As it did last year, Microsoft has chosen to follow up the recent Xbox 360 price cuts with a holiday-themed hardware bundle, and new for this year, a controller-game pack.

The Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Bundle packs two games, block-busting beat 'em up LEGO Batman and offroad racer Pure, along with the hardware itself for the usual $299. The bundle ships to stores today--if you act fast, you could still get in on the $50 rebate.

Microsoft also unveiled a $59.99 controller game pack that bundles a wireless Xbox 360 controller (usually $49.99) with four downloadable Xbox Live Arcade titles: Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, Lumines LIVE!, Bomberman LIVE! and Ms Pac-Man.

Honestly, I still think Microsoft's best North America bundle was with the first XBOX with Jet Set Radio Future and SEGA GT 2002.

Both bundles are nice deals. Too bad I already have Geo Wars or I would get that controller bundle.
