide from August 6th (at participating retailers).

Sounds like a pretty sweet deal if you haven't made the console jump yet, and at AU$449 (RRP), you could do a lot worse in the bundle department. For those not in the know, the Pro Bundle comes packaged with a 60GB HDD, wireless controller, HDMI in, headset and ethernet cable.

We're not sure who the 'participating' retailer are, but my guess would be EB, JB and GAME. We'll look into it for you though.

We're told we can run 'major electronics retailers' from the powers that be at Microsoft

Suprised they didn't wait another month and do a Halo ODST bundle

I care not for Xbox bundles. I Want a PS3 SLIM fkn SHADY!!!!

As an employee of GAME I can confirm we will be stocking the Halo 3 bundle at RRP :)

ok

Anyone know somewhere cheap you can get a Xbox 360...mine just RROD'd a minute ago :| Just out of the 3 year warranty by 2 months. Got a HDD and like 4 controllers so I just need the console itself. I was looking at the arcade back...but jesus christ $299?..
